In his first game back since missing seven games with a hamstring injury, Broncos kick and punt returner Omar Bolden tore the PCL in his knee and will miss the rest of the season.

Kubiak on @Os_Island: "Partial [PCL] tear, probably headed to IR. … We'll miss him."#BroncosCountryPlayoffs

Bolden suffered a non-contact injury on punt coverage shortly after he started the Broncos off with a 42-yard punt return in the first quarter.

Easily the Broncos best returner this season, Bolden averaged 22.8 yards per return on kickoffs and 24.6 YPR on punts, including an 83-yard touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts.

If the regular season is any indication, expect a mix of Jordan Norwood, Emmanuel Sanders and Andre Caldwell to handle the return duties in the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots.
