Anderson (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

The same applies to fellow RB Ronnie Hillman, with coach Gary Kubiak noting encouragingly Thursday that that both backs are candidates to return to practice Friday. "The expectations are for [Hillman] and C.J. to be full participants [Friday]. We'll see," Kubiak said, adding that if the duo does well Friday, they would both be in position to suit up Sunday against the Raiders. In the event that one or both are limited this weekend, however, Juwan Thompson would be next up for carries in the Denver backfield.
