Broncos' C.J. Anderson (knee, IR) is not likely to return this season

Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson (knee, injured reserve) is unlikely to return this season, head coach Gary Kubiak admitted Wednesday.

What It Means:

Kubiak expects Anderson to resume running in about two weeks. If he can avoid setbacks, Anderson should be fully recovered by February, putting him on track for the start of 2017 OTA's. Denver's running game has been a disaster in his absence as rookie Devontae Booker proving to be ill-equipped for the starting role.

Among the 64 running backs to tote the ball 50 times this year, Anderson ranks 36th in Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per attempt, while Booker is 55th.
