(AP) — The Denver Broncos placed rookie rushing sensation Phillip Lindsay on injured reserve Friday along with wide receiver Andre Holmes (ankle).The signed outside linebacker Aaron Wallace and cornerback Horace Richardson to take their places on the 53-man roster.Neither newcomer is expected to suit up on Sunday when the Broncos (6-9) face the Los Angeles Chargers (11-4).“Probably not,” coach Vance Joseph said after the team’s third consecutive indoor practice Friday. “They’re flying in and getting physicals today. It was more about future contracts than it was for Sunday.”Lindsay was scheduled for surgery Friday and is expected to spend six weeks in a cast and six in a split. He’ll miss the Pro Bowl next month after becoming the first undrafted offensive player in NFL history to earn a Pro Bowl selection.His absence makes eight offensive players who started multiple games for the Broncos this season who won’t be in uniform Sunday.Lindsay injured his right wrist Monday night in Oakland shortly after becoming the third undrafted running back in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards his rookie season.

How early should Denver look for an inside linebacker in this year’s draft?Is this finally the year that Denver pulls the trigger on a high-round inside linebacker? Or, is there better value to be found in the later rounds? The guys over at 1st & 10 at 10 on Orange and Blue 760 tackle this debate on their “Take the Case to Court” series, with Steve Atwater making the case for targeting an inside linebacker in rounds 1-2, and Ryan Edwards making the case for waiting until rounds 3-4.Atwater makes a good point, that Vic Fangio has mentioned repeatedly the needs they have at the inside linebacker position, and how he feels it has evolved in today’s NFL. Here were Fangio’s comments when asked about LSU’s Devin White at the NFL Coaches Breakfast:When comparing these comments against Denver’s current roster, there isn’t a guy at the inside linebacker position who I would consider a 3-down linebacker. Both Josey Jewell and Todd Davis struggled in coverage last year, so if Fangio were to continue his trend of staying with two inside linebackers in sub packages, like we have seen from most of his defenses Courtland Sutton Jersey , they have to upgrade the position.On the other side of the argument, Ryan Edwards makes a good point that not only is it unlikely a guy like Devin White will be unavailable when Denver picks at #10, but Fangio’s comments on both Devin Bush and Devin White indicate he isn’t as high on them as he was on Roquan Smith who was picked #8 overall by the Bears last year. When asked how White and Bush compare to Smith, Fangio said “I don’t think either one is as good as Roquan at this stage in their career. Roquan is a special player and a special individual. It’s going to take a while to see that in those other two guys.”Now, just because they aren’t as good as one of the best inside linebackers to come out in awhile, doesn’t mean they’re not worth a top 10 pick, but Edwards points out that there is some good depth that could be had in the 3rd or 4th rounds. Guys like Germaine Pratt, Blake Cashman, or Te’Von Coney could be a developmental prospect for Denver to mold at a much lower price tag.What do you think, Broncos Country?
