Broncos coach Vic Fangio expects running back Phillip Lindsay to return from his turf toe injury to play Oct. 11 at New England.
Lindsay has missed three consecutive games since being injured in Week 1 against Tennessee.
“Phillip could have played (in Thursday’s 37-28 win over the New York Jets),” Fangio said during a video conference Friday. “He was ready to play mentally and physically, but I didn’t feel comfortable playing him without any practice. He essentially hadn’t practiced since sustaining the injury. I didn’t think it would be the fair thing to play him.
