Broncos say Undrafted Rookie RB C. J. Anderson will be active Sunday, Hillman possibly not

[bayone]

The undrafted rookie running back from the University of California will be activated on the Broncos' 46-man game roster for the game Sunday against Mike Shanahan's Washington Redskins, according to multiple NFL sources.

 

Anderson at 5-foot-8, 224 pounds is the heaviest of the Broncos' running backs and may be able to help on those third-and-1 plays that Moreno failed to pick up twice last week at Indy.

 

Anderson had a terrific performance in the Broncos' preseason opener at San Francisco, rushing for 69 yards on 15 carries. But he suffered a sprained MCL knee injury a couple days later during a training-camp practice.

 

( ++ Note ++ that performance  was against 2nd & third stringers +++ but from denver article's  fan comments for weeks since cleared to play seems like team fans have been waiting to see if he can really play in NFL level games )

 

He was cleared to practice several weeks ago. ( ++ NOTE ++ Fox sad this week he hasn't had many reps when asked if he would be given a chance in light of Hillman"s and ball's fumbling issues )

 

Anderson is expected to take the game-day roster spot of Ronnie Hillman, who fumbled at Indianapolis' 2-yard line late in the fourth quarter last Sunday to kill the Broncos' chances of completing a comeback.
