Broncos LB Danny Trevathan carted off the field at practice today

Injury news like this is relevant to the Patriots for obvious reasons, with the Broncos being their primary competition in the conference. Trevathan, selected in the 6th round of the 2012 draft, is a talented young player with the potential to become a centerpiece of the team's defense.

It was reported earlier this afternoon that he suffered a leg injury and had to be carted off the field, struggling to put weight on it. Last season, Trevathan started all 16 games, recording 129 tackles and 3 picks. The good news for Broncos nation is that it is being reported at this hour that initial testing does not reveal any significant damage. Stay tuned.
