Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that running back Ronnie Hillman "has earned the right to get more carries," according to the Denver Post.
Kubiak did not that C.J. Anderson will remain the starter, but Hillman, who had 103 rushing yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Vikings, is slated for more early down work. Anderson has really struggled so far this season, failing to reach even 45 rushing yards in a game, giving Hillman a huge opportunity for playing time if he can keep breaking plays like the 72-yard touchdown he scored Sunday.
