Decker likely suffered a sprain of his medial cruciate ligament (MCL) and not an ACL tear.
He will undergo an MRI on Monday in Denver.

I still don't think he's playing, and if he does he'll be limited
Doesn't matter - Tebow's best passes are deep passes against defenses that overreact to the run. If they keep a disciplined safety up high (even in a Cover 1), They'll fare better than the Steelers. And Eddie Royal is every bit as good as Decker, and DeMaryius Thomas is even better.
So... get well soon Decker. So sad to see Harrison try to injure him. I hope he didn't succeed -

No way this guy is playing Saturday night. Now Tebow really only has Demaryius Thomas as his lone trusted WR. Even Tebow has problems connecting with him. Thus, I really think if our DB's can play a clean and smart game we can easily handle Tebobow's passing. What we need to a do a better job of is making tackles and not letting them pick up those extra 3-5 yards of rushing like they did last time we faced them. -

In Response to Re: Eric Decker injury...:The issue is, BB knows this. He'll mask the gameplan. Tebow has no chance with that. Funny how the top notch Pitt D was shredded even with many Denver mistakes.

I am never surprised by Tim Tebow's inconsistency and he caught the Steelers napping when they least could afford a nap. -

agree on the tackling, totally diagree on demaryus, he could not have put the ball more prefectly to him several times. they also have a backup reciever who i spretty good 9good enough to burn us if we dont play well. -

agrreed.
i think they put it allon the line at the line and hoped their coners could cover 1 on 1 a lot. also safeties were fooled on some select well designed plays that had to be executed exactly and were by tebow.
