Left guard Max Garcia showed up at the Denver Broncos' headquarters Friday with a sore left knee http://www.chargerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-russell-okung-jersey , something that initially seemed like a minor annoyance for a team preparing for two big offensive line changes already.With right guard Connor McGovern preparing for his first NFL start at center and Elijah Wilkinson set to make his first pro start at right guard, Garcia went for an MRI.The result was devastating: a torn anterior cruciate ligament.Garcia is the third starting offensive lineman the Broncos have lost this season, joining guard Ronald Leary (Achilles) and center Matt Paradis, who had surgery on his broken right leg earlier this week."It's been a tough year for us O-linemen," left tackle Garett Bolles said. "It's a shame to see three guys that are really close to me go down, but at the same time I know that we have guys behind them that have stepped up to the plate and are going to smack a home run."Garcia's injury further staggered a team that's trying to salvage a season featuring four one-score losses, including to the league's two 9-1 teams the Rams and Chiefs, by a combined seven points."It was really weird, I watched (Thursday's) practice from the last play back to the first play and he didn't miss a down," coach Vance Joseph said. "So, the play he was injured on, I saw it, it was kind of a slip. It was no big deal. He finished up practice."Joseph said Billy Turner http://www.chargerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-mike-pouncey-jersey , who started four games at right tackle when Jared Veldheer was out with a knee injury, will start at left guard Sunday when the Broncos (3-6) visit the Los Angeles Chargers (7-2).This will mark the Broncos' sixth different lineup on the O-line this season, but Joseph said it won't affect the game plan."I thought leaving camp that we had the best line that we've had around here in a while as far as depth and as far as guys who can play" multiple positions, Joseph said. "It happens. It's football. We've got Billy Turner playing the left guard with Eli playing the right guard along with Mac playing the center, so I'm comfortable. Let's go play."He said recently signed seven-year veteran center Gino Gradkowski will be active Sunday along with rookie swing guard Sam Jones."Ain't too many guys left ," he said.Through every combination the Broncos have run the ball with success as rookies Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman have rushed for 900 yards and seven touchdowns with veteran Devontae Booker adding 144 yards, a touchdown and a team-high 5.8-yard average.What they've had trouble doing is protecting quarterback Case Keenum, who has 11 touchdowns and 11 turnovers and has been sacked two dozen times.Still, offensive coordinator Billy Musgrave has been reluctant to reduce his use of three-receiver sets that put more pressure on the thinning O-line.The turnstile hasn't helped Bolles, a 2017 first-rounder, refine his raw game after playing just one season of major college football."It's been hard having different lineups. I've had five different lineups, so it's been frustrating," Bolles said. "But it doesn't matter who's next to me Brandon Mebane Jersey , they're going to make me better, I'm going to make them better and you've just got to roll with the punches and work out the kinks." The Los Angeles Chargers have proven during the first half of the season that they have plenty of weapons on offense. One who has emerged is Tyrell Williams, who has become a deep threat during the past month.Going into Sunday's game at Oakland, the fourth-year wide receiver has four touchdowns and is averaging 28.8 yards per catch over the past three games."He's become a complete receiver. His receiving skills, he's just taken them to another level," Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said.With Keenan Allen still drawing double teams, Williams continues to benefit from single coverage. Five of his receptions during the past three games have gone for 20 yards or more, including a 75-yarder against Tennessee on Oct. 21. He is tied for the team lead in receiving touchdowns (five), second in yardage (451) and third in receptions (22) during the first half of the season."I think it's really just been seeing what the defense does, when to take shots, being able to get over the top and trusting my ability to go up and get the ball or run past the defense," said Williams, whose 20.5 yards per reception average is third in the league.Philip Rivers also hasn't been afraid to go to Williams on consecutive plays if the matchup is favorable. Williams caught both passes on a two-play Casey Hayward Jersey , 89-yard drive midway through the second quarter of the Oct. 14 game at Cleveland, including a 45-yard touchdown where he got leverage over cornerback Damarious Randall.While Williams has made his biggest impact on downfield plays, he has also shown his improvement in other areas. Late in the first quarter of last Sunday's game at Seattle, Williams made a diving grab on a back shoulder fade for a 14-yard touchdown while being covered by Tre Flowers.Williams said catching back shoulder passes and route running were two things that he placed added emphasis on improving this past offseason."My first few years, I was always just looking to get the ball down the field. I wasn't really prepared for back-shoulders," he said. "It was kind of a timing thing and getting used to that, but now I've kind of figured out how to be running fast but still be prepared for that back-shoulder stuff."Los Angeles (6-2) has won five straight for the first time since 2014 and will face a Raiders defense that is 24th against the pass. Williams had three receptions for 66 yards in the first meeting on Oct. 14, which the Chargers won 26-10. One of the catches was for 48 yards."Hopefully that stays the same and they don't switch it up. It's nice to get single coverage and Keenan still being able to go for 100 like he did, to be firing on all cylinders," he said.Notes: Defensive end Joey Bosa did not do any team drills, meaning he's unlikely to play in his first game of the season this week. ... Lynn has left open the possibility that LB Kyzir White could return later in the season. White was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a knee injury.
