Broncos outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil will have surgery Tuesday to repair a chest injury that will keep him out for most, or likely all, of the season if doctors find the damage that is expected. Broncos head team physician Ted Schlegel is scheduled to perform the surgery. Dumervil visited Dr. Michael Dillingham in San Francisco - he heads the medical team for both the San Francisco 49ers and San Francisco Giants - Friday to get a second opinion on the surgical diagnosis that was made by the Broncos' doctors. Dumervil then returned to Denver and the surgery was scheduled. The damage to the pectoral muscle will be examined in the surgery - it can be difficult to assess all of the damage in that muscle because of the size and thickness of the tissue even in an MRI - and the pectoral tendon will be re-attached.
