For every NFL game, seven of the 53 players on the roster end up not dressing.

For the Broncos on Sunday, running back Ronnie Hillman will be one of the seven.

According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, Hillman’s habit of fumbling will get him deactivated against Washington. C.J. Anderson will get the nod instead.

Hillman had a critical fumble late in Sunday night’s loss to the Colts. It was only his second fumble of the season.

There’s a chance it could be his last. For reasons unrelated to his ability to avoid fumbling.
