Prater Suspended Four Games

The Broncos found out on Sunday that K Matt Prater will be suspended for the first four games of the season due to a violation of the NFL's Substance Abuse Policy. As a result, the Broncos traded a conditional 7th round pick to the Giants for K Brandon McManus. It looks like McManus will head into the season as the kicker until Prater comes back. It could be a very key storyline for the Broncos because their first four games are not easy at all. They host Indy, KC, at Seattle, and host Arizona. There is a good chance that those games could come down to a big kick and having a young kicker out there could be an ominous move.
