"Matt Leinart worked hard for a second chance to play quarterback in the NFL. He was 10-of-13 for 57 yards and a touchdown when he suffered a broken collarbone in the 20-13 victory at Jacksonville.

"It's just difficult," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He had been to the top of this league from the standpoint of draft status and opportunity (with Arizona). He'd been knocked down in this league. He had been told no. He was making his way back, and you've got to respect that as a person and as a player. He was playing well, and there was no doubt in my mind he was going to do good things with this team. We all hurt for him. He's a young man, 28, and we'll get him healed up, and don't be surprised to see him come back and get ready to do it again. He's made of the right stuff.""
