Very scary news for Denver Broncos safety Rahim Moore. Â He called the Broncos last night expressing that he was in severe pain. Â This morning, Moore had emergency surgery after being diagnosed with lateral compartment syndrome. Â The syndrome occurs when there is pressure in the muscles that restricts blood flow. Â The injury can be so severe, Moore could have lost half of his leg. Â Interim coach Jack Del Rio addressed the situation with the media earlier and said he had never dealt with a situation like this. Â He explained the condition as “he had a muscle bleeding”.
The injury occurred last night during the Broncos game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Â The Broncos won the game, but Moore was unable to play the entire game. Â Denver travels to Foxborough this weekend to play the New England Patriots. Â Moore will more than likely be unable to play this Sunday and it is unclear when he will be able to play again. Â The Broncos did state that putting the safety on injured reserve was a possibility. Â We are all more concerned and hoping that he makes a full recovery!
