Broncos Linebacker Nate Irving Knocked From Game

DENVER (AP) – Linebacker Nate Irving was knocked out of the Denver Broncos’ game against the Houston Texans on Sunday when he sustained a concussion while covering a punt. Irving was blocked by Texans free safety Glover Quin into punt returner Trindon Holliday in the second quarter. Irvin appeared to be knocked unconscious after striking Holliday’s left shoulder with the crown of his helmet. He fell to the grass on the Broncos sideline and his teammates waved over the team’s medical personnel. Irving, a second-year pro from North Carolina State, stayed down for several minutes before being helped to his feet. The Broncos said he wouldn’t return to the game.

Adrian Wilson, Knowshon Moreno headline late game NFL inactive lists (Shutdown Corner)

One of the longest active game streaks among NFL safeties will come to an end as the Arizona Cardinals will be without five-time Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson today against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wilson was “questionable” with ankle and groin injuries. Wilson, 32, has not missed a game since the 2008 season, a streak of 62 games that ranked among the five-longest among active NFL safeties. Incidentally, the Cardinals lost the game that Wilson missed by a score of 56-35. Another surprise is that Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno has been scratched. The former first-round pick fumbled in Monday night’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons and will be replaced by rookie Ronnie Hillman, who will make his NFL debut on Sunday. Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals Philadelphia : QB Trent Edwards, RB Dion Lewis, WR Jeremy Maclin, WR Riley Cooper, OT King Dunlap, OT Nate Menkin, DE Vinny Curry Arizona : QB John Skelton, RB William Powell, WR LaRon Byrd, TE Todd Heap, OT Pat McQuistan, G Senio Kelemete, S Adrian Wilson Atlanta Falcons at San Diego Chargers Atlanta : QB Dominique Davis, RB Antone Smith, OL Joe Hawley, OT Lamar Holmes, DE Jonathan Massaquoi, DE Cliff Matthews, CB Christopher Owens San Diego : RB Ronnie Brown, TE Ladarius Green, OT Jared Gaither, NT Antonio Garay, LB Jonas Mouton, CB Shareece Wright, S Brandon Taylor Houston Texans at Denver Broncos Houston : QB John Beck, WR DeVier Posey, OT Andrew Gardner, G Brandon Brooks, LB Tim Dobbins, CB Roc Carmichael, CB Brandon Harris
