Report: Broncos RB White out for year with torn Achilles tendon
ProFootballWeekly.com
The Broncos lost RB insurance behind starter Knowshon Moreno(notes) on Friday as LenDale White(notes) will miss the entire 2010 season with a torn Achilles tendon.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that White, who left Thursday's preseason finale after a nine-yard run with an injured ankle, tore his Achilles tendon. The Broncos signed White this summer after he was released by the Seahawks. Moreno just returned to practice at what he called "80 percent."
White had to sit out the first four games of 2010 as it was for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Now, the five-year veteran out of USC will miss the entire season. White's best year came in 2007 when he started all 16 games with the Titans and rushed for 1,110 yards with seven touchdowns.
White, a native of Denver, only ran for 222 yards and zero touchdowns last season with the Titans. Injuries to Moreno and RB Correll Buckhalter(notes) have hurt the Broncos' depth at that position; Buckhalter made his preseason debut Thursday night.
