Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles broke his right leg against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday evening, according to a report from KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.
The best-case scenario for Bolles would see him return after six weeks, but Klis tweeted Thursday evening that “there is fear he could miss more [time].”
This is the latest devasting injury Denver has suffered this year.
Before the season even started, the Broncos lost wide receiver Tim Patrick to a season-ending ACL injury. Last week, the Broncos lost running back Javonte Williams to a season-ending ACL and LCL injuries, and pass rusher Randy Gregory will miss at least four weeks with a knee injury.
Denver is also missing star safety Justin Simmons (thigh), and inside linebacker Josey Jewell (knee), cornerback Ronald Darby (knee) and outside linebacker Baron Browning (wrist) all left Thursday’s game with injuries.
With Bolles sidelined, the next man up on the Broncos’ depth chart is Calvin Anderson, who has started five games in his career.
