Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson played against the Houston Texans with a pretty significant knee injury.
It was believed that he would be out until the playoffs if the Broncos would make it to the postseason.
However, it looks like the determined running back could return as early as Week 16.
According to Troy Renck of Denver 7, C.J. Anderson is ahead of schedule in his recovery process from a torn menicus in his knee.

The NFL IR rules state that a player placed on injured reserve must be on the list for eight weeks before he can be placed on the active roster.
