PHILLIP LINDSAY
Doubtful for Week 3 Lindsay (toe) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Impact Lindsay was a limited participant in Friday's practice, his first activity in any capacity since injuring his toe during the season opener. The 26-year-old nonetheless is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, but he could have a shot at suiting up against the Jets in Week 4 during Thursday Night Football.

Takes the practice field Friday Lindsay (turf toe) was spotted at practice Friday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact We'll have to see how the Broncos classify Lindsay's participation level, but his presence on the field is definitely a step in the right direction. Whether it's enough to give him a shot to play Sunday against the Buccaneers should become more clear upon the release of the team's final Week 3 injury report later Friday.

Sitting out practice again Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Lindsay (toe) wouldn't practice Thursday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Impact Lindsay has yet to record any activity in practice since he exited the Broncos' Week 1 loss to the Titans due to a case of turf toe. Unless he unexpectedly gains clearance to log some on-field work at the Broncos' final Week 3 practice Friday, Lindsay will likely be inactive for a second straight game Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Injured Broncos QB Lock still active, can watch practice

Not practicing Wednesday Lindsay (toe) won't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Lindsay was projected to miss 2-to-4 weeks when he exited the Broncos' season-opening loss to the Titans due to a case of turf toe, so he's looking unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. As such, Melvin Gordon looks primed to see an uptick in snaps and touches for at least one more game, with Royce Freeman operating as his backup.

Facing 2-to-4-week absence The Broncos expect Lindsay to miss 2-to-4 weeks following the results of a second opinion on his sprained toe, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Denver already lists Lindsay as out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, but the team is also seemingly preparing him to sit again Week 3 versus Tampa Bay, and possible additional games after that. Before exiting in the second quarter with a case of turf toe in the Broncos' Week 1 loss to the Titans, Lindsay had out-carried Melvin Gordon by a 7-5 margin, but the injury should pave the way for Gordon to serve as Denver's clear lead back for at least the next two games. Gordon finished the Week 1 contest with 15 carries and three targets on a 63 percent snap share, while Royce Freeman (one carry, one target, 10 percent snap share) saw limited usage as a No. 2 option sans Lindsay.

Out this week Lindsay (toe) won't play Sunday against the Steelers, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
Impact With Lindsay sidelined this week, the stage is set for Melvin Gordon to be the Broncos' clear-cut top back Sunday, with Royce Freeman on hand to serve in a complementary/change-of-pace capacity.

Unlikely to play Week 2 Coach Vic Fangio said in an appearance on KOA NewsRadio that Lindsay (toe) probably won't play Sunday at Pittsburgh.
Impact The 26-year-old was a non-participant at the first two practices of the week, and his outlook apparently hasn't improved much coming into Friday. Lindsay suffered the toe sprain during the season-opening loss to the Titans, and it appears he'll be forced to miss some time. Denver's official injury report will be released later in the day, which should shed further light on his status heading into the weekend.

Idle for another practice Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Lindsay (toe) won't practice Thursday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Impact Lindsay's sprained toe has now kept him sidelined for two practices in a row since he suffered the injury in the Broncos' Monday night loss to the Titans. Fangio labeled Lindsay day-to-day Wednesday, but the running back will likely need to get in some on-field work Friday during the Broncos' final practice session to have a realistic shot at playing in Pittsburgh this weekend. Royce Freeman would step in as the top backup to Melvin Gordon if Lindsay can't go.

Called day-to-day Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Lindsay (toe) will not practice and is "day-to-day", Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Fangio also disclosed that Lindsay's status for Sunday's contest in Pittsburgh remains uncertain. The third-year pro suffered a 'mild' turf-toe injury during Monday's loss to the Titans, and while Ian Rapoport of NFL Network has suggested that it wouldn't be shocking for Lindsay to miss "the next few weeks," he still hasn't been officially ruled out for Week 2. In the event that Lindsay is forced to miss any time, Melvin Gordon would stand to handle increased touches while Royce Freeman works as his top backup.

Could miss time Lindsay is in the process of receiving a second opinion on his turf toe, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact While Rapoport notes that the running back's issue isn't considered long-term, he adds "don't be surprised to see (Lindsay) miss the next few weeks, just based on the nature of his injury and the position he plays." If Lindsay does indeed miss time, added touches will be available for Melvin Gordon and, to a lesser degree, his top backup Royce Freeman.

MRI on tap Lindsay is slated to undergo an MRI on Tuesday after suffering from what the Broncos believe was a mild case of turf toe in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Titans, Mike Klis of 9News De...
Impact The MRI should provide more clarity on the nature of the injury, which Lindsay apparently picked up in the second quarter. Before departing, Lindsay carried seven times for 24 yards and hauled in his lone target for an 11-yard gain across 19 first-half snaps. If Lindsay's toe injury ends up sidelining him for the Broncos' Week 2 matchup with Pittsburgh, Melvin Gordon would likely take on a larger portion of the Broncos' backfield snaps, while Royce Freeman would serve as the top backup.

Dealing with turf toe Lindsay, who was forced out of Monday night's game against the Titans, is dealing with turf toe, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Schefter notes that the Broncos hope the running back's toe issue is "mild," but for now Lindsay's status for this Sunday's game against the Steelers is unclear. if he's out or limited in Week 2, added touches would be available for Melvin Gordon and, to a lesser degree, Royce Freeman.
