Broncos running back C.J. Anderson denied a report this morning that he is telling people his season is over. But he’s not denying that his season is over. He’s just saying he’s not sure yet.
Anderson clarified on Twitter this afternoon that he is having knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus and won’t know until after that surgery how much time he’s going to miss.
“We will not know til after the procedure if I am done for the season or if I can come back to help my team,” Anderson wrote. “I will grind and push to be the best always and be stronger than I was before.”
Anderson is the Broncos’ leading rusher with 110 carries for 437 yards and four touchdowns this season. While he’s out the Broncos will turn to rookie Devontae Booker as their starting running back. Kapri Bibbs will move up to No. 2 on the depth chart, and Juwan Thompson could be called up from the practice squad.
