May 28, 2015 – Ryan Clady tears ACL during OTAs

NFL: Denver Broncos-OTA

The Broncos would not learn for over four months just how hard it is to replace an All-Pro left tackle, which may be why they didn’t act with much urgency when Ryan Clady tore his left ACL during a team offseason team activities practice. Clady, the longest-tenured Broncos player, was placed on season-ending injured reserve the very next day. It was the second season-ending injury in three years for Clady, whose 2013 campaign was cut short because of a Lisfranc injury to his left foot. Denver replaced him, initially, with rookie tackle Ty Sambrailo of Colorado State, who would also suffer a season-ending injury later in the year.
