Broncos lose J.D. Walton for season with broken ankle | ProFootballTalk

I think the fans should cheer when he comes onto the field...........

The Broncos posted an impressive win yesterday, but they lost center J.D. Walton for the season with a broken ankle, according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post.

The fourth-year center had only missed one snap in his career with the Broncos, prior to getting rolled up from behind in the 37-6 win against the Raiders.

With the Patriots up next on the schedule, the Broncos will turn to Dan Koppen to replace him in the middle.

Koppen was released by the Patriots after training camp, after starting 120 games for them over nine seasons.

Now he’ll go back in his old role, in his old home.

I'd definitely give Kops a big cheer t the intro. Wish him the best after the game.

 

[BigMike]

a big cheer and then let our D make him into a turnstile, like they did in training camp....

Koppen will most definitely get cheers from the crowd. They almost always do when they come back.

Welcome back Dan.

Nevertheless.

He is a Bronco now.

I hope the D-line tear him a new one.

Then shake his hand at the end of the game.

He couldn't move Kris Jenkins three years ago........good luck with Vince Sunday.

I bet he gets more press time this week than in a while being a center for both Brady and Manning. "So Dan who's hands feel better on your @ss, Brady or Manning?"
