NFL Denver Bronco center Tom Nalen had arthroscopic surgery
NFL Denver Bronco center Tom Nalen had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Friday and the Broncos expect him to be ready for training camp in July.
“Anybody having a scope should be able to play within two weeks,” coach Mike Shanahan said. “Where we’re at right now and the shape Tom is in, he should be full speed by the time we go to camp in July.”
The 14-year veteran has played in 194 games, including 188 starts. Only two Broncos have played in more: kicker Jason Elam, now with the Falcons, who played in 236 games, and retired quarterback John Elway, who played in 234.
The Broncos have a veteran backup in Casey Wiegmann, a 13-year pro signed in the off-season.
Rookie center Cory Lichtensteiger, a fourth-round draft pick out of Bowling Green, is recovering from surgery for a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
“Cory will not be able to practice until we go to our July camp,” Shanahan said. “He’s had some mental reps which is has been good.”
