So I was a little disappointed I didn’t get to get out there with my teammates and practice against the Cowboys these past two days. That’s an experience you don’t get all the time. I did get the chance to grab a chair and sit outside the building near the sideline and watch the first day of practice, though. It was the first time I’ve seen another NFL team and it was pretty fun to watch.
I have to admit it was pretty cool seeing players like T.O. and Romo out there in person running around, running routes. But I’ve got to get used to it and not get star struck, because I know that this is that type of league where you’re going to see big names every week.
So I guess I’ll update you all on how everything’s been in the past week. A lot has happened. I had surgery on Friday, and I was laid up for a couple of days. Everything went really well. They got me into a little brace instead of a cast, which is nice.
When I first went to the hospital, it wasn’t nervewrecking or anything, I was just ready to get it over with. Going to the hospital is always an experience, though. A lot of people said, “Good luck.” I’m like, good luck? Why are you wishing me good luck? I’ll be fine, I’ll be back in a couple hours, I’m just going to get my arm fixed. It wasn’t too bad, I was just anxious to be done with it all. I didn’t even have my mom fly out. I told her to go ahead and relax and stay home. She was already buying tickets for the Houston game and everything, so I told her just to drive to the game and enjoy herself.
This week has just been about rest for me. Greek gave me some time off to heal up, relax, gather my thoughts and just get ready for some treatment. All of that will start next week. I’m not sure everything that’s going to go into it, but it will probably just be some rotation stuff — starting to bend it.
The doctors said they’re just going to keep working on my rotation. Basically I’m just going to get my strength up again, and in the mean time I’m going to start conditioning and stay in my playbook, so that by the time I’m 100 percent I can get back on that field right away and already be up to speed.
I’ve been checking out the comments on the blog, and I really appreciate all the support. I’ve been getting fan mail a little bit here and there as well, a lot of it my friends and family just wishing me the best. I don’t take any of it for granted. I’m just staying positive, staying focused and I know it will all work out.
To the fans: Don’t forget about me. I’m coming back 100 percent, and I’m going to do big things.
Check in with you next week.

Dude…. We will never forget about you. Cant wait to see you back on the field. We were pumped to see great things from you but I guess thats put on hold for a little bit. Take care and get well soon…West Coast
I can’t wait to see you back in the backfield, if your game is as good as your blocking then defenses beware. Once you went down there was many reports saying you may have likely been the starter, as well as the TD comparison your head coach pulled. I’d imagine that must have felt pretty good. Do you spend any time reading blogs others have written about you in camp? Thanx for the great posts!
I meant blogging not “blocking”
Hey, Ryan, we aren’t gonna forget you, man! Just get that elbow ready and get back on the field as soon as you can! Good luck. GO BRONCOS!
I see a future where it will be impossible for anyone to forget about you.
Hey, Like everyone else said its going to be hard to forget about our future T.D. Get that arm in shape and show all the other teams in the NFL what your about. Hey maybe even show the Cowboys that they should not mess with the Broncos. Good luck in rehab and cant wait to see you on the field soon.
Get well soon man. Can’t wait to see you back out on the field and definitely can’t wait to see what you can do. Best of luck.
Hey Ryan, thanks for the great update. I think you are showing a lot of courage taking this setback so well. Keep up the great work. We’ll be waiting for you to return to the field when you’re rehab is complete!
It must have been difficult to watch practice go on, but you’ll be out there soon enough showing them what you’re made of.
We’re all in your corner and rooting you on! Go Broncos!!!
Don’t worry, we won’t forget about you.

No, your talent and potential alone will keep you in the forefront of Broncos’ fans minds. Thanks for keeping up with the blog throughout your injury and rehab. Hoping for a quick recovery!!
Stay positive thru the healing and rehab process Ryan, you’ll heal faster ! I’m sure the Bronocs running back posse will be glad to see you healed up and back on the field. You’re an important part of that group and if history is is right, we will need all of you to get where we want to go . A very talented and exciting group of backs indeed!
Don’t rush it. Just make sure it’s healed right and let your day come to you. As fans, we appreciate your dedication. See you out there.
Just ascertain that you recuperate successfully. Then, at that point we’ll see how excellent you can really be.
From One Sundevil to another, heal quick! I was jazzed up when the broncos drafted you. Watching you at Frank Kush field was awesome. Can’t wait to see you at Invesco
WE WONT FORGET U EVA CUZ U R GREAT AND U WILL BE BAK. SEE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan, you are an inspiration dude. It seems like you have a lot going for you at an early age. As a lifetime Bronco fan, it is really refreshing to see a rookie come in with such a great attitude and love for the game. Your early dedication to this organization is something I would hope for in any Bronco. We have a great team, and I am super pumped to have a player of your ability and character representing my favorite team.
Rehab hard and come back soon. I look forward to your next update.
hey big dog dont get down and out u play for the broncos and we are the most loyal fans in all of professinal sports, we dont forget our players. coach shanahan compared you to Terrell Davis man, do you realixe what that means to us fans? jus get better and dont rush your rehab and youll be startin in no time
If you care to look at the Broncos forum, you’ll see that you may be the most hyped rookie in the Denver draft and everyone is excited about watching you play. Take care of the arm, do the rehab and do only the things they tell you so there isn’t an accidental set-back – the Broncos and the fans will be here when you’re back on the field. Hang tough.
As an ASU alum and now an ASU employee, let me tell you, we cant wait for you to get back on the field!
GO DEVILS! GO BRONCOS!
Get well soon, we will need you for the stretch/postseason!
Cant wait to see you on the field, get healed up and come back better than ever.
Keep up the positive mentality Ryan. You’ll be a star in Bronco Country before you know it.
Hey Ryan, Just wanted to wish you a speedy recovery. I’m here in AZ, and I was real excited when you went to Denver. I know you will do well in this system. You did well with ASU. Get back quick.
Good luck on your recovery, Ryan!
Can’t wait to see you back Ryan. Don’t worry we won’t forget about ya, a lot of us can’t wait to see what you can do
wishing ya well, beth
Ditto all that’s been said; can’t wait for you to get back on the field. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Heal up Train!
