How is his chest?

From what I understand, Portis is less serious than Plummer, and Plummer isn't that serious... But that isn't fact, just impressions I've gotten from reading various sources.

Well, let's do this "the Gridiron" way... Here are the official reports on BOTH Jake's shoulder and Clinton's chest coming out of the LOCAL sources brought to you by "the Gridiron Newsstand":

Both Plummer and Portis will be on the practice field come Wednesday and be on the game field come Monday night!

Yup, as per the (revised) title of the thread, Jake will be OUT for the next three to five weeks with a broken bone in his foot. He sustained the injury during the Chiefs game, but played through the pain. When he continued to experience pain in his foot this week, X-rays were taken, which revealed a broken bone. Here is the local corroboration from "the Gridiron Newsstand":

This is a tough pill to swallow, both for the Broncos and their fans and fantasy footballers with Plummer. I fit into both categories.

How in the world do you re-injure your foot getting off the couch? I hate to say this, but I do think, with all the curse talk being thrown about with the Cubbies and Sox, that the Broncos are officially under the Curse of Elway (in addition to the SI cover jinx). Consider:
Bubby Brister - loses job in pre-season due to lack of brain
Terrell Davis - rips his knee after an interception is thrown (by Griese of course)
Shannon Sharpe - dives for a poorly thrown ball (by Griese) and lost for extended time, leaves Broncos, comes back and has elbow dislocated by Romanowski (former Bronco)
Brian Griese - Trips over dog, falls on T.D.'s driveway, gets several DUIs, released
Jake Plummer - hurts shoulder, appears on the cover of SI, falls off couch, now out 3 to 5 (keep in mind he has never missed this much time EVER as a pro).
Something is afoot (forgive the pun).

. Because they do have a backup quarterback that is pretty good and he I would assume always love to beat the raiders ( a few obvious reasons). 
With the trade deadline here & gone I finally decided to let Warner go.
