The Facts:
Torain could be out two to three months after suffering a fractured left elbow during the morning workout. Torain was carrying the ball in a nine-on-seven drill when he was tackled. As he fell, Torain stuck out his left hand to brace his fall and his elbow popped. He suffered fractured bone fragments in the elbow. He was to be taken for an MRI around noon.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While the Rocky Mountain News is offering of more optimistic timetable -- six to eight weeks -- it would appear to be safe to scratch him off your redraft board. ... As the Post noted, head coach Mike Shanahan said Torain had been developing to the point where he was competing with Selvin Young and Andre Hall for the No. 1 tailback spot. With Torain out, undrafted rookie Anthony Alridge moved up the depth chart behind Young and Hall while veteran Michael Pittman was shifted from fullback back to his natural tailback position.
