The Facts: Buckhalter has a high ankle sprain and he could miss a week or two. His chances of playing in a pivotal game against New England on Sunday could be in jeopardy.
Diehards Line:As ESPN's Bill Williamson notes, Denver would miss Buckhalter. He has 267 yards rushing and he is averaging an eye-popping 7.2 yards per carry. The free agent signing from Philadelphia has been a perfect fit for Josh McDaniels’ system. If Buckhalter is out Sunday, rookie Knowshon Moreno will likely carry a bigger load.
