The elbow injury that rookie tailback Ryan Torain suffered is worse than the Broncos expected. Torain is set to have surgery Friday morning and now is expected to be out for 3 months.
Rookie running back Ryan Torain is expected to miss about three months after breaking a bone in his left elbow.
Broncos coach Mike Shanahan announced Thursday that Torain would need surgery. Asked if the injury was a blow to the organization, he did not respond.

“Ryan had the big body and the team had a short-yardage package in for him,” he said.

The test results today on Broncos rookie running back Ryan Torain came back with more bad news. He could be sidelined for three months.
