DENVER -- The Denver Broncos have not played a game without Matt Paradis at center since the 2014 season, and now they might have to finish out whatever becomes of this season without him after he left Sunday's game against the Houston Texans with a lower leg injury.
The initial diagnosis by the team's medical staff is that Paradis likely suffered a fractured right fibula, sources confirmed to ESPN, but he will undergo additional examinations on Monday.
The news was first reported by KUSA-TV.
Paradis suffered the injury with just under a minute remaining in the first half when he was rolled up on an incomplete pass by quarterback Case Keenum.
