Denver Broncos Pro Bowl running back Phillip Lindsay will need three to four months to recover from a wrist injury that will require surgery, coach Vance Joseph said Wednesday.
The 1,000-yard rookie rusher likely will be placed on injured reserve, Joseph said.
Lindsay left Monday night’s game against the Oakland Raiders with the wrist injury.
Fellow rookie Royce Freeman likely will get the start in Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers, while Devontae Booker should see action in longer-yardage situations, especially third down.
