Denver Broncos running back Willis McGahee exited yesterday’s
win over the San Diego Chargers in the first half with a knee injury, reports
John Clayton of ESPN.
McGahee isn't coming back. Officially ruled out because of his knee injury.
— John Clayton (@ClaytonESPN) November 18, 2012
Following the game coach John Fox told reporters that
McGahee had experienced swelling in his knee. The 31-year-old will undergo an
MRI today to determine the extent of the injury.
McGahee has rushed for 676 yards with four touchdowns on 160
carries with 203 receiving yards on 25 receptions over 10 games this season.
McGahee was replaced by running back Ronnie Hillman, who
rushed for 43 yards on 12 carries and caught two passes for 16 yards. He would
get the start if McGahee is forced to miss the Broncos contest next weekend
against the Kansas City Chiefs.
