Broncos RB Juwan Thompson unable to practice on Friday

The former CSU Rams running back was signed to the active roster off the practice squad on Saturday morning, and the team released tight end Richard Gordon.

Kapri Bibbs runs through drills as the Denver Broncos prepare to face Detroit at Dove Valley on Monday, September 21, 2015.

Bibbs rushed 1,741 yards and 31 touchdowns in his one season at Colorado State University in 2013, before he was picked up as an undrafted free agent by Denver the following year.

If something were to happen to Anderson or Hillman, or they just need to try something different, it’ll be Bibbs’ name that gets called and I think fans are pretty excited about that.

Bibbs had spent the first five games on Denver’s practice squad, but with Juwan Thompson (hamstring) questionable for Sunday’s game Bibbs was needed to be the third running back. There is a good chance the Broncos will re-sign Gordon next week.

The Broncos are 30th in the league in rushing, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry.

“I was fourth string there and I kept grinding away and grinding away”. “This just reminds me a lot of that, you know, coming in fourth string and just grinding it out and grinding it out and grinding it out and once the opportunity comes just be ready for it”.
