With fullback Andy Janovich finally having his club removed from his hand prior to last weekend’s game, there was a hope that he would be able to help jumpstart the Denver Broncos running game.

That hope was short lived.

According to head coach Gary Kubiak, Janovich injured his ankle on the first play of the game and played the rest of the night in pain.

With Janovich on IR, it’ll now be up to Juwan Thompson to fill the role of fullback.

To add to the pain, Trevor Siemian was in a walking boot today and is listed as day to day.
