Broncos add White to injury-depleted backfield; Betts says no
NFL.com Wire Reports
LenDale White received another chance in the NFL, thanks to the Denver Broncos' banged-up backfield.
The Broncos signed White on Wednesday to provide depth at running back after Correll Buckhalter (back) and Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) were injured on the first day of training camp. Moreno is expected to miss the rest of camp, and Buckhalter should be out about one week.
Terms of the deal with White weren't disclosed.
The Broncos also offered a contract to free-agent running back Ladell Betts, but the former Washington Redskin turned them down, NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora reported, citing a league. Betts has visits with other teams, including the New Orleans Saints, scheduled this week.
In another surprising twist, the Broncos released Kolby Smith, the most experienced of their backup running backs, who have seen a heavy workload through the first four days of camp. Dnever has been so thin at running back that fullback Spencer Larsen saw some repetitions at the position in the morning session Wednesday. (continued at link)
