Mike Anderson

3/2/2006

Anderson was released by the Broncos in an effort for the team to get under the salary cap for the upcoming season. He was joined by tight end Jeb Putzier and Trevor Pryce as the three players released by the Broncos.

1/22/2006

Anderson rushed just nine times for 36 yards and one touchdown in the Broncos' 34-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC championship game Sunday.

1/15/2006

Anderson's 69 yards on 19 carries aren't especially impressive, but the Denver running back scored twice from one yard out in the Broncos' 27-13 win over the defending Super Bowl champs. Going back to the final two regular-season contests, Anderson has scored five touchdowns in the last three games -- all Denver victories.

1/11/2006

Anderson has had nearly three weeks to recover from the sprained ankle he suffered in a Week 16 win over the Oakland Raiders, and he plans to practice with the Broncos this week and be in the starting lineup for Saturday's playoff matchup with the New England Patriots. The running back, who did not play in Denver's regular-season finale, is not listed on the injury report.

12/27/2005

After spraining his ankle in Saturday's win over the Oakland Raiders, Anderson left the stadium on crutches, and he is not expected to practice with the Broncos this week, nor be ready for Saturday's meaningless regular-season finale against the San Diego Chargers. Tatum Bell is slated to get the starting nod and handle the majority of the carries for Denver.

11/21/2005

With fellow tailback Tatum Bell limited by a chest injury, Anderson handled the bulk of the rushing load for the Denver Broncos in Sunday's win over the New York Jets. The running back finished the contest with 113 yards and a season-high three touchdowns on 26 carries, while adding three catches for 16 yards. He has scored in five consecutive games.

10/31/2005

Anderson turned in his second consecutive 100-yard outing, picking up 126 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries in Sunday's 49-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The running back has found the end zone in three straight contests after scoring just once in the Broncos' first five games of the 2005 campaign.

10/24/2005

Tatum Bell made the most of his eight carries by picking up 60 yards in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants, but Anderson handled the bulk of the load for the Broncos, going for 120 yards and a touchdown on 24 rushes. It was Anderson's second 100-yard outing of the 2005 campaign.

10/12/2005

Anderson will remain the Broncos' starting tailback for the foreseeable future, but with Tatum Bell healthy and posting solid numbers as a change of pace back, he will be forced to split touches going forward. In addition, Ron Dayne could figure into the mix as well. Anderson got just 11 carries in last Sunday's win over the Washington Redskins after topping 20 rushes each of the Broncos' previous two games.

10/3/2005

Despite failing to score a touchdown, Anderson had his best game of the 2005 campaign, averaging five yards per carry in Sunday's 20-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Broncos' running back picked up 115 yards on 23 rushes, while also hauling in three passes for 27 yards.

9/27/2005

Anderson handled the bulk of the rushing load for the Broncos in Monday night's victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, further proving that he has nearly recovered from the rib injury he suffered in Week 1. The running back picked up 98 yards on 20 carries, including a 44-yard touchdown jaunt.

9/22/2005

Anderson has some lingering soreness in his ribs, but he was able to practice on Wednesday without any major problems. The Broncos have listed the running back as probable on this week's injury report and fully expect him to be in the starting lineup for Monday night's tussle with division rival Kansas City Chiefs.

9/19/2005

As anticipated, Anderson was in the Broncos' starting lineup for Sunday's meeting against the San Diego Chargers. The running back, who suffered separated rib cartilage in last weekend's season opener, saw limited action in the second half, however, primarily due to fatigue, according to head coach Mike Shanahan. Ron Dayne filled the void in the backfield when Anderson went to the bench.

9/16/2005

Anderson participated in practice today, and was able to run without pain. Barring a setback, Denver coach Mike Shanahan is expecting him to be available to start this Sunday against the San Diego Chargers.

9/14/2005

Anderson was able to practice with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday, but his availability for Sunday's matchup with the San Diego Chargers won't be known until at least Friday, according to head coach Mike Shanahan. The starting running back is trying to play through pain caused by separated cartilage in his ribs, an injury suffered early in last weekend's season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins. He'll be listed as questionable on this week's injury report.

9/12/2005

After undergoing more tests on Monday, Anderson has been diagnosed with separated cartilage in his ribs, an injury suffered early in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Broncos' starting running back, who had just five yards on four carries prior to his departure, will be re-evaluated later this week to determine his availability for next weekend's meeting with the San Diego Chargers.

9/11/2005

Anderson picked up just five yards on four carries before exiting Sunday's regular-season opener against the Miami Dolphins with a rib injury. The Broncos' starting running back reportedly could have returned to the contest, but was held out by head coach Mike Shanahan as a precautionary measure. He will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine his status.

8/29/2005

With his performance in Saturday's exhibition game against the Indianapolis Colts, Anderson all but solidified his job as the Denver Broncos' top tailback for the start of the 2005 regular season. He finished the game with 159 yards and two touchdowns on just 13 carries, including a 93-yard score in the first quarter.

8/9/2005

Although things are far from settled at this point, Anderson currently is listed at the top of the Broncos' depth chart at tailback. The 31-year-old bruiser reportedly has a slight lead over second-year back Tatum Bell in the early stages of training camp. Quentin Griffin, Ron Dayne and Maurice Clarett follow the top two in the competition.
