Denver Broncos linebacker Elvis Dumervil has explained on Twitter that he will miss the entire 2010-2011 NFL season.
TO ALL MY FANS, THANKS FOR THE ALL THE SUPPORT & KIND WORDS BUT THIS SEASON FOR ME IS OVER DUE TO MY INJURY THAT OCCUR DURING TRAINING CAMP
THE BRONCOS HAVE A GREAT RECOVERY PLAN FOR ME TO BE BACK 100% & MORE! NOW ITS TIME TO ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT THE BRONCOS TO THE MAXIMUM!
Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post provides these details regarding Dumervil’s recent health.
Dumervil suffered a torn pectoral muscle during the first week of training camp and had surgery in early August. The team held out hope through the rest of the preseason that Dumervil would be able to recover in time for him to return for the final month of the season.
Dumervil joins Denver Broncos teammate LenDale White, who will also miss the season due to injury.
