Patriots WR Greg Orton was carted off the practice field Friday with what appeared to be a "significant leg injury." | ||||||
Orton went down with a non-contact injury, suggesting a possible torn knee ligament. The 27-year-old was just re-signed to the 90-man roster this week. If the injury is as severe as initially thought, Orton's career may be at the end of the line. | ||||||

Patriots signed WR Greg Orton, C Braxton Cave, OT Jordan Devey, WR Reggie Dunn, OG R.J. Mattes, RB Sam McGuffie and LB Taylor Reed to reserve/future contracts. | ||||||
A fourth-year undrafted free agent, Orton made waves in the Broncos' offseason program last season, but went down on August 3 with a high-ankle sprain. He was waived/injured soon after. Already 27, 2014 figures to be Orton's last chance to crack a 53-man roster. | ||||||

A third-year undrafted free agent, Orton lit up the offseason program and the early days of camp, but suffered a high-ankle sprain on August 3, and never returned. He'll revert to injured reserve once he clears waivers. Orton should be back next summer to compete for the Broncos' final receiver spot, but he's running out of chances to crack a roster. | ||||||

| Sun Jun 16 2013 | 12:28 | Greg Orton impressive at Broncos OTAs | ||||
The Broncos' official website singled out WR Greg Orton as a player who "answered the call" in spring practices. | ||||||
"I really think that he's making big strides to really push that back end of the receiver group to who's going to be that last guy to make the team," said OC Adam Gase. Orton, already 26, has never appeared in an NFL game after toiling around in arena football and on practice squads for the last few years. He has good size (6-foot-3, 199), but his speed (4.69 forty in 2009) is suspect. | ||||||

Broncos signed WR Greg Orton and CB Mario Butler to reserve/future contracts. | ||||||
Both players finished the season on the practice squad. Butler appeared in one game with the Cowboys early in 2012, while Orton has never appeared in an NFL game since entering the league in 2009. They are 53-man roster long shots. | ||||||
