Broncos' Griese falls, requires stitches

Posted: Tuesday May 07, 2002 1:57 PM

DENVER (AP) -- Denver Broncos quarterback Brian Griese was knocked unconscious and needed seven stitches above his right eye after he fell in the driveway at the home of teammate Terrell Davis.

Griese was running down the driveway Sunday night during a party when he stumbled, team spokesman Jim Saccomano said Tuesday.

Paramedics treated Griese and took him to Swedish Medical Center. He received the stitches above a blackened right eye and released. A chipped tooth was treated by a dentist Monday.

Griese was expected to be ready for the Broncos next mini-camp June 10-14.

On March 28, 2001, Griese pleaded guilty to driving while impaired and was placed on 12-months' probation. He failed a breathalyzer test after being stopped for speeding. He also was placed in the NFL substance abuse program, which requires him to submit to testing for two seasons.

Saccomano would not say if alcohol was involved Sunday.
