Royce Freeman’s durability as a college running back was never in doubt.
As a rookie in the NFL, it’s already been tested.
Oregon played 53 games between 2014-’17. Freeman appeared in 51. And, he never missed consecutive games in one season. It’s what made recent events so difficult for Freeman, who sustained an ankle injury in Denver’s Week 7 victory against Arizona and has missed the past two games.
“I try to miss as little time as possible, but things happen and I take it upon myself to get back as quickly as I can,” Freeman said.
