  • Uncertain for OTAs

    Lindsay (wrist) is still sporting a hard cast on his right arm and declined to comment Wednesday regarding his potential availability for OTAs, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The rehab timeline was estimated at 3-to-4 months when the undrafted rookie sensation landed on injured reserve and had surgery after Week 16. His continued use of a hard cast doesn't mean he's behind schedule, but it suggests his weightlifting will be limited during the offseason. In any case, Lindsay should regain his health long before training camp, and perhaps even for OTAs or minicamp this spring. A wrist injury is far less concerning than any type of lower-body issue would be.

  • Bright spot in 2018 before injury

    Lindsay (wrist) finished his rookie campaign with 1,037 yards and nine touchdowns on 192 carries and another 241 yards and a touchdown on 35 catches over 15 appearances.

    Analysis: In a season with few bright spots for the Broncos, the rookie out of Colorado easily stole the show until a serious wrist injury that required surgery ended his season one game early. The first offensive undrafted rookie ever to be selected for a Pro Bowl, Lindsay finishedthird in the league in yards per carry (5.4) despite his average dropping considerably following Week 13. He should be the cornerstone of the Denver offense in 2019, with improvements in the passing game and the shakeup of the…read more

  • Lands on IR

    Lindsay (knee) has been placed on IR, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The move will allow the Broncos to fill Lindsay's roster spot in advance of Week 17 action. Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, the running back is slated to undergo surgery on his right wrist later Friday. Initial reports have estimated Lindsay likely will require 3-to-4 months of recovery time, a timetable that would allow him to approach training camp next summer in good health and back atop Denver's RB depth chart at that time.

  • Facing 3-to-4-month recovery

    Lindsay will likely require 3-to-4 months of recovery time upon undergoing right wrist surgery, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, coach Vance Joseph relayed Wednesday that Lindsay will "most likely" be placed on injured reserve so that the Broncos can add another player to their active roster in advance of a Week 17 matchup with the Chargers. With Lindsay out, the Broncos will rely on Royce Freeman to see most of the action on early downs, while Devontae Booker perhaps takes on an enhanced role as a change-of-pace option. The estimated timeline for Lindsay's recovery puts him on track to be healthy in time for…read more

  • Surgery on tap

    Coach Vance Joseph confirmed Wednesday that Lindsay will undergo surgery to address a "serious" wrist injury, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Both Troy Renck of Denver 7 News and Mike Klis of 9News Denver suggest that Lindsay is looking at a 4-to-6 month recovery period. While the injury is a tough ending to Lindsay's fine rookie campaign, such a timeline implies that he'll be healthy in advance of training camp this summer, at which point he'll look to reclaim his perch atop the Broncos' running back depth chart. To close out the 2018 season Sunday against the Chargers, Denver will rely on Royce Freeman to handle the bulk of the…read more

  • Could be limited in OTAs

    The right wrist injury that will force Lindsay to miss the Broncos' season finale Sunday against the Chargers involves torn ligaments around the scaphoid bone, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, surgery is a likely outcome for Lindsay, with Klis suggesting that any procedure would entail a 4-to-6 month recovery. Based on that estimate, it's possible Lindsay could be available for non-contact work during OTAs in the spring before returning at full strength when training camp opens. While the injury spells a disappointing end to his campaign, the undrafted rookie was an unexpected fantasy stalwart in 2018, logging 192 carries for 1,037 yards and nine rushing scores to go…read more

  • Done for season

    Lindsay underwent an MRI on Tuesday that revealed ligament damage in his right wrist, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports. He won't be available for the Broncos' Week 17 game against the Chargers and is unlikely to suit up for the Pro Bowl.

    Analysis: Lindsay was hopeful that he only suffered a sprained right wrist during Monday's 27-14 loss to the Raiders, but it's believed he's dealing with a scaphoid fracture based on the results of the initial MRI. He's set to receive a second opinion on the injury before potentially undergoing surgery to address the matter. It's a disappointing end to an otherwise magnificent campaign for Lindsay, who fell just 41 rushing yards shy of matching the NFL record for an undrafted rookie that was established…read more

  • MRI on tap

    Lindsay will undergo an MRI on his right wrist Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay exited Monday's game against the Raiders with what was originally deemed to be a right hand injury, but further examination apparently has resulted in the medical staff targeting his wrist instead. He ended the night with 46 yards on 10 carries and two receptions for 11 yards. Considering the Broncos don't have anything to play for Week 17 against the Chargers, it wouldn't be surprising if the team decides to sit Lindsay for precautionary reasons even if the MRI comes back favorable.…read more

  • Early exit in Oakland

    Lindsay will not return to Monday's game against the Raiders after suffering a right hand injury.

    Analysis: Lindsay was the Broncos' leading rusher with 46 yards when he exited the game in the fourth quarter. The 24-year-old also had two catches for 11 yards. Royce Freeman and Devontae Booker will be expected to fill the void left by Lindsay for the remainder of Monday's game.

  • Makes Pro Bowl squad

    Lindsay, along with teammate Von Miller, earned a Pro Bowl spot, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: With his selection, Lindsay becomes the first undrafted offensive rookie to earn a trip to the Pro Bowl. With 991 rushing yards through 14 games, the local product has shocked the league, and likely the Broncos -- who selected two backs in April's draft. However, he has struggled lately with opposing teams able to sell out against the run with no established targets left standing in Mile High. Still, it's a fair bet that Lindsay will cross the 1,000-yard mark for the season Sunday against…read more

  • Completely neutralized in loss

    Lindsay managed only 24 yards on 14 carries, adding four receptions for 20 yards during Saturday's 17-16 loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: After rattling off six consecutive performances of 60 or more rushing yards between Weeks 7 and 13, Lindsay has managed a meager 54 yards on 28 attempts over his past two outings. The undrafted rookie phenom averaged a jaw-dropping 6.1 yards per carry through his first 12 NFL games, but San Francisco and Cleveland have contained him to fewer than 2.0 YPC with one total touchdown (five scores in three games prior). He's bailed out fantasy owners somewhat with four receptions in back-to-back…read more

  • Tough sledding on ground

    Lindsay rushed 14 times for 30 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of seven targets for 21 yards in the Broncos' 20-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Outside of a nifty 3-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, Lindsay struggled to do anything on the ground against a stingy 49ers front. The rookie was coming off a pair of 100-yard efforts, so the decline in production was steep and sudden. Lindsay does have at least one rushing touchdown in four consecutive games, so he continues to reward fantasy owners even on days like Sunday when his overall yardage totals take a hit. Lindsay will look to get his numbers back up to their usual levels…read more

  • Sparks win with 159 total yards

    Lindsay rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries and added a 2-yard catch during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: A huge chunk of Lindsay's production came on a 65-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Lindsay turned the corner on a toss play, set up an Emmanuel Sanders crack block and then followed tackle Garett Bolles on his way to paydirt. Lindsay has been the Broncos' single best offensive weapon during their three-game winning streak following the bye. Granted, quarterback Case Keenum hasn't been lighting it up, but the Broncos have been better off running Lindsay than throwing it: Lindsay is…read more

  • Breaks century mark in Week 12 win

    Lindsay registered 110 rushing yards and a touchdown on 14 carries during Sunday's 24-17 win against the Steelers.

    Analysis: The rookie running back has come close on two occasions (90-plus rushing yards in Week 7 and Week 8), but Sunday's 110-yard outing against Pittsburgh was his first time breaking the century mark on the ground since picking up 107 against Oakland on Sept. 16. Lindsay offers minimal value as a pass catcher (2.2 catches and 17 receiving yards per game), but his otherworldly 5.8 yards per carry average and six rushing touchdowns have helped establish the undrafted phenom as a midrange RB2.

  • Scores twice in upset win

    Lindsay rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries and added four receptions for 27 yards on five targets Sunday in the Broncos' 23-22 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Immediately after punter Colby Waldman completed a 12-yard pass on a fake punt to keep a drive alive early in the second quarter, Lindsay helped the Broncos maintain momentum with a 41-yard touchdown jaunt. The rookie scored again in the fourth quarter to give Denver a short-lived lead, though he didn't see any touches on the team's final drive of the afternoon, which culminated in Brandon McManus' game-winning field goal. In any event, it was yet another efficient outing for the undrafted…read more

  • Not guaranteed lead role in Week 11

    Lindsay could cede more snaps and touches to Royce Freeman and/or Devontae Booker in Sunday's game against the Chargers after coach Vance Joseph said he would take a "hot hand" approach to the Denver backfield, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports. "I said this in training camp, the hot guy will play more reps probably," Joseph said Friday. "But we have a plan for all three of our [running backs].''

    Analysis: Though Joseph suggested a three-man committee remains in place, Freeman should be viewed as the more significant threat to Lindsay's workload than Booker. Lindsay handled his two largest carry counts of the season in the Broncos' last two games -- 18 in Week 8 against the Chiefs and 17 in Week 9 against the Texans -- which coincided with Freeman sitting out due to a high-ankle sprain. Now healthy coming out of the Broncos' Week 10 bye, Freeman -- who averaged 10.1 totes per game through the…read more

  • Contained to 3.5 yards per carry

    Lindsay rushed for 60 yards on 17 attempts, adding two receptions for 24 yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Houston.

    Analysis: The electrifying rookie running back was contained to a season-low 3.5 yards per carry average against the Texans, while establishing his lowest rushing total for a game with at least 12 attempts. Houston has been dominant against the run in 2018 (3.6 rush allowed per rush coming in), and Lindsay was no exception, picking up four or more yards on just five of 17 handoffs. Denver limps into a Week 10 bye as loser of six of its past seven, with a matchup against the Chargers' formidable front…read more

  • Expected to retain lead role

    Lindsay will likely serve as the Broncos' lead back Sunday against the Texans with Royce Freeman (ankle), who is listed as questionable, not expected to play, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Though Lindsay has been the more productive of the rookie backs, the two have essentially operated as co-starters at the position for much of the season, as Freeman has logged no fewer than 16 snaps in any of the seven games he's played. While Freeman was out in Week 8 against the Chiefs, Lindsay earned his biggest touch count (21) of the campaign, parlaying his 18 carries and three receptions into 112 total yards and a touchdown. Another elevated workload presumably awaits Lindsay in Week 9,…read more

  • Racks up 112 yards

    Lindsay rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries while adding 17 yards on three receptions during Sunday's 30-23 loss in Kansas City.

    Analysis: Lindsay put the Broncos up early, plowing ahead for a 1-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Sunday marked career highs in touches and total yardage for the rookie as Denver provided him with more than 15 touches for the first time since Week 1. Part of Sunday's usage can be explained by the absence of Royce Freeman (ankle), but -- as he is carrying the ball at 5.7 yards per clip -- Lindsay probably deserves more work normally. His impressive rookie season will come up against a wall next…read more

  • Slated to start Sunday

    Lindsay will start Sunday's game in Kansas City after Royce Freeman (ankle) was ruled out, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: There won't be many hurdles in Lindsay's pursuit of touches with fellow rookie running back Freeman on the inactive list this weekend. Sure, Devontae Booker will be available as a change-of-pace option, but Lindsay will handle the bulk of the runs between the tackles and in the red zone. Through the first seven games of his career, Lindsay ranks third in the NFL with 5.8 yards per carry and has scored three touchdowns on his 90 touches.

  • Long TD run in win

    Lindsay rushed 14 times for 90 yards and a touchdown while also securing his only target for six yards in the Broncos' 45-10 win over the Cardinals on Thursday. He also returned two kickoffs for 38 yards and ran back three punts for 23 yards.

    Analysis: Lindsay was once again clearly the Broncos' most effective rusher, and his 28-yard scoring scamper late in the third quarter served as his second touchdown of the season. The undrafted rookie has rushed for between 61 and 90 yards in three of the past four contests, and he's now averaged at 5.0 yards per carry or higher in five of seven games overall. Lindsay and Royce Freeman are still sharing carries almost evenly, however, although the workload could eventually tilt more in Lindsay's favor…read more

  • Totals 66 yards in loss

    Lindsay rushed four times for 18 yards and caught six of his seven targets for 48 more yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: The Broncos were completely stifled on the ground, gaining just 60 yards on the day, so they made up for it with dumpoff passes to Lindsay. As a result, the 24-year-old saw his fewest carries since Week 3 while getting a season-high seven looks through the air. The rookie has at least 66 total yards in all but one week this season, and he'll look to keep producing Thursday at Arizona.

  • Picks up 81 yards

    Lindsay rushed for 61 yards on 12 carries and added 20 yards on three catches during Sunday's 34-16 loss at the Jets.

    Analysis: Lindsay continues to be the biggest spark in this Denver offense, but he has yet to top 15 touches in a game since his Week 1 debut. Part of the issue Sunday was the team falling behind big just before halftime. Still, it appeared the Broncos abandoned the run with plenty of time to spare. Expect Denver to try to get back to the basics Sunday against the Rams as Lindsay's 5.8 yards-per-carry average is too good to keep on the shelf. The Rams offense can force Denver to pass more than it ought…read more

    Lindsay rushed 12 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Monday night's 27-23 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Lindsay made up for his early disqualification Week 3 by leading the Broncos in rushing yards and scoring his second touchdown of the season. While his slashing running style was again on display, Lindsay showed some power by reaching in a one-yard score during the third quarter. Facing one of the league's worst defenses thus far, both he and fellow rookie Royce Freeman -- whose eight rushes for 67 yards and a score were nearly identical -- were able to take advantage and will look to keep…read more

  • Punches his way out

    Lindsay carried the ball four times for 20 yards during Sunday's 27-14 loss in Baltimore before being ejected in the second quarter, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay got into a scrum at the bottom of a fumble pile and appeared to have taken some jabs at the Ravens. His ejection was a killer for Denver, which has leaned heavily on the rookie after his 213 total yards through the season's first two games. Don't expect the showing of immaturity to place Lindsay too firmly in the doghouse. The Broncos depend on the rookie, not only as a runner and pass-catcher, but as a returner on special teams.

  • Totals 111 yards in win

    Lindsay rushed 14 times for 107 yards and added four yards with his lone reception in Sunday's 20-19 win over Oakland.

    Analysis: Lindsay did not start but out-touched all other Bronco running backs, 15-11, on the day anyway. He broke a 53-yard run on the Broncos' first drive of the second quarter and began to dominate the backfield touches after that. The 24-year-old ceded goal-line work to Royce Freeman, however, and the latter took advantage by finding the end zone for a third-quarter score. The two should continue to share the load Week 3 at Baltimore.

  • Impressive debut

    Lindsay had 15 carries for 71 yards and caught two of three targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: Lindsay, an undrafted rookie from Colorado, had a nice preseason but most did not expect for him to see 17 touches in Week 1. Meanwhile, starter Royce Freeman also had 15 carries for 71 yards, but was not used at all in the passing game. Devontae Booker appears to be the odd man out, at least for the moment, getting just four touches for 15 yards Sunday. Freeman is the power back and Lindsay is a speedster so the Broncos might have their own version of "Thunder and Lightning."

  • On his way to roster spot

    Lindsay appears to have a roster spot locked up, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic Denver reports.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Colorado has made a strong impression throughout training camp and the preseason, even getting some run with the first-team offense in Friday's preseason game against Washington. He took advantage with five carries for 31 yards and one catch for 18 yards, in addition to contributing on special teams. The 185-pounder could push for a pass-catching role out of the backfield if Devontae Booker and Royce Freeman struggle in the passing game early in the season.

    Lindsay recorded two carries for seven yards and caught three passes on four targets for 40 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's preseason loss against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Lindsay, who went undrafted out of Colorado, displayed his versatility out of the backfield and also hit pay dirt on a 19-yard reception during the Broncos' preseason opener. The rookie running back also served as a gunner on special teams, and he now appears to be the favorite for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart ahead of David Williams.

    Analysis: While Lindsay is listed on the bottom of the running back depth chart, his spot as the team's top kick returner could give him an edge over David Williams, who is currently listed as the No. 4 running back, when it comes to final roster cuts given Lindsay's potential contribution on special teams.

  • Turning heads early

    Veteran linebacker Brandon Marshall was struck by Lindsay's "sauce" early in camp, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports

    Analysis: Lindsay wasn't even invited to the NFL Scouting Combine but had a prolific career at Colorado. The Broncos invested draft picks in a pair of big backs -- Royce Freeman and David Williams -- and also have Devontae Booker returning, but there are no set roles at the moment. Lindsay might not have the size to be an every-down back in the NFL, but his shiftiness and receiving ability could create matchup issues for linebackers in the passing game.
