PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NFL : Elway to Have Further Tests

Tests of John Elway’s right shoulder, injured during Denver’s victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night, show no serious injury, although soreness makes him questionable for Sunday’s game against the Raiders, Coach Dan Reeves said.

With rookie Tommy Maddox from UCLA replacing Elway, the Broncos beat the New York Giants, 27-13. Reeves said he hopes to make a decision on who will start by Wednesday.

Team doctors said Elway has inflammation in and around the biceps tendon in his right shoulder. He is receiving icing and anti-inflammatory medicine.

Coach Ted Marchibroda said that Jeff George sustained a “slight” fracture in his right wrist that will keep him out of this week’s game at Pittsburgh. George said later the injury is in his right thumb.

Despite a rib injury, New York Giants quarterback Jeff Hostetler is listed as probable for Sunday’s game against Philadephia. . . . Strong safety Brett Maxie of the New Orleans Saints tore two ligaments in his left knee during Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers and is lost for the season. . . . Al Toon, wide receiver for the New York Jets who suffered a his fifth concussion during a loss at Denver on Nov. 8, met with team doctors and has more tests scheduled.
