6 years agoDenver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain in the win over the Cardinals on Thursday night. Normally a multi-week injury, the Broncos are optimistic that Freeman may not miss any time. The Broncos have 10 days until they face the Chiefs in Week 8, so if Freeman heals quickly, he might not have to miss any games at all. Freeman has been impressive this year but has been thoroughly outplayed by fellow rookie Phillip Lindsay. The injury is concerning, especially since the Chiefs poor defense would present Freeman with a nice matchup. Keep track of his progress but don't bank on having him in Week 8. If he's forced to sit, Lindsay would be a very strong RB2.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
