ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said Wednesday running back C.J. Anderson will not return to practice this season.
Anderson, who went on injured reserve Oct. 29 after surgery to repair a damaged meniscus in his right knee, could have come off injured reserve at this point in the season if the Broncos believed he had recovered enough to potentially play in a game. By league rule, a player can return off injured reserve, but he has to miss at least six weeks of practice and has to be out at least eight weeks before he can return to play in a game.
