Hamler suffered a torn ACL in the Week 3 win over the New York Jets, about the only negative aspect of an otherwise dominant win. That injury will put the 22-year old wide receiver on the shelf for the rest of the year and will force him to undergo some tough rehabilitation.
Hamler may even be held out of preseason next year, meaning the first time we could see him in a Broncos uniform again would be next September. Though the team has bigger goals to accomplish this year, the NFL is a league in which you must always look ahead.
