Broncos' Jonas Griffith: Out 4-to-6 weeks

Griffith (elbow) is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Griffith dislocated his elbow during Saturday's preseason opener against the Cowboys and will be sidelined for an extended period. It's possible he returns by Week 1, but Denver will likely need a contingency plan in case he doesn't return until the later end of the initial timetable. Griffith's absence is a big blow to Denver, as he has operated as the team's first-string inside linebacker during much of training camp.
