Willis McGahee of Broncos on injured reserve - NFL.com

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox said earlier this week he didn't plan on placing running back Willis McGahee on injured reserve. Something changed in the meantime.

Fox Sports Insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer says the Broncos placed Willis McGahee on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season.

McGahee tore his right MCL and suffered a broken leg in the second quarter of Denver's 30-23 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. The Broncos will have to rely on rookie Ronnie Hillman, Lance Ball, and former first-round pick Knowshon Moreno for the rest of the season. Denver indicated an unwillingness to sign another running back this week, but this news could change the team's mindset.

A real shame. I never wish any season-ending injury on any player (except maybe Bernard Pollard ).

I might have a few other exceptions, but def wish McGahee the best of luck. Hopefully this doesn't end his career.

Returnable short-term IR. Not season ending. Will play against Pats in AFC championship.
