The Denver Broncos have lost linebacker Joe Mays for the remainder of the season. Mays fractured his left tibula just above his ankle in Sunday night’s win over New Orleans. The injury occurred when Mays was accidentally kicked in the leg while blocking on a punt return in the fourth quarter. Mays had lost his starting role at middle linebacker two weeks ago to veteran Keith Brooking and had been largely relegated to special teams duty. The Broncos have not decided what to do with the open roster spot.
