  Patriots | Waive Greg Orton     Sun Jul 27, 09:09 AM

  Patriots | Greg Orton likely has torn Achilles'    Sat Jul 26, 04:32 PM

New England Patriots WR Greg Orton (Achilles') suffered an Achilles' injury Friday, July 25, that is believed to be a tear, according to a source. The injury would end his season.

Footballguys view: Bad news for the veteran here. He was a longshot to make the roster anyway, and now Orton will be out for the year and his career is likely over. Originally undrafted out of Purdue in 2009, Orton has bounced around the league--but has hung around in the NFL since then.

  Patriots | Greg Orton returning    Wed Jul 23, 04:34 PM

The New England Patriots re-signed free-agent WR Greg Orton to an undisclosed contract Wednesday, July 23.

Footballguys view: Orton has experience with the Patriots from last year. Orton is a good camp body, but he's unlikely to make the final roster. An undrafted free agent in 2009, Orton has no practice squad eligibility left.

  Broncos | Two receivers cut     Mon Aug 26, 02:28 AM

Denver Broncos WR's Greg Orton and Quincy McDuffie were waived/injured Sunday, Aug. 25, as the Broncos got a jump start on the first round of cuts by waiving 11 players. Orton spent the past two seasons on Denver's practice squad. He had a shot at making the roster when he sprained an ankle during the team's stadium scrimmage on Aug. 3 and never returned to action. McDuffie hoped to challenge for a spot as a returner, but he was hampered by a troublesome hamstring.

Footballguys view: Orton has improved his game since he came out of Purdue a few years ago. He's a better route runner now and has good concentration. There may be some team that brings him in for a tryout. McDuffie is explosive and gets upfield in a hurry. If healthy he could make for a decent return man and depth receiver.

  Broncos | Knowshon Moreno, others miss practice    Thu Aug 15, 05:12 PM

Denver Broncos RBs Knowshon Moreno (knee) and Jeremiah Johnson (knee), WRs Quincy McDuffie (hamstring), Greg Orton (ankle) and Lamaar Thomas (concussion), FS Quinton Carter (knee) and TE Joel Dreessen (knee) did not practice Thursday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: Moreno has a bruised right knee according to head coach John Fox. He's competing for a spot on the depth chart behind Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball. He's seen as veteran depth but his durability is a concern.

  Broncos | Two WRs sidelined    Wed Aug 7, 11:59 AM

Denver Broncos WRs Quincy McDuffie (hamstring) and Greg Orton (ankle) remained sidelined for practice Tuesday, Aug. 6.

Footballguys view: Orton did not appear in the top six WRs on the Broncos initial depth chart. He's been impressive in camp when healthy, catching most passes but has not caught all passes cleanly. McDuffie was a bit of a surprise as the team's WR6 on the first depth chart and has been impressive because of his speed, quickness, and acceleration.

  Broncos | Sign seven to practice squad    Sat Sep 1, 02:25 PM

The Denver Broncos signed DT Ben Garland, SS Duke Ihenacho, TE Cornelius Ingram, RB Jeremiah Johnson, WR Greg Orton, DT Sealver Siliga and OG Wayne Tribue to their practice squad.

Footballguys view: Johnson is the player to watch in deep dynasty leagues. He looked good in the preseason as a runner but did not catch as cleanly as the team would like. Johnson is a big play weapon with the agility to be a force in the open field.

  Broncos | 19 released    Fri Aug 31, 08:18 PM

Footballguys view: Knowshon Moreno beat out Jeremiah Johnson for a spot in the backfield. Gerell Robinson was trying to stick with his college quarterback Brock Osweiler, but he missed the cut.

  Broncos | Three remain on sidelines    Fri Aug 3, 10:06 PM

Denver Broncos WRs Tyler Grisham (knee) and Greg Orton were unable to practice Friday, Aug. 3. RB Ronnie Hillman (hamstring) was also missing from the session.

Footballguys view: Grisham and Orton will struggle to make the final roster, although Grisham has been impressive with his reps in training camp and could make the practice squad. Hillman is set to be the backup behind Willis McGahee, but is losing out on an opportunity to show his skills off. He's looked fantastic before this hamstring injury he suffered on a big run down the sideline.

  Broncos | Two signed    Wed Nov 30, 02:19 PM

The Denver Broncos signed free-agent CB Tony Carter (Vikings) and WR Greg Orton (Broncos) to their practice squad Wednesday, Nov. 30.

Footballguys view: Both Carter and Orton have been with the team before. Carter is an athletic and feisty Cornerback, while Orton is a big target who knows how to box out defenders with his frame.

  Broncos | Make roster moves to get to 53    Sat Sep 3, 02:29 PM

The Denver Broncos have waived QB Adam Weber, RBs Austin Sylvester and Jeremiah Johnson, WR Britt Davis, D'Andre Goodwin, Greg Orton and Eron Riley, TE Dan Gronkowski, OL Stanley Daniels, Adam Grant and Eric Olsen, DL Jeremy Beal, Ronnell Brown, Jeremy Jarmon and DeMario Pressley, LB Alvin Bowen, CB Brandon Bing and S Kyle McCarthy. The team also released WR David Anderson. RB Brandon Minor (undisclosed), WR Jamel Hamler (back) and CB Syd'Quan Thompson (Achilles') were placed on Injured Reserve, ending their 2011 seasons.

Footballguys view: A few surprises here. Many thought David Anderson would make the final roster but he was outplayed in the preseason by Eron Riley. Jeremiah Johnson looked good in training camp but was inconsistent in the team's preseason games. Jarmon was involved in the Jabar Gaffney trade but didn't impress enough to make the roster. Some of these guys will be brought back on the practice squad if they clear waivers.
