MIKE BOONE NEWS

Limited role in return Boone rushed six times for 18 yards and secured his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Boone operated as Denver's No. 2 running back behind Latavius Murray, who handled 17 carries in the contest. In the backup role, Boone played just 12 of the Broncos' 53 offensive snaps. The veteran likely faces an uphill battle to fantasy relevance with Denver's continued ineffectiveness on offense. Boone's potential contributions as a pass catcher also seem to be in danger with Murray tied for the second-most targets in the Denver passing game Sunday. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old should remain in his role as a change-of-pace back when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 14, though he is extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

Activated off IR Boone (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Boone has been on injured reserve since Week 8, but the veteran almost immediately returns to a relevant fantasy spot with the likes of Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack shouldering the backfield burden at the moment. Boone easily profiles to be the best receiving back of the bunch, but it's unclear how much work that role might have in a Broncos offense that has ground itself to a halt over recent weeks.

Returns to practice Denver designated Boone (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Boone, who has resided on IR since Week 8, is now eligible to practice with the team and will have a 21-day period to be added to the active roster. He's totaled 21 touches for 143 yards across seven appearances this season, but when available, he could see an increased workload in Denver's new-look running back room, which currently features Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. Boone's status for Sunday's game in Baltimore remains unclear, but more information on his availability should surface later in the week.

Could return after Week 12 Boone (ankle) could return from injured reserve following Week 12, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Boone is eligible to return from IR in Week 13 after recovering from an ankle injury suffered in Week 8. The veteran would be welcomed into a running back room that looks a bit different after the Broncos' recent moves. Denver waived Melvin Gordon on Monday, and their recent trade acquisition Chase Edmonds is slated to miss time with a high right-ankle sprain. One would expect Boone to carve out a role in this backfield behind Latavius Murray, who projects to be the starter going forward. Teammates Marlon Mack and practice-squad member Devine Ozigbo also figure to handle carries. Boone becomes an interesting add for fantasy managers looking to add depth to their roster, especially with the 27-year-old's pass-catching ability needed for a Broncos team that struggles to push the ball down the field.

IR-bound after ankle injury Denver placed Boone (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Boone sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's loss versus the Jets, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four weeks as he recovers. The Broncos also signed Marlon Mack off of San Francisco's practice squad Monday, but Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray should continue to shoulder the bulk of Denver's carries for now.

Impact In anticipation of Boone's absence due to the ankle injury he sustained in the Broncos' Week 7 loss to the Jets, Denver signed Marlon Mack off the 49ers' practice squad to restore depth at running back behind Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray. Before exiting the contest, Boone carried four times for 23 yards across his nine snaps against the Jets. A follow-up X-ray cleared Boone of any structural damage to his ankle, but he could still miss multiple games on account of the injury. Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Boone has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.

Impact While early reports on Boone's ankle injury are encouraging, he'll undergo an MRI on Monday to help pinpoint his diagnosis. If he's forced to miss additional time, Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray should serve as the Broncos' top two running backs.

Leaves with injury Boone (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday against the Jets, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Boone had four carries for 23 yards before exiting with the injury. The veteran running back is currently in a true timeshare with Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray in the Broncos' backfield. While he is sidelined, Gordon and Murray will likely split the team's offensive snaps.

Limited role in loss Boone recorded one carry for one yard and caught one of four targets for three yards in Monday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Impact Boone operated as the Broncos' No. 2 running back in the contest, playing 21 of the team's 58 offensive snaps, behind Latavius Murray who played on 27 snaps. Fellow running back Melvin Gordon, however, played just nine snaps in the contest, raising questions about the backfield split going forward. Murray showed the most burst of the three on the ground, but Boone continued to be involved in the passing game. His four targets were the second-highest total of any Denver pass catcher. With that said, Boone will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes when the Broncos host the Jets in Week 7.

Turns in full practice Boone (foot) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Impact Meanwhile, Boone's main competition for reps out of the Denver backfield, Melvin Gordon (neck/ribs), remained a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row, though the Broncos haven't suggested Gordon is any danger of missing Monday's game against the Chargers. While Javonte Williams (knee) was out during last week's loss to the Colts for the first time since suffering his season-ending injury, Gordon led Denver running backs in snaps (39), touches (18) and yards from scrimmage (103), Boone wasn't too far behind him in all three categories (30, 10 and 85) and was more efficient overall. The Broncos are expected to incorporate Latavius Murray in their backfield rotation this week, but Boone played well enough against the Colts to at least maintain a complementary role.

Limited practice Thursday Boone (foot) was listed as limited at practice Thursday.

Impact The same goes for fellow running back Melvin Gordon (neck/ribs), with the Broncos having listed 18 players on their initial Week 6 injury report. Boone and Gordon now have two more chances to up their practice participation level in advance of Monday night's game against the Chargers, but assuming both are active for the contest, Boone will be in line to continue to handle his share of complementary work behind Gordon. In his team's Week 5 loss to the Colts, Boone carried seven times for 38 yards and caught all three of his targets for 47 yards.

Garners 87 total yards in loss Boone rushed seven times for 38 yards and secured all three targets for 47 yards during the Broncos' 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts on Thursday night.

Impact Boone served as the No. 2 running back behind Melvin Gordon as expected, and turned in an ideal complementary effort that allowed him to flash his impressive pass-catching skills. The 27-year-old should enjoy a similar role moving forward in the absence of Javonte Williams (IR-knee), although the presence of Latavius Murray as an early-down complement to Gordon could cap Boone's overall opportunity in the offense.
