The storm that’s coming to Cincinnati will include a quarterback who less than two weeks ago saw his finger become so badly dislocated that it ripped through his skin.
Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton will start against the Bengals, according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post.
Orton is wearing a glove to protect the stitches in his finger.
“He’s got a lot of respect from us, and a lot of credit for being able to play with stitches,” receiver Eddie Royal said, per Klis. “It’s a tough injury for a quarterback, but he’s a tough guy. You want a quarterback like that. I’m glad he’s on our team.”
Yeah, but stitches are nothing like playing with a partially torn biceps tendon, a partially torn rotator cuff, cracked ribs, sore ankles, swine flu, polio, and/or lupus.
