ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Defensive end Vance Walker was officially placed on injured reserve Friday morning, four days after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a nine-on-seven drill.
Walker, an eight-year veteran, had been on the first team throughout the offseason and training camp and had been projected to start after a stellar training camp to that point.
To fill Walker's spot on the roster, the team brought back TE Manasseh Garner, who was on the roster throughout the offseason but was waived on the first day of training camp.
