ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Omar Bolden's season officially ended Tuesday when the Broncos placed him on injured reserve.
Bolden suffered what Head Coach Gary Kubiak said Monday was a partially torn knee ligament late in the first quarter. The injury came moments after he set up the Broncos' first points of the game with a 42-yard punt return up the left sideline.
The injury robs the Broncos of their leading punt and kickoff returner in the regular season. Injuries limited Bolden to just nine regular-season games, but he provided explosion on returns, averaging 22.
