Broncos RBs are a cause for concern
Monday, August 9, 2010, 4:21pm

With three running backs, including the two at the top of the depth chart, not on the field Saturday night for the Broncos' practice in Invesco Field at Mile High, there has to be at least some concern at this point of what the Broncos rushing attack will look like when they open the regular season in Jacksonville.

Because at this point, all public pronouncements by the team aside, it sounds like it would be a surprise if Knowshon Moreno plays much, if at all, in the preseason because of a hamstring injury and Correll Buckhalter is headed to a specialist this week to look at his back/neck.

The team hasn't publicly discussed Buckhalter's injury, but put the words "neck" or "back" and "specialist" in the same sentence and over the years that has usually meant teams are looking at the discs in the spine to see if there are any that have become herniated or out of position that are pushing on nerves, etc ...

WR Devin Thomas didn’t get much separation on the handful of times I watched him today. It appears to be a trend at this point, and it doesn’t seem to matter if he’s going against CB DeAngelo Hall or CB Ramzee Robinson. It’s why he’s listed on the updated depth chart with the third team. Joey Galloway and Santana Moss are listed on the first team.

Percy Harvin still has not returned to the team after the death of his grandmother and the Vikings aren't sure when he will return.

Harvin left camp last Sunday and missed his 14th practice Monday morning. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said he isn't sure when Harvin will rejoin team.

"Percy is dealing with some personal issues," Bevell said.

Harvin went through three practices before leaving so it's unclear how long it will take him to get into football shape once he does return.

"I don't where he's at in terms of his conditioning," Bevell said. "We didn't have him out here that long anyway. But Percy takes really good care of his body. I know that he's a hard worker. We'll just have to see when he gets back."

Harvin also is believed to be dealing with another bout of migraines, which can be brought on by stress.

TE Kevin Boss , who was slow in his return from ankle surgery, is now battling a hamstring issue that resulted from his compensating for the ankle. Boss said he's a few days away from returning. The good news for the Giants was the return of TE Travis Beckum (hamstring) along with TE Jake Ballard (hamstring).
