Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno Could Begin The Year On The PUP List

Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post believes Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno will not be “cleared to participate fully in training camp or even early in the season.” Legwold even mentions that there’s a chance that he could start the season on the PUP list which would force him to miss the first six weeks of the 2012 season.

Moreno, 24, is recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered last season. He was arrested back in February for a DUI so obviously the Broncos have to be concerned about him moving forward.

Legwold adds that the Broncos are still looking for depth at the running back position and sees them targeting someone in the draft. John Fox reportedly wants someone with “more muscle.”

Moreno still has time to turn things around and his skill set would be a great compliment to some of their power running backs but he needs to turn things around quick because he’s getting very close to being a bust.
