Broncos RB Willis McGahee Placed On IR With Designated To Return Tag

According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, Broncos RB Willis McGahee has been placed on the injured/reserved list with the designated to return tag.

McGahee tore his MCL and broke his leg in the Broncos week 11 game and is currently expected to miss 6-8 weeks which would place his return sometime around the AFC Championship.

RB Ronnie Hillman has been praised by the Broncos coaching staff as of late so it’s possible he will get the bulk of the carries while McGahee is out.
