The Denver Broncos are going to be without running back Ronnie Hillman for at least the next two weeks.

This injury to Hillman appears to be very bad news on the surface. However, Montee Ball is expected to return to action this weekend. In addition, C.J. Anderson should get his fair of touches and possibly the start against St. Louis in Week 11.

Anderson was impressive against Oakland in Week 10, racking up 90 yards rushing and 73 yards receiving. Even though you can’t put too much stock into a performance against the lowly Raiders, you can bet that the combination of Ball and Anderson will be enough to keep the Broncos’ ground game respectable. With Peyton Manning under center, that’s really all the team needs.
