Denver Broncos Tickets- Torain Gets Shot to Star

While the injuries to running backs Michael Pittman and Andre Hall are a big loss for the Denver Broncos, it also means that the Broncos get to see more of rookie running back Ryan Torain. Both Pittman and Hall were placed on injured reserve after week nine's game against the Miami Dolphins, in which the Dolphins won 26-17. Pittman was already coming off injuries to his back and his ribs from the New England game two weeks prior, and he injured his neck during the second half to take him out for the rest of the season. Hall injured his left hand not long after, leaving the Denver running back position incredibly shallow. Along with Torain, the Broncos have Selvin Young at running back, although Young has been out because of a groin injury. The injuries meant that the Broncos only had 14 yards of rushing offense, their lowest in 36 years. Love Torain and ready to see him play? Get your Bronco tickets for all the upcoming action!

Ryan Torain was selected in the fifth round of this year's draft from Arizona State. While at Arizona State, Torain averaged 93.8 rushing yards per game. He also tallied 1,229 season rushing yards in 2006. Torain has been out for the first few games of the season because of an injured elbow, which happened during training camp. The game against the Dolphins marked his NFL debut, and Torain had three attempts. He will be playing behind Young. Young has been with the Broncos since they signed him as a rookie free agent in 2007. Last season, Young played in all but one game and had 729 rushing yards. He hasn't played since the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during week five. As of week nine, he has 266 yards and one touchdown.

This year is Pittman's first year with the Broncos but his 11th year in the NFL. He played his first four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. From there he played the next six seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His best season so far was in 2004 when he tallied 926 yards rushing and seven touchdowns. That season he also had 391 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. Before being injured, he started three games this season, tallied 320 yards and four touchdowns. Hall started his NFL career on Denver's practice squad in 2006 after being waived by both Tampa Bay and the Chicago Bears. He spent his college career with South Florida, where he was the school's all-time leading rusher. Last season, he made the squad and ended up with 216 yards and two touchdowns. So far this season, he tallied 144 rushing yards.

The news could be a lot worse for the Broncos. Although they have struggled in recent weeks, their 4-4 record as of week nine still puts them on top of the AFC West division. Their division opponents they will be up against in the coming weeks are faring just as bad if not worse than the Broncos. With a few wins, they still have a good chance of taking the division.
