The Broncos have lost OLB/DE Elvis Dumervil for at least the next four months due to a torn pectoral muscle.  Dumervil played in all 16 games for the Broncos last season and he finished up with 49 tackles, 17 sacks, 3 passes defensed, 4 forced fumbles and 1 fumble recovery.  In Dumervil’s 4 years in the NFL he has played in 61 games in which he has 129 tackles, 8 passes defensed, 43 sacks, 10 forced fumbles and 1 interception.  This is a huge blow to the Broncos’ defense as Dumervil is the one player on it that they can’t replace.

UPDATE:  (9/6/2010) – The Broncos have placed Elvis Dumervil on I.R. ending his 2010 season.
