DENVER -- Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis, slowed by injuries all season, missed Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers because of soreness above his left ankle.

Already trying to come back from a season-ending knee injury in 1999, Davis missed five games because of a sprained ankle that also caused pain in his left foot. He said the latest injury is related to his earlier problems.

Davis' absence left Denver (6-4) without two of its leading offensive players. Quarterback Brian Griese is expected to miss at least three games because of a dislocated throwing shoulder.

Gus Frerotte replaced Griese in the starting lineup, and rookie Mike Anderson took over for Davis, who has run for 282 yards on 78 carries this season. Davis needs 94 yards for 7,000 in his career.
