Jordan Wilkins, Indianapolis Colts

Jordan Wilkins is a veteran runner and if nothing else, could help the Broncos get through the remainder of this season as Mack has had many injuries to deal with and Ozigbo is probably not much more than a practice squad guy.

He has spent several years with the Colts after being selected by them in the fifth round in 2018 and after short stints with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans, he was brought back to the Colts’ organization just a few weeks ago.

He is also currently on the practice squad and free for the taking. He is a tough runner with plenty of experience (over 200 career carries) and he is a capable receiver out of the backfield.

If the Broncos prefer to bring in a safe option just to fill out the roster rather than try and find a hidden future gem, Wilkins makes plenty of sense for the team.
