  • Productive in Sunday's win

    Lindsay carried the ball 16 times for 82 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: He produced nearly identical volume numbers to Melvin Gordon, who gained 84 yards on 15 carries, but it was Gordon who scored the Broncos' only two TDs of the afternoon. The duo will likely have a much tougher time finding running room in Week 12 against a Saints defense that just held Todd Gurley to 29 scrimmage yards.

  • Gets just four touches

    Lindsay ran for two yards on four touches during Sunday's loss in Las Vegas.

    Analysis: The Broncos' inability or aversion to feeding Lindsay has been one of the more interesting developments of the 2020 season. The third-year back has garnered double-digit touches just once in six games this season. Even with back-to-back stinkers against Atlanta and Las Vegas, he's still averaging 5.5 yards per carry -- 1.3 more than Melvin Gordon -- albeit on about half the carries. The most likely culprit is Lindsay's deficiencies in the passing game. Lindsay has struggled both as a…read more

  • Inefficient outing against Falcons

    Lindsay registered 23 rushing yards on eight carries, failing to haul in any of his three targets during Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Lindsay may have been slowed slightly by a foot injury that kept him labeled as questionable entering the weekend, but the Falcons' performance against the run has been a strength of an otherwise inconsistent unit. Atlanta's No. 6 rush defense contained Lindsay to 2.9 yards per carry, with quarterback Drew Lock concluding the contest as the only Bronco to exceed 25 yards on the ground. Lindsay had been uber-efficient in 2020 coming into Sunday's contest, posting a 6.4 YPC average to boost an…read more

  • Cleared to play Sunday

    Lindsay (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Despite being listed as questionable heading into the weekend, Lindsay always seemed likely to be ready to go after he practiced fully Friday. With the Broncos officially clearing him to play, Lindsay should once again split work out of the backfield with Melvin Gordon. Lindsay has been the Broncos' more productive option on the ground this season (6.4 yards per carry on 45 totes), while Gordon has been the superior pass catcher (19 receptions on 26 targets).

  • Set to play Sunday

    Lindsay (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old received the questionable tag after putting in a limited practice Friday, but coach Vic Fangio has indicated all week he believes the running back will suit up in Atlanta. Assuming he plays Sunday, Lindsay is poised to continue splitting backfield work with Melvin Gordon.

  • Officially questionable

    Lindsay (foot) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but coach Vic Fangio reiterated Friday that he believes the running back will be able to play, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay was able to practice on a limited basis following an absence Wednesday, and the explosive running back looks like he'll be able to give it a go and split carries with Melvin Gordon on game day. Still, those counting on Lindsay in the fantasy realm should double check his status before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff to ensure he's active for the game.

  • Should play in Week 9, per Fangio

    Lindsay (foot) will practice in a limited fashion Thursday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Coach Vic Fangio noted Thursday that Lindsay should be available to play Sunday against the Falcons, but there's a decent chance that the running back will be officially listed as questionable for the contest come Friday.

  • Misses practice to start week

    Lindsay was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report with a foot injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay, who exploded for 86 yards and a score on just seven touches during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers, looks to have picked up an injury along the way. The 26-year-old missed three games due to a toe issue earlier this season, so it's possible the foot injury is related. He'll have two more chances to practice before the Broncos decide whether to tag him with an injury designation for the Week 9 contest in Atlanta.

  • Finds pay dirt in comeback

    Lindsay ran for 83 yards and a touchdown on six carries and had a three-yard catch during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: The Broncos offense was nothing short of abysmal before Lindsay broke free for a 55-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. It was his first score of the season. Melvin Gordon -- when in the lineup -- has gotten the lion's share of touches this season, but don't be surprised if the Broncos change it up. Lindsay is averaging 6.4 yards per carry this season and has averaged 89 total yards per game in the three games he's been able to finish. Next up is a tough Atlanta run defense.

  • Suits up Sunday

    Lindsay (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Lindsay, who was forced out of Denver's Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, will thus be in line split backfield work with Melvin Gordon, a context that doesn't guarantee Lindsay a great deal of volume, but it does put him on the Week 8 flex radar.

  • Expected to play Sunday

    Lindsay (concussion) is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: That's echoed by NFL Network's James Palmer, who relays that the running back is expected to clear concussion protocol and suit up Sunday. Confirmation of Lindsay's Week 8 status will arrive upon the release of Denver's inactives ahead of the team's 4:05 ET kickoff. If he does suit up versus the Chargers, Lindsay will be in line split backfield work with Melvin Gordon.

  • Expected to play barring setback

    Lindsay (concussion) is expected to play against the Chargers barring any early morning setbacks Sunday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay was a full participant in Saturday's practice, but the running back must pass one final test as part of the concussion protocol to be eligible to play Sunday. The 26-year-old was dynamic in the first half of last week's loss to the Chiefs, piling together 79 yards on the ground across just nine carries before leaving with the aforementioned concussion. Should Lindsay be deemed active Sunday, expect him to once again split the load with Melvin Gordon.

  • Listed as questionable for Week 8

    Lindsay (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Broncos didn't practice Friday due to COVID-19 precautions, but it's worth noting that Lindsay was limited to individual work Thursday. Legwold adds that the team is in line to practice Saturday, after which an update on Lindsay's status may be provided. If the running back doesn't gain clearance for Sunday's contest, Royce Freeman would be in line for added work behind starter Melvin Gordon.

  • Listed as limited Thursday

    Lindsay's status on Thursday's practice report has been upgraded to limited after he was able to participate in some individual drills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: While Lindsay still isn't in the clear for Sunday's game against the Chargers, he is moving the right direction as he progresses through the league's concussion protocol. What's he able to do at practice Friday will no doubt be pivotal with regard to his Week 8 status.

  • Still not practicing

    Lindsay (concussion) didn't practice Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Though he's officially logged back-to-back practice absences, Mike Klis of 9News Denver notes that Lindsay did non-contact individual drills Thursday, as he continues to ease his way through the NFL's concussion protocol. We'll revisit the running back's status Friday to see if he progresses to the point where he can practice, either fully or in a limited fashion.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Lindsay (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: With Lindsay in the NFL's concussion protocol and not yet able to practice, he'll need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday against the Chargers. In the event Lindsay is forced to miss his fourth game of the season, Royce Freeman would be in line for added work in Week 8 behind starter Melvin Gordon.

  • Concussion confirmed

    Lindsay won't return to Sunday's game versus the Chiefs due to a concussion, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay ran roughshod over the Kansas City defense in the first half, churning out 79 yards on nine carries. With Lindsay's immediate future now cloudy, Melvin Gordon is poised for a workhorse role, while Royce Freeman may make a temporary jump up the Broncos' running back depth chart.

  • Tops century mark as lead back

    Lindsay rushed 23 times for 101 yards but wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 18-12 win over New England.

    Analysis: Lindsay worked as the lead back in his return from a toe injury with Melvin Gordon sidelined by strep throat, and he responded with the sixth 100-yard rushing performance of his three-year NFL career. Royce Freeman mixed in with 30 scrimmage yards on eight carries and one reception, and Lindsay's lack of involvement in the passing game was disappointing. Still, Lindsay's rushing prowess should earn him a sizable share of Denver's backfield snaps moving forward, even if Gordon's able to return…read more

  • Starting on Sunday

    Lindsay will act as the primary back with Melvin Gordon (illness) ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay will slide into the starting role after the Broncos chose not to have Gordon fly with the team to New England. The fact Gordon was cited for a DUI and speeding charges earlier in the week also complicates matters, though the NFL has yet to issue any sort of punishment regarding the alleged incident. Lindsay has not played since Week 1 due to a toe injury, but he's been a capable starter each of the past two years, accumulating back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons.

  • May lead backfield Sunday

    Lindsay may be the Broncos' primary running back Sunday in New England due to uncertainty surrounding Melvin Gordon's (illness) health, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Gordon's illness isn't related to COVID-19, but coach Vic Fangio said, "They've totally diagnosed what it is, how to treat it and there is a possibility the treatment will be quick & effective. If it's not, then he won't play." The running back also has a recent citation for driving under the influence hanging over his head. If Gordon ends up being inactive, Lindsay's sole competition for RB reps will be Royce Freeman, unless the Broncos make a short-term addition to the active roster. On the…read more

  • Could start Week 6

    Lindsay could lead Denver's backfield Sunday against the Patriots if Melvin Gordon (personal) receives a suspension, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay hasn't taken the field since Week 1 due to a toe injury, but he's on track to make a return from a three-game absence this weekend. While the Broncos would ideally ease Lindsay back into action as part of a timeshare with Gordon, the latter's arrest late Tuesday on DUI and speeding charges complicates his Week 6 status. Regarding Gordon, who didn't practice Wednesday, the Broncos remain in discussion with the NFL about possible disciplinary responses, which could include a suspension.…read more

  • Denver-New England postponed again

    Lindsay and the Broncos won't play the Patriots on Monday after the game was postponed until Week 6 due to a third positive COVID-19 test in the New England organization within the past eight days, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Broncos and Patriots are now tentatively scheduled to play Sunday, Oct. 18 in Week 6, which was originally a scheduled bye week for New England. Denver, meanwhile, had been in line to host the Dolphins, but Miami now looks poised to take its bye Week 6. Had Monday's game been played as scheduled, Lindsay was in line to suit up after missing Denver's previous three games with a case of turf toe, but he'll now have to wait another week to return to action.

  • Will return to action Sunday

    Lindsay (toe) practiced fully Wednesday and is slated to play Sunday versus the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Lindsay was sidelined for the past three games, Melvin Gordon played well, recording 240 yards from scrimmage and three total touchdowns. According to Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, the Broncos plan to use both backs Sunday, including plays in which both Gordon and Lindsay are on the field at the same time. That may mean Lindsay will line up in the slot or out wide, as the Broncos are lacking receiver depth with both Courtland Sutton (torn ACL) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) sidelined. Regardless…read more

  • Should be back Week 5

    Coach Vic Fangio said Friday that he expects Lindsay (toe) to play in the Broncos' Week 5 game against the Patriots, Jon Heath of USA Today reports. "Phillip could've played [in Thursday's 37-28 win over the Jets]," Fangio said. "He was ready to play mentally and physically but I didn't feel comfortable playing him without any practice. He essentially hasn't practiced since sustaining the injury, and last week's practices were all walk-through type practices."

    Analysis: With the Broncos returning to action with a Sunday game during the upcoming week rather than having to play Thursday night, Lindsay should be able to go through a proper practice regimen. Assuming he experiences no setbacks with his sprained toe in those sessions, Lindsay will likely be cleared to make his first appearance since the Broncos' season opener. Expect him to immediately unseat Royce Freeman for top backup duties behind Melvin Gordon, with the Broncos perhaps even using the two backs…read more

  • Not suiting up Thursday

    Lindsay (toe) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Jets, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Currently dealing with a case of turf toe, Lindsay will miss his third consecutive contest as a result. In his absence, Melvin Gordon will lead the way out of Denver's backfield while Royce Freeman handles any RB reps that remain.

  • Looking unlikely for Thursday

    Lindsay (toe) appears unlikely to suit up Thursday against Denver, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: While the tide could always turn prior to the 8:20 p.m. EST kickoff, it's looking once again like Melvin Gordon will have the backfield largely to himself against a Jets team giving up the eighth-most points to opposing running backs in standard formats. Lindsay has definitely made progress this week and is even traveling with the team, but with upcoming games 10 days apart, it would likely make more sense to take a conservative approach that allows him additional time to recover.

    Lindsay (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Jets and is viewed as a game-day decision, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay has logged limited practices since this last Friday, but his lack of a full workout is apparently enough to keep his status muddled heading into Thursday. In the event that Broncos elect to hold Lindsay out for another game with an eye toward having him at or near 100 percent for the team's Oct. 11 game against the Patriots, Melvin Gordon would continue to log the bulk of the team's snaps and touches out of the backfield.

    Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Lindsay (toe) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: According to James Palmer of NFL Network, Fangio acknowledged earlier Tuesday that Lindsay was closing in on a return, so the running back's presence on the practice field seemingly supports that notion. Lindsay remains a candidate to return from a two-game absence to play Thursday versus the Jets, but the Broncos may want to see the 26-year-old put in a full workout Wednesday before clearing him to play. Whenever Lindsay is given the green light to suit up, he'll be a threat to poach snaps and…read more

  • Looks on track for Thursday

    Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Lindsay (toe) is "trending in the right direction" to suit up Thursday in New York, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay has missed back-to-back contests due to a toe injury, and Fangio confirms that he'll see a snap count even if he does manage to take the field versus the Jets. As such, Melvin Gordon looks to be in line to lead Denver's backfield once again Week 4, even if Lindsay does suit up. Gordon was held to 26 rushing yards on eight carries during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, though he also added four catches for 12 receiving yards.

  • Inactive in Week 3

    Lindsay (toe) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 tilt against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Lindsay had managed to work back to limited practice participation Friday, but he was still much more likely to sit than suit up Sunday. HIs absence has now come to pass, leaving Melvin Gordon, who toughed out 70 yards on 19 rushes against a tough Steelers defense Week 2, up against another formidable challenge in the form of a Buccaneers unit that's surrendered just 2.7 yards per carry to running backs the first two games.

    Lindsay (toe) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay was a limited participant in Friday's practice, his first activity in any capacity since injuring his toe during the season opener. The 26-year-old nonetheless is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, but he could have a shot at suiting up against the Jets in Week 4 during Thursday Night Football.

Whether it's enough to give him a shot to play Sunday against the Buccaneers should become more clear upon the release of the team's final Week 3 injury report later Friday.

    Analysis: Lindsay has yet to record any activity in practice since he exited the Broncos' Week 1 loss to the Titans due to a case of turf toe. Unless he unexpectedly gains clearance to log some on-field work at the Broncos' final Week 3 practice Friday, Lindsay will likely be inactive for a second straight game Sunday against the Buccaneers.

    Lindsay (toe) won't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay was projected to miss 2-to-4 weeks when he exited the Broncos' season-opening loss to the Titans due to a case of turf toe, so he's looking unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. As such, Melvin Gordon looks primed to see an uptick in snaps and touches for at least one more game, with Royce Freeman operating as his backup.

    Analysis: Denver already lists Lindsay as out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, but the team is also seemingly preparing him to sit again Week 3 versus Tampa Bay, and possible additional games after that. Before exiting in the second quarter with a case of turf toe in the Broncos' Week 1 loss to the Titans, Lindsay had out-carried Melvin Gordon by a 7-5 margin, but the injury should pave the way for Gordon to serve as Denver's clear lead back for at least the next two games.

    Coach Vic Fangio said in an appearance on KOA NewsRadio that Lindsay (toe) probably won't play Sunday at Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old was a non-participant at the first two practices of the week, and his outlook apparently hasn't improved much coming into Friday. Lindsay suffered the toe sprain during the season-opening loss to the Titans, and it appears he'll be forced to miss some time. Denver's official injury report will be released later in the day, which should shed further light on his status heading into the weekend.

    Analysis: Lindsay's sprained toe has now kept him sidelined for two practices in a row since he suffered the injury in the Broncos' Monday night loss to the Titans. Fangio labeled Lindsay day-to-day Wednesday, but the running back will likely need to get in some on-field work Friday during the Broncos' final practice session to have a realistic shot at playing in Pittsburgh this weekend. Royce Freeman would step in as the top backup to Melvin Gordon if Lindsay can't go.

  • Called day-to-day

    Coach Vic Fangio said that Lindsay (toe) won't practice Wednesday and is considered "day-to-day," Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay exited Monday's loss to the Titans with what was believed to be a mild case of turf toe, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests the injury could be something that sidelines the running back for "the next few weeks." In the event that Lindsay is forced to sit out Week 2 in Pittsburgh (or any additional games), Melvin Gordon would be locked in as Denver's clear top back, while Royce Freeman would serve as the top backup.

  • Could miss time

    Lindsay (toe) will receive a second opinion on his injury Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport notes that the running back's issue isn't considered a long-term concern, but Lindsay could end up missing the next few weeks while he deals with turf toe. If Lindsay does indeed miss time, added touches will be available for Melvin Gordon and, to a lesser degree, Royce Freeman.

  • MRI on tap

    Lindsay is slated to undergo an MRI on Tuesday after suffering from what the Broncos believe was a mild case of turf toe in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Titans, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: The MRI should provide more clarity on the nature of the injury, which Lindsay apparently picked up in the second quarter. Before departing, Lindsay carried seven times for 24 yards and hauled in his lone target for an 11-yard gain across 19 first-half snaps. If Lindsay's toe injury ends up sidelining him for the Broncos' Week 2 matchup with Pittsburgh, Melvin Gordon would likely take on a larger portion of the Broncos' backfield snaps, while Royce Freeman would serve as the top backup.

  • Dealing with turf toe

    Lindsay, who was forced out of Monday night's game against the Titans, is dealing with turf toe, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Schefter notes that the Broncos hope the running back's toe issue is "mild," but for now Lindsay's status for this Sunday's game against the Steelers is unclear. if he's out or limited in Week 2, added touches would be available for Melvin Gordon and, to a lesser degree, Royce Freeman.

  • Done for night

    Lindsay (foot) will not return to Monday's game versus the Titans, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay didn't take the field with the team to begin the second half and it appears that will remain the case. Look for Melvin Gordon to get plenty of reps out of the backfield in his absence, with Royce Freeman set to spell Gordon. The team should release more information on Lindsay's foot problem in the coming days, but it's a short turnaround for Week 2's game against the Steelers.

  • Questionable to return

    Lindsay is considered questionable to return Monday due to an ankle injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear exactly when Lindsay suffered the ankle issue, but the report surfaced after the Broncos emerged for the start of the second half. If he can't return, Melvin Gordon figures to handle the vast majority of snaps in the backfield.

  • Bulks up ahead of season

    Lindsay added 10 pounds of muscle to his frame during the offseason, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay faded down the stretch in 2019. After averaging 5.2 yards per carry during the first nine games of the season, he finished with 3.7 yards per tote over his last seven contests. Inexperienced quarterback play and injuries along the offensive line played their part, but the added weight should at least help make Lindsay more durable down the stretch. Lindsay is almost certainly going to see fewer touches in 2020 thanks to the addition of Melvin Gordon, but a bigger frame could help…read more

  • Preparing for camp

    Lindsay (wrist) says he is ready for training camp, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay had wrist surgery for a second straight offseason, but his rehab from the recent procedure has been much simpler than what he dealt with last year. He also mentioned he's up to 195 pounds, which is five pounds heavier than his listed weight and eight pounds heavier than his playing weight from last season. The soon-to-be 26-year-old believes he'll be a good fit with new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, though volume may be an issue after the Broncos signed Melvin Gordon.

  • Facing challenge from Gordon

    A Broncos executive said Lindsay (wrist) is expected to work in a "tag team" with Melvin Gordon, who agreed to a two-year, $16 million contract with the Broncos on Friday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Gordon has the higher profile as well as a better history of receiving and touchdown production, but Lindsay's career mark of 4.9 yards per carry puts him well ahead of his new teammate (4.0). To be fair, Gordon mostly ran behind lousy offensive lines throughout his five years with the Chargers, and his rushing average was perhaps dragged down a bit by the regular usage in goal-line/short-yardage situations. New offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur suggested in February that Lindsay would see a…read more

  • Headed for more receiving work?

    Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur believes Lindsay (wrist) will see more targets in 2020, Cecil Lammey of 104.3 The Fan reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay caught 35 passes in both 2018 and 2019, averaging 6.2 yards per catch and 4.6 per target while dropping 10 of his 95 targets. A severe wrist injury from late in his rookie campaign seemed to linger into 2019, with Lindsay dropping six balls and struggling in pass protection, though he did play all 16 games before having a second surgery on his wrist in January. The recovery process should be shorter this time around, and there's no question Lindsay has the speed and agility to thrive as…read more

  • Undergoes wrist procedure

    Lindsay recently underwent a cleanup procedure on his right wrist, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, the running back's recovery time is slated to be "minimal" and "should barely impact" his offseason training. Renck notes that Lindsay, who at times was in discomfort this past season, underwent an extensive procedure on his wrist last year and his latest procedure should take much less time to bounce back from. With that in mind, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic indicates that Lindsay is expected to be fine for the Broncos' OTAs.

  • Wraps up 2019 with 1,207 yards

    Lindsay ran for 1,011 yards and seven touchdowns on 224 carries during the 2019 season. He added 196 yards on 35 receptions.

    Analysis: Lindsay looked like a franchise cornerstone coming out of a surprise 2018 season, but he was unable to meet his 2018 output despite averaging more than a touch more per game. His 4.7 yards per touch in 2019 were a full yard less than 2018. The issue wasn't a lack of big plays, as Lindsay had eight plays of 20 or more yards in 2019, just one fewer than 2018. Instead, the issue appears to have been yards before contact. Lindsay averaged 3.1 yards before contact in 2018 as compared to 2.1 in 2019,…read more

  • Heads into offseason healthy

    Lindsay will look to improve his strength and proficiency in the passing game this offseason after he was limited by injury leading up to the 2019 campaign, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay injured his wrist late in his rookie season, and the lingering effects prevented him from doing upper-body work until right before training camp. The running back played every game in 2019 but seemed to slow down a bit, averaging a full yard per touch less in 2019 (4.7) as compared to 2018 (5.7). Improved health and an offensive line that should get high-priced right tackle Ja'Wuan James (knee) to play more than a few dozen snaps in 2020 should make a difference for Lindsay.

  • Tops 1,000 yards on year

    Lindsay ran for 53 yards on 18 carries during Sunday's 16-15 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Sunday's grinding performance put Lindsay at 1,011 rushing yards on the season, making him the first undrafted player to record back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons to start a career. The end result looks similar to his rookie campaign, but Lindsay's 4.5 yards per carry in 2019 was nearly a full yard less than his 2018 mark. He also had three 100-total-yard games in 2019 as compared to six in 2018 and scored three fewer touchdowns. A new scheme, a revolving door at quarterback and a makeshift right…read more

  • Breaks century mark, scores TD

    Lindsay ran for 109 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries and hauled in two of his three targets for nine receiving yards during Sunday's 27-17 win against the Lions.

    Analysis: The second-year back was held to a season-low 32 rushing yards last Sunday in a loss to Kansas City, but he bounced back against Detroit by recording his second 100-yard rushing performance of 2019. During Week 16, Lindsay tied his personal best by reaching 35 receptions on the season, and he currently sits just 42 yards away from kicking off his NFL career with back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing campaigns.

  • Has season-worst game

    Lindsay ran for 32 yards on seven carries and did not haul in either of his targets during Sunday's 23-3 loss in Kansas City.

    Analysis: Sunday's 32 yards were a season low for Lindsay. There appeared to have been some attempted trickery early with Lindsay taking a direct snap and briefly looking to pass before pulling the ball down for a modest gain. There wasn't much excitement after that for Lindsay or Denver's offense as a whole. Lindsay has been held under 70 total yards in four consecutive games, and it wouldn't be a surprise if Detroit makes it five on Sunday. The Lions have been vulnerable against the pass this season…read more

  • Finds end zone in high-scoring win

    Lindsay rushed 16 times for 51 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for four yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over Houston.

    Analysis: Lindsay's one-yard touchdown in the third quarter gave his team a 38-3 lead. He got 16 carries to Royce Freeman's eight, but the running game was surprisingly quiet for the Broncos in this one. Lindsay has eclipsed 50 rushing yards in 10 of his last 11 games, and he's added six touchdowns in that span, making the second-year running back a dependable option heading into a Week 15 matchup against the vulnerable Chiefs run defense.

  • Held in check vs. Chargers

    Lindsay carried 17 times for 58 yards and caught all three of his targets for an additional four yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Lindsay struggled to get things going on the ground as he finished averaging just 3.4 yards per attempt. He hauled in each of the passes Drew Lock sent his way but lost yardage on two of them and finished with underwhelming numbers in that phase. Lindsay more than doubled Royce Freeman's number of touches in this one, but he hasn't exceeded 75 scrimmage yards in the last three games and will look to do more with his usage next Sunday against the Texans.

  • Gains 68 yards

    Lindsay ran for 57 yards on 13 attempts and added an 11-yard catch during Sunday's 20-3 loss in Buffalo.

    Analysis: Lindsay was unable to shake loose against the Bills, but his 4.4 yards-per-carry average was all the more impressive considering the Denver pass offense did not pose a threat throughout the game. Lindsay is dangerous when he's able to get to the edge and slash through the line. That's becoming increasingly difficult as defenses have learned not to fear Brandon Allen's arm on dropbacks. A middle-of-the-road Chargers pass defense awaits Sunday, but Lindsay's value may ride on whether Allen is…read more

  • Good to go after full practice

    Lindsay (foot/wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's road game against the Bills after practicing fully Friday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: In this past Sunday's 27-23 loss to Minnesota, Lindsay out-snapped fellow running back Royce Freeman, 51-23, en route to logging 16 carries for 67 yards and catching both of his targets for eight yards. For his part, Freeman carried eight times for 31 yards and hauled in his lone target for 14 yards. Expect a similar timeshare (i.e. one tilted in Lindsay's favor) to be in effect this weekend against a Buffalo defense that has allowed an average of 106.3 rushing yards per game.

  • Still limited in practice

    Lindsay (foot/wrist) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay is apparently still a little banged up after handling one his larger snap shares (64 percent) in the Week 11 loss to the Vikings. The fact that he was able to fit in some on-field work in the Broncos' first two sessions of Week 12 suggests he's trending toward playing Sunday in Buffalo, but Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he carries a designation into that contest.

    Lindsay was limited at practice Wednesday due to foot and wrist injuries.

    Analysis: In the Broncos' Week 11 loss to the Vikings, Lindsay out-snapped Royce Freeman, 51-23, while rushing 16 times for 67 yards and catching both of his targets for eight yards. Meanwhile, Freeman ran eight times for 31 yards and caught his only target for 14 yards. Assuming his current aches and pains are nothing major, Lindsay should head the Broncos' backfield once again this Sunday in Buffalo.

  • Gains 75 yards in loss

    Lindsay ran for 67 yards on 16 carries and added eight yards on two catches during Sunday's 27-23 loss in Minnesota.

    Analysis: Lindsay, much like Denver as a whole, was able to gain some chunks early on, but fell out of rhythm late. The sophomore back hasn't drawn quite the praise he did last season and is averaging -- by his standards -- a modest 4.9 yards per carry this season, down from 5.4 yards per carry as a rookie. Still, an increase in usage has helped him top 75 total yards in five of his last six games and he's on pace to edge out last season's production both on the ground and through the air.

  • Expected to garner larger workload

    Lindsay is expected to take on a larger share of the backfield snaps and touches Sunday against the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Denver has deployed a fairly even distribution of the workload between Lindsay and Royce Freeman all season, with the former playing between 40 and 56 percent of the offensive snaps and topping out at 25 touches and the latter handling snap shares between 47 and 63 percent and maxing out at 19 touches. Freeman (4.0 yards per carry) has been far less efficient on the ground than Lindsay (4.9 YPC), which could provide an explanation behind the Broncos' supposed plan to feature the 25-year-old…read more

  • Seals win with TD

    Lindsay carried the ball nine times for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: He was far more productive than Royce Freeman (14 scrimmage yards on six touches) in this one, and Lindsay's 30-yard TD scamper in the third quarter gave the Broncos just enough cushion to hang on for the win. It's his best rushing performance since Week 5, but Lindsay's snap share will remain limited as long as the wrist injury he's been playing through restricts his ability to pass protect. He'll get a bye week to heal up before Denver heads to Minnesota in Week 11.
