The Denver Broncos placed running back Chase Edmonds (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.
The designation means Edmonds will miss a minimum of four games. Latavius Murray will lead the Broncos' backfield in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers and Marlon Mack will be his top backup. Melvin Gordon cleared waivers and become a free agent Tuesday after being released by the Broncos a day prior.
Murray is the RB15 in numberFire's Week 12 rankings and our models project him for 19.1 touches and 89.2 yards. Mack is projected for 7.9 touches and 37.2 yards.
