The Broncos are reportedly interested in bringing back the suit case stealer.
The Broncos are taking a look at Tatum Bell.
The former Broncos tailback who rushed for 921 yards in 2005 and 1,025 yards in 2006 will work out for the team this morning, according to several NFL sources.
Bell would make sense given team’s extraordinary injury predicament at tailback and his familiarity with the system.
At taiback, the Broncos have lost Michael Pittman, Andre Hall, and Ryan Torain to season-ending injuries and a fourth tailback, Selvin Young has been bothered the past month with a groin strain.
The Broncos selected Bell with their second-round pick in the 2004 draft. He averaged 5.3 yards a carry in his first two seasons, then reached the 1,000-yard threshold in his third. He was then traded to Detroit, along with right tackle George Foster, prior to last season in exchange for cornerback Dre’ Bly.Bell, 27, opened the 2008 preseason as the Lions’ No. 1 tailback, but he was released Sept. 2.
Not a bad idea. Bell was brutal in Detroit, but had success in Denver’s zone-blocking scheme. The Broncos have had major issues running the ball over the past couple weeks and maybe Bell could provide a spark. At 27 years old, he’s certainly worth a look.
