Hillis Place On Injured Reserve

Peyton Hillis became Denver's fifth running back to be place on IR this season (Andre Hall, Michael Pittman, Anthony Aldrige, Ryan Torain). In addition, Selvin Young has been ineffective in the last two months due to an everlasting groin injury. The seventh running back on Denver's depth chart will be Tatum Bell, with PJ Pope probably stealing some carries in between Impact: Before being resigned by the Broncos a short time earlier, Tatum Bell was selling cell phones at a local mall. In short, this is probably not a guy you will want to pick up and utilize. With only three weeks left in the season, Bell should only be acquired as a last resort, and even then he should not be started. The Denver running back situation is already unpredictable enough...

Peyton Hillis Out With Hamstring Injury

Peyton Hillis left Sunday's game against the Chiefs with what is reported to be a hamstring injury. Prior to the injury, Hillis carried the ball 8 times for 58 yards and a score. As of now, his status for next week is still up in the air. Impact: Hillis has been a valuable asset to several teams over the closing weeks of the season. He has a fairly rough schedule ahead of him in the next three weeks, but he still remains a solid play pending his health. Keep an eye on Hillis as the week progresses, he has scored 5 TD' in his last four games and should continue the trend barring a setback on his hamstring.
