jgcrawfish 232 Posted November 27, 2007 Yeah, that may be, and Henry's torn PCL is a heck of an issue. Yeah, but Henry was told it's a 4-6 week injury and he's on week 4. and ADP is about to come back from the same thing in the same time. i friggin hate Denver. I'm only in this mess because Lynch got hurt. right here, right now, I swear with God as my witness, I will NEVAH get on the Denver RB roulette wheel again unless it's to grab one to trade to some poor schmuck.

jgcrawfish 232 Posted November 27, 2007 Are the NFL offices closed on Wednesday? No, but they typically announce all team business, including suspensions, on the last day before what they consider the "work week", which begins on wednesday. i don't know that to be a fact, but it's been the trend thus far. most reports that have come out indicate that if it doesn't happen on Tuesday, it won't happen that week.

FeelingMN 273 Posted November 27, 2007 Yeah, but Henry was told it's a 4-6 week injury and he's on week 4. and ADP is about to come back from the same thing in the same time. i friggin hate Denver. AD's injury was to his LCL; the least severe of the knee injuries. I'd have to think Henry is still the RB1 if healthy. Yeah yeah, both Young and Hall did very well when given the chance, but who's to say Henry wouldn't have done the same thing? Reminds me of the Giants situation. Everyone was gonzo for Ward when he was playing with Jacobs out. When Jacobs returned, there was no RBBC as people speculated there would be. Jacobs was the RB1 the whole time. I think the same holds true for Henry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nflocd 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Hmmm... maybe the Broncos know T Henry is not going to be suspended? Broncos waive FB Kyle Johnson By Bill Williamson The Denver Post Article Last Updated: 11/27/2007 04:32:21 PM MST The Broncos made a swap of a move that they made on Thanksgiving Day. Denver brought back guard Isaac Snell and waived fullback Kyle Johnson. Johnson, Denver's starting fullback last season, played Sunday in Chicago. Tuesday's move may be an indication that Denver feels better about its injury situation at running back. Mike Bell was working at tailback last week. The Broncos are dealing with injuries to running backs Travis Henry, Selvin Young and Andre Hall but at least one is expected to play at Oakland on Sunday. Henry said Monday he expects to be healthy after missing the past three games with a knee injury. http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_7572671 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looked like pretty good blocking by Johnson on Sunday, but that's another point. I'm adding Travis Henry. Damn the torpedos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Young came back on the field after his injury against the Titans, so I bet Denver was probably just erring on the side of caution last week by deactivating Henry. I don't think Henry is ready to play yet, even if he's not going to be suspended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah yeah, both Young and Hall did very well when given the chance, but who's to say Henry wouldn't have done the same thing? Reminds me of the Giants situation. Everyone was gonzo for Ward when he was playing with Jacobs out. When Jacobs returned, there was no RBBC as people speculated there would be. Jacobs was the RB1 the whole time. I think the same holds true for Henry. Tom Coughlin =/= Mike Shanahan. That said, Henry's the guy they brought in and paid the big bucks, and it wasn't to ride the pine. But they'll probably make sure he's 100% before they stick him back in there; he came back prematurely earlier this year and promptly got re-injured, as I recall.

dreadlocks34 0 Posted November 28, 2007 If Travis Henry had 2 positive samples and is not suspended for at least a year, the league office has big problems unless they come up with a really really good reason. And if they do that, it basically means they have to admit error or fault in the matter. Either way if he is not canned, it is not good for the league.

I really wonder if the league did not want to suspend Henry today as the drug suspension would come right on the heels of Sean Taylor's murder and cast the league in a negative light (like the "thug/criminal league" that the NBA has struggled with).

FeelingMN 273 Posted November 28, 2007 It's quite simple: a suspension today creates news. Negative news. No decision from theleague today creates no news. Though they did suspend Fred Evans for two games on Tuesday. The league also implied a decision was going to be made this week regarding Henry. This actually seems like the perfect time to drop the hammer on him; wouldn't be much of a news story with what's going on in Washington, and Henry hasn't been relevant for a month. Doesn't make any more sense to have him return to play a game or two, then suspend him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdm_1971 0 Posted November 28, 2007 i dont think Henry is healthy anyway....by the way Hall talks about him and young and never mentions Henry I would say that Henry is not close to coming back....... or he would talk about the 3 of them not just himself and young.....just my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,731 Posted November 28, 2007 Perfect example of what is wrong with this world. Travis Henry, a man with 9 kids, who doesn't care about any of them probably and 2 drug suspensions limps on to live another day. Shawn Taylor, a man with 1 kid, who still lived with his daughter and mother is now gone. I'm not saying either one should be dead, I'm just saying how sad it can be.
