After injuring knee during Broncos Training Camp, inside linebacker Jonas Griffith goes on injured reserve
After injuring his knee during Broncos Training Camp, fourth-year inside linebacker Jonas Griffith was placed on injured reserve.
"He's going to go to (injured reserve) with an ACL injury," said Broncos head coach Sean Payton on Thursday. "It's unfortunate because he was one of those guys who was rehabbing, too. I saw him a lot and we're trying to keep his spirits up."
Griffith started 8 games for the Broncos last season.
A report on CBS Sports states the following about the injury: "It's naturally a blow to both the Indiana State product and the Broncos linebacker corps, considering Griffith was expected to fill a rotational depth role."
The Broncos signed inside linebacker Austin Ajiake after Griffith went down with the injury on Tuesday.
