The Denver Broncos will be without center Matt Paradis for the rest of the season. The veteran center was carted off the field in Sunday’s loss to the Texans, and according to Ian Rapoport, Paradis will require surgery after breaking his fibula.

The recovery time for the injury is expected to be around three months, so Paradis will be placed on Injured Reserve. Prior to suffering the injury on Sunday, Paradis had never missed a snap in his his NFL career.
Without Paradis, the Broncos may consider signing a different center. Rookie Sam Jones is currently listed as the No. 2 behind Paradis.
