David Bruton Jr. done for the season

Wallace left his feet as he approached the pile of players and dove, striking Bruton with the crown of his helmet.

This injury is particularly important for Denver considering Ward missed Sunday’s game with an ankle injury. Bruton had collided with teammate Aqib Talib on the play.

Wallace was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play.

Giants receiver Odell Beckham was suspended by the league for one game Monday, after he received three personal-foul penalties in a loss to the Panthers. “It happens in the game, granted, it’s still cheap and unacceptable… you can’t just be launching, especially when the guy’s been down for two seconds already”.

“If I put a guy’s life in danger by doing this”, Talib said, mimicking an eye-gouging gesture, “and it cost me $350,000, man, (Wallace’s hit) definitely put somebody’s life in danger”. “I thought it was a bruise”, he said (via ESPN). As a fourth-round draft pick by the team in 2009, he’s the longest-tenured Broncos player on the roster and had played more on defense this season than in any other with the team. We talked at length this week about how critical Bruton has been to this team, and how his absence affects not just the Broncos’ defensive rotation, but also the special teams. 3 safety somehow played through the ailment on Sunday.

The Broncos hope Ward, Stewart and Bolden can return for their next game Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals.

“You can’t do stuff like that out there”, Wallace said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Bruton, walking with the help of crutches Monday because of his injured leg, said the hit from Wallace felt, at the time, like the hardest he’s taken.
