Broncos RB Willis McGahee Ready To Return?

Willis McGahee told the Denver Post that he plans on playing in Week 9’s game against the Oakland Raiders despite suffering a broken hand just a few weeks ago.

“It’s day by day, basically,” he said.

McGahee had surgery that place five pins into his broken hand to provide support so that it would heal properly so the fact that he considers himself day-to-day is pretty surprising. A broken hand will have an impact on all facets of McGahee’s hand as it’s guaranteed to effect his blocking, receiving, and his ability to grip the football. It’s a safer bet to assume that Knowshon Moreno and Lance Ball will share carries while McGahee heals.
