Knee problems could cut short Davis' career -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By John Clayton ESPN.com The future of Denver Broncos halfback Terrell Davis is in question as he awaits the result of a Sunday MRI on his left knee. Though the injury might end up being minor, it could have a major impact on how the team feels about Davis, who has played only 17 games in the past three years. Davis had his knee drained twice this week, but he was prepared to play Saturday night's game against the Bears. During warm-ups, the knee gave him problems and he had to be scratched. Davis was only expected to be on the field for about 15 plays. Despite having a good training camp, Davis and the team have worried about his knees and legs for a long time. He is the team's starting halfback as long as he can stay healthy. The problem is staying healthy. Earlier this year, Davis had arthroscopic surgery on the left knee to clean out loose debris and allow him time to prepare for camp. The right knee underwent reconstruction in 1999. The left knee has just been scoped. But with three other options at halfback available, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan might decide that losing Davis for a lengthy period could give the job to Orlandis Gary or rookie Clinton Portis. Mike Anderson, rookie of the year two years ago, could also be an option. He is currently at fullback. It's too early to tell if the Broncos would ask the 29-year-old Davis to retire if the MRI results are bad. Davis had his MRI in Denver, and the result won't be determined until Monday.

the seahawks will need to run the ball this year, or they're toast... holmgren is going to have to win in oakland on sep 8, or they're going to be in trouble.. our defensive line was pathetic in pass pressure, and the colts pressured the seahawks' qbs all night long... a couple of ironies were that hasselbeck threw an int on his 2nd pass, and all the while huard was on the other side of the ball... all holmgren has to do is win... but as it stands... i simply don't know.... i do know that i wish had brought in the tuna... but perhaps the apparent curse would withstand any coaching change.... as it is, holmgren is headed toward being no better than erickson after 4 seasons... and erickson's team was a lot more exciting to watch... still... if holmgren can simply win, there won't be any problem... he's got wideouts... that's for sure... he's got running backs and tight ends, but i don't know about qbs without dilfer, and the o-line is in a shambles right now... and again the d-line looks weak... there hasn't been a superlative d-line since knox...
