Weren't there some people saying we should have pursued him more?

Sorry, it makes you register if you click on the link. Here is the story:

DENVER - Broncos defensive lineman Courtney Brown dislocated his left elbow Thursday, a setback that is expected to keep him out three to six weeks and adds yet another to a long list of injuries that have hampered his career.

Brown was injured toward the end of a play during a practice that was moved indoors because of rain.

Coach Mike Shanahan said X-rays showed no breaks.

"He's done everything in the offseason to get himself ready, and his previous injuries are feeling great, so to have something like this happen to him I'm sure is disheartening," Shanahan said.

Brown, the first pick of the 2000 draft, has played only one full season since he entered the league. Last year, he missed 14 games with an injured foot. Other injuries have been to his elbow, biceps, neck, knee and ankle.

The Broncos signed him in the offseason, knowing he can still be a force if healthy.

"That guy is going to get a break, and he is going to be back," Broncos defensive coordinator Larry Coyer said. "I know it. That sucker is tough, and he'll be back. I promise you."
