ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos running backs Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter have both been injured on the Broncos' first day of training camp.






Moreno was carted off the field after hurting his right leg Sunday, and Buckhalter injured his left leg minutes later.
About an hour into the workout, Moreno caught a pass in 7-on-7 drills and turned upfield when his leg buckled. He grimaced as he hopped into the team's headquarters for tests.
Buckhalter hurt his leg about 10 minutes later during the same drill and limped off on his own.
The Broncos traded veteran running back J.J. Arrington to Philadelphia on the eve of camp. They had no immediate word on the extent or nature of the injuries to Moreno and Buckhalter.

Just to brush up on this, Was listening to NFL Blitz this morning on Sirius and they are saying its serious with Moreno, they are calling it a Hammy tear on a Tommie Harris level which means they'll be reaching out to Brian Westbrook real soon.

Broncos starting running back Knowshon Moreno is expected to be out three weeks after an MRI exam revealed no significant tear to his hamstring, according to an NFL source. Moreno suffered the injury Sunday morning during the Broncos’ first training-camp session.

A few minutes later, Broncos backup running back Correll Buckhalter left the field with an upper back pull. When Buckhalter experienced tingling in his extremities, he was sent to a local hospital as a precaution but was quickly released after his head, neck, back and spine were checked.

The expectation is the veteran Buckhalter will let the trauma rest for about a week.

All in all, it’s good news for the Broncos as both running backs should be back healthy well before the season opener Sept. 12 in Jacksonville.

I bet they wish they still had JJ Arrington as a camp body.
