On Sunday against Kansas City, Broncos inside linebacker Brandon Marshall re-aggravated a knee injury he said he originally sustained early in the season. Marshall left Sunday’s game briefly, but returned to finish. He said after that he was worried about it becoming a long-term issue.
“It keeps lingering around. It’s something I got to fix, since Game 3 or 4,” he said. “It’s a sprain. It’ll hurt, but then two plays I’ll be able to come back and I’m good I won’t even feel it.”
Marshall said it’s an “in the moment injury,” but he was didn’t want it to get worse and he didn’t want to miss time.
He led the Broncos with eight tackles Sunday.
Marshall has also been playing with two screws in his foot since he had Lisfranc surgery on his right foot. He also injured his finger in the Broncos’ last matchup against Kansas City, in Week 2, when he forced the fourth-quarter fumble by Jamaal Charles. Marshall said he’ll have surgery on the finger in the offseason.
