Cleared to play Sunday Lindsay (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Despite being listed as questionable heading into the weekend, Lindsay always seemed likely to be ready to go after he practiced fully Friday. With the Broncos officially clearing him to play, Lindsay should once again split work out of the backfield with Melvin Gordon. Lindsay has been the Broncos' more productive option on the ground this season (6.4 yards per carry on 45 totes), while Gordon has been the superior pass catcher (19 receptions on 26 targets).

Set to play Sunday Lindsay (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The 26-year-old received the questionable tag after putting in a limited practice Friday, but coach Vic Fangio has indicated all week he believes the running back will suit up in Atlanta. Assuming he plays Sunday, Lindsay is poised to continue splitting backfield work with Melvin Gordon.

Impact Lindsay was able to practice on a limited basis following an absence Wednesday, and the explosive running back looks like he'll be able to give it a go and split carries with Melvin Gordon on game day. Still, those counting on Lindsay in the fantasy realm should double-check his status before the 1:00 pm ET kickoff to ensure he's indeed playing.

Injury Report: Broncos estimate Phillip Lindsay, four other players would have missed Wednesday’s practice The Broncos also listed five players as limited participants.

NOVEMBER 4, 2020 • DENVERBRONCOS.COM

Misses practice to start week Lindsay was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report with a foot injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Lindsay, who exploded for 86 yards and a score on just seven touches during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers, looks to have picked up an injury along the way. The 26-year-old missed three games due to a toe issue earlier this season, so it's possible the foot injury is related. He'll have two more chances to practice before the Broncos decide whether to tag him with an injury designation for the Week 9 contest in Atlanta.

Finds pay dirt in comeback Lindsay ran for 83 yards and a touchdown on six carries and had a three-yard catch during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers.

Impact The Broncos offense was nothing short of abysmal before Lindsay broke free for a 55-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. It was his first score of the season. Melvin Gordon -- when in the lineup -- has gotten the lion's share of touches this season, but don't be surprised if the Broncos change it up. Lindsay is averaging 6.4 yards per carry this season and has averaged 89 total yards per game in the three games he's been able to finish. Next up is a tough Atlanta run defense.

Impact Lindsay was a full participant in Saturday's practice, but the running back must pass one final test as part of the concussion protocol to be eligible to play Sunday. The 26-year-old was dynamic in the first half of last week's loss to the Chiefs, piling together 79 yards on the ground across just nine carries before leaving with the aforementioned concussion. Should Lindsay be deemed active Sunday, expect him to once again split the load with Melvin Gordon.
