Two Broncos will not be with team for the rest of season

The Denver Broncos starting left guard Russ Hochstein and returner Kenny McKinley were done for the season. After both suffered injuries in last week’s game at Philadelphia against the Eagles, they were placed on the injured reserve and will not be available in their team’s NFL jerseys for the season finale.

Broncos Coach Josh McDaniels announced Monday that Hochstein and McKinley will be placed on injured reserve. McKinley hurt his knee on a kickoff return in the first quarter, while Hochstein apparently injured his knee on a play in the second half.

Hochstein got his starting job on Nov. 15 as the team was trying to bolster a struggling offense before a game against the Washington Redskins. The previous starter Ben Hamliton who was supplanted by Hochstein, now have the chance to get his starting job back.

Another Browns player may end season and career because of concussion

As it has been reported that running back Jamal Lewis may start a new life away from football after being placed on injured reserve Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns safety Brodney Pool may also face the same future.

A starter at his position and a five-year veteran, Pool suffered at least his fourth known concussion during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was also placed on injured reserve. Having started 10 games this season and 49 in Browns jersey since the Browns selected him in the second round of the 2005 draft out of Oklahoma, Pool really needs to make a decision on his NFL career after sustaining so many concussions.

The Browns have already placed Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers and inside linebackers D'Qwell Jackson and Eric Barton on injured reserve. To lose both Lewis and Pool for the season just made the team’s future of this season even blacker.

49ers RT Pashos to be lost for the season with shoulder injury

The San Francisco 49ers unwillingly placed right tackle Tony Pashos on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday after he had an MRI exam on the left shoulder. A blade on the shoulder was broken and Pashos will not be able to use it in the remaining season.

The veteran offensive lineman in 49ers jersey was hurt during Sunday’s 24-21 loss at Houston. It was the first time he started at right tackle in place of Adam Snyder and Coach Mike Singletary had hoped to make him the regular right tackle so as to improve things on the line. And now the injuries just destroyed all the plans.

Although Singletary did not speculate in Monday to the media about how the line would look come Sunday if Pashos was out, it was most likely that he would move Snyder back to right tackle and keep Chilo Rachal at right guard.
