| Player Notes |
| December 22, 2004 The Broncos will start Reuben Droughns again Sunday, though Tatum Bell will share the workload, according to the Denver Post. Coach Mike Shanahan didn't say how the two backs would split the carries. |
| December 19, 2004 Tatum Bell was able to play through his shoulder injury on Sunday, and he took over as Denver's primary back on the second series of the game. Bell finished with 50 yards on nine carries in the blowout loss to the Chiefs. Bell also had a 58-yard reception, but he fumbled at the the end of the play. If the shoulder isn't an issue, Bell should be the primary runner for the Broncos for the rest of the season. |
| December 19, 2004 ESPN's Chris Mortenson reports that Tatum Bell is active for the Broncos today. However, Reuben Droughns will start, and Garrison Hearst is active - which could be a sign that the Broncos are not confident in Bell's ability to play. |
| December 19, 2004 Tatum Bell remains a game-time decision for Sunday, according to the Denver Post. The reserve running back is hoping to play through a separated shoulder he injured last week but should get a decent number of carries if he can play. |
| December 17, 2004 Although Tatum Bell was able to test his separated shoulder in practice yesterday, he didn't sound optimistic about playing on Sunday, according to the Denver Post. "If the game was (Thursday), I probably wouldn't play," said Bell. "The way it's looking right now, it's going to be a game-time decision." |
| December 16, 2004 The Broncos expect Tatum Bell to practice on Thursday, according to the Rocky Mountain News. He's listed as questionable for Sunday due to his separated shoulder. |
| December 14, 2004 Tatum Bell may be able to play this week against the Chiefs despite suffering a third-degree separation of his left shoulder on Sunday. It comes down to how much pain he can take according to coach Mike Shanahan and ESPNews. |
| December 13, 2004 Tatum Bell left yesterday's game with what was diagnosed as a third-degree separation of his left shoulder, according to the Rocky Mountain News. More should be known about the injury today, but it's entirely possible he could miss the remainder of the season. |
| December 12, 2004 Tatum Bell received a lot of playing time after Reuben Droughns fumbled twice in his first four carries on Sunday. Bell finished with 17 carries for 123 yards and two TDs, but left the game in the third quarter with a sprained shoulder. He did not return, and there is already concern that he may not be able to return before the end of the season. |
| December 7, 2004 Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said that rookie Tatum Bell will continue to get playing time as a change of pace to Reuben Droughns and to give Droughns some rest, according to the Denver Post. However, Shanahan said that he'd still like to get Droughns 20-25 carries per game. |
| December 6, 2004 Rookie Tatum Bell saw his most extensive action of the season Sunday, carrying the ball seven times for 31 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown, according to the Denver Post. Coach Mike Shanahan said he inserted Bell to provide a change of pace and to get starter Reuben Droughns some rest. |
| November 4, 2004 Tatum Bell did some limited work in practice yesterday, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "He took a few reps (Wednesday), but his hamstring is still a little bit tight ... ," coach Mike Shanahan said. "You don't want to push it too hard." |
| October 30, 2004 Tatum Bell didn't practice on Friday because of his hamstring injury and there's almost no chance that he'll play tomorrow, according to the Rocky Mountain News. |
| October 29, 2004 Tatum Bell again did not practice yesterday because of a sore hamstring that has left him listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, according to the Denver Post. |
| October 28, 2004 The Broncos list Tatum Bell as doubtful for Week 8 due to a hamstring injury, according to the Denver Post. He had been expected to see additional work this week as the primary backup to Reuben Droughns. |
| October 26, 2004 Tatum Bell has seen increased action the last two weeks, and he officially moves up to No. 2 on the depth chart now that Quentin Griffin is out for the season with a torn ACL. |
| September 26, 2004 Tatum Bell was inactive for Sunday's game because of a rib-cartilage injury, though he was probably well enough to play. Bell's chances of getting more playing time in the future actually improved because Quentin Griffin had an awful game and lost yet another fumble. |
| September 25, 2004 The Rocky Mountain News reports that Tatum Bell missed his second straight practice Friday with a rib-cartilage injury, though he remains listed as probable. |
| September 24, 2004 Still recovering from a finger and rib injury, Tatum Bell didn't practice yesterday, though he's listed as probable for Sunday's game, according to the Denver Post. |
| August 25, 2004 Broncos coach Mike Shanahan confirmed that Tatum Bell will take part in Friday's exhibition game, according to the Denver Post. He's been sidelined by a broken finger. |
| August 23, 2004 Tatum Bell had hoped to make his preseason debut Saturday, but the Broncos held him out to be safe, according to the Denver Post. He's recovering from a broken finger. "We wanted Tatum to get ready to play," coach Mike Shanahan said. "But to physically put him out there too soon would have been a mistake." |
| August 19, 2004 The Broncos expect Tatum Bell to make his exhibition debut on Saturday, barring a setback during practice this week, according to the Rocky Mountain News. He's coming back from a fractured finger. |
| August 18, 2004 The Denver Post reports that Tatum Bell hopes to take part in Saturday's exhibition game. He has missed the first two games with a fractured finger. |
| August 12, 2004 Tatum Bell practiced yesterday for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair a fractured finger, according to the Denver Post. He took part in only one drill and will not play in Sunday's exhibition game. "They're just trying to get my feet wet," Bell said. "They wanted me to come out and try to get some handoffs and do what I could do." |
| August 2, 2004 Tatum Bell required surgery to repair his broken right middle finger, according to the Denver Post. The Broncos won't know how long he will be sidelined until he is examined in a few days. This only will add more confusion to the fantasy value of the Denver running backs. |
| August 1, 2004 In his first day of practice since signing with the Broncos, rookie Tatum Bell got his right middle finger caught in a jersey and fractured the digit, according to the Denver Post. Coach Mike Shanahan called it "a pretty good-sized fracture." The Broncos won't know how long he'll be out until X-rays are further examined. |
| July 31, 2004 The Broncos locked up rookie Tatum Bell to a contract yesterday, though details were not announced, according to the Denver Post. He'll be competing with Garrison Hearst and Quentin Griffin to replace the departed Clinton Portis. |
| July 30, 2004 Rookie Tatum Bell is not helping his chances of winning the Broncos starting running back job by holding out of training camp, according to the Daily Camera. "I was annoyed the first day, but that's neither here nor there," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "He has just hurt himself, so hopefully it gets done." The Rocky Mountain News reports that Bell wants more money upfront than Dallas' Julius Jones is receiving. Jones was taken two spots later than Bell in April's draft. |
