Orton officially ruled out Week 16
Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post reports that interim coach Eric Studesville has ruled Kyle Orton (ribs, arm) out for Week 16.
Our View: That didn’t take long. Orton missed his first game of the season last week, leading to rookie Tim Tebow’s debut as a starter. Tebow didn’t lead Denver to a win, but he provided a powerful spark for the offense early, ripping off a 40-yard TD run before pinpointing a 33-yard TD pass. He’ll get the nod against a porous Houston defense, and you could probably do a lot worse at QB2 if you’re the gambling type.
