| Player Notes |
| December 24, 2006 Tatum Bell was getting the bulk of carries early on Sunday but again fumbled the ball. After that, Mike Bell was the primary running back for the Broncos and Tatum was used sparingly. Tatum finished up with 12 carries for 50 yards, while Mike had 16 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown. So long as Tatum can't keep control of the ball, he's going to have a hard time staying on the field. |
| December 18, 2006 After Tatum Bell fumbled Sunday, he appeared tentative on the next play - gaining only one yard - so running backs coach Bobby Turner replaced him with Mike Bell, according to the Denver Post. Tatum finished with just 29 yards on 18 carries, while Mike had 61 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. "Yards were hard to come by for me," Tatum Bell said. "I know I messed up. Mike was hot - keep him in there. I'm cool. It was just like last year with me and Mike (Anderson). A guy gets hot, you go with him. I'm proud of Mike." |
| December 17, 2006 Tatum Bell struggled terribly against the Cardinals on Sunday. He rushed for just 29 yards on 18 carries. Meanwhile, Mike Bell carried 16 times for 61 yards and two touchdowns. Tatum also lost a fumble. |
| December 10, 2006 As expected, Tatum Bell is in the lineup and will start for the Broncos today. |
| December 8, 2006 Tatum Bell is not listed on the injury report this week, an encouraging sign as he's been battling turf toe problems on both feet for much of the season. Bell had 133 yards rushing on 23 carries last week against Seattle, though he did have to come out of the game a few times because he was winded. |
| December 3, 2006 Tatum Bell, who had missed three of the last four games, didn't appear to hindered by any turf toe issues on Sunday, as he scampered for 133 yards on 23 carries against Seattle - just 21 of the yards came in the second half. No one else on the team received more than four carries (Mike Bell) on the day. |
| December 1, 2006 Mike Shanahan is confident Tatum Bell will be able to play Sunday against Seattle, according to the Broncos official site. Bell has missed three of the last four games as he battles turf toe problems. "I think Tatum is fine," Shanahan said after Thursday's workout. "He is ready to go." Bell is officially listed as probable. |
| November 29, 2006 Tatum Bell, who has missed three of the last four games with turf toe injuries, is listed as probable on the injury report, according to the Broncos web site. Bell is expected to start this weekend, but considering he's missed games this year after being listed as probable, his status is still worth monitoring up until game time. |
| November 28, 2006 Tatum Bell is expected to practice fully this week, and assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, he's expected to start against the Seahawks in Week 13, according to the Denver Post. Bell, who has missed three of the last four games with turf toe injuries, has said that his foot problems are a thing of the past. "That's over," Bell said after the Broncos' workout. "I'm good, man. I'm back." |
| November 23, 2006 Tatum Bell is inactive for the Broncos today because of his turf toe. Cedric Cobbs is also inactive, so Mike Bell and Damien Nash will carry the load for Denver. |
| November 22, 2006 Tatum Bell was upgraded to probable on the injury report after practicing on Wednesday. It's highly unlikely that he's completely recovered from his turf toe, however, so at best he'll likely be sharing carries on Thursday. Mike Bell was also upgraded to probable. It's also worth noting that Bell has twice been deactivated this season after being listed as probable. |
| November 21, 2006 Tatum Bell is listed as questionable for Thursday with his turf toe injuries, according to the Sports Network. However, considering that Bell was listed as probable last week and still didn't play, it's tough to get a gauge on the likelihood of him returning to action this week. Bell has missed two of the last three games with his foot problems. |
| November 21, 2006 Coach Mike Shanahan said he won't know what the status of Tatum Bell will be until he sees him practice this week, according to Rocky Mountain News. "If Tatum's ready to go and he's full speed, he'll go," Shanahan said. "If he's hesitant and can't make the cut he's capable of making, we'll go another direction." Bell has been inactive two of the last three weeks with his turf toe injuries. |
| November 19, 2006 Tatum Bell is inactive for the Broncos tonight, according to the AP. Bell has been dealing with turf toe injuries on both feet but played last week. The Broncos are going with Mike Bell and Damien Nash at running back. |
| November 19, 2006 The Denver Post reports that Tatum Bell was incorrectly mentioned as having missed a portion of practice Thursday. "I don't know why it was denoted that way," coach Mike Shanahan said. "He took his normal reps and rotated. We've got four guys rotating, so a lot of guys getting reps." Bell is expected to play through his turf toe injuries this week, but it remains to be seen just how much work he'll get. |
| November 18, 2006 Tatum Bell was upgraded Saturday from questionable to probable for Sunday's game, according to the AP. Bell has been dealing with turf toe injuries on both feet. |
| November 17, 2006 Tatum Bell missed part of Thursday's practice and remains questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego, the Denver Post reports. He's battling turf toe injuries on both foot. "It's just going to be hurting," Bell said. "I'm not going to be able to heal until the season is over, so keep on playing and eventually I'll get better. I have to get back on the road eventually." Even though Bell is determined to play through the pain, he concedes the injuries have affected him. "I think I lost a step a little bit, but I'm getting better, like I say," Bell said. "Hopefully this week I'll be able to go out and make some plays." |
| November 16, 2006 Although the Broncos list Tatum Bell as questionable for Week 11, he is expected to play, according to the Denver Post. Bell is battling turf toe injuries but was able to play last week. |
| November 15, 2006 Tatum Bell is listed as questionable for Sunday because of his turf toes. Bell was probable last week before giving it a go on Sunday, though he later admitted that he was still hurting. |
| November 14, 2006 Coach Mike Shanahan admitted on Monday that the shouldn't have played Tatum Bell as much as he did against Oakland this past weekend, according to the Denver Post. Bell carries 14 times for 37 yards. After Sunday's game, Bell simply said, "I'm still hurting." Bell is dealing with turf toe injuries in both feet. |
| November 12, 2006 Tatum Bell returned from his turf toe injuries on Sunday but rushed for just 37 yards on 14 carries against a poor Oakland defense. The rest of the Denver runners didn't have any more success, but Bell still doesn't look right. |
| November 12, 2006 Tatum Bell is set to return to action today after missing last week's game due to turf toe injuries, according to the Denver Post. Bell is expected to start the game, and the Post reports that there's a chance that that tag-team partner Mike Bell may be replaced on today's active roster by Damien Nash, who was promoted from the practice squad yesterday, which would imply a heavy workload for Tatum. |
| November 10, 2006 Tatum Bell was upgraded to probable Friday and practiced with the club, according to the Broncos official site, though it's still not clear how Mike Shanahan will distribute the rushing workload for Sunday's game at Oakland. Bell is battling turf toe problems on both of his feet. |
| November 10, 2006 Tatum Bell practiced Thursday despite his turf toes and is expected to play Sunday at Oakland, the Denver Post reports. That established, Mike Shanahan hasn't said anything definitive about how he's going to handle his backfield, so Bell isn't guaranteed of anything even if he is in uniform. Bell did some work during practice last week but wound up scratched at Pittsburgh. |
| November 9, 2006 Tatum Bell, who is battling turf toe injuries in both feet, is questionable for this weekend, according to the Denver Post. It's worth noting that Bell was listed as probable last week before being inactive on Sunday. |
| November 6, 2006 Inactive for Sunday's contest due to turf-toe injuries, Tatum Bell is aiming to play in Week 10, according to the Denver Post. "I just want to take care of it so I don't keep re-aggravating it," Bell said. "I probably shouldn't have played last week, but it's all good. I'll be fine next week." |
| November 5, 2006 Tatum Bell was inactive for the Broncos on Sunday against the Steelers due to his tuf toe injuries. Mike Bell will get the start and carry the bulk of the workload. |
| November 4, 2006 Although Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said he was encouraged by the status of Tatum Bell's turf toe injuries, it's looking like Bell could play a reduced role on Sunday to help keep from aggravating the injuries, according to the Denver Post. It appears likely that Mike Bell will handle the bulk of work and Cedric Cobbs could get into the mix. |
| November 3, 2006 Tatum Bell downplayed the severity of his toe injuries Thursday, though it's still unclear how the Broncos will use their backs Sunday at Pittsburgh. "One's worse than the other one," Bell told the Rocky Mountain News. "As long as I don't reaggravate the one that's bad, I'll be all right." Bell is officially listed as probable on the injury report. While he was stumbling to 27 yards on 13 carries last week against the Colts - and unable to make decisive cuts - Mike Bell re-emerged with a 136-yard day (with a pair of touchdowns). All but one of Mike Bell's rushing yards came in the second half. |
| November 2, 2006 Tatum Bell, who is recovering from turf toe injuries on both feet, has said he is still sore, but he is hoping to play extensively on Sunday, according to the Denver Post. Regardless, Mike Bell should still get plenty of work this weekend. |
| October 31, 2006 Tatum Bell could be limited again this week because of the turf toe on his left foot, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "(Tatum Bell) is still pretty sore, similar to what it was last week," coach Mike Shanahan said. "We've just got to wait and see how he does." Bell carried the ball just 13 times in Week 8 because of the injury. |
| October 30, 2006 Tatum Bell spent much of the second half of Sunday's game on the sideline because of turf toe on both feet. This injury tends to linger, so there's a decent chance that Tatum might move back into a platoon with Mike Bell. |
| October 29, 2006 Tatum Bell saw limited action in the second half on Sunday and limped off the field on the rare occasions that he played. He gained only 27 yards on 13 carries while Mike Bell exploded for 136 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. It was not immediately clear if Tatum aggravated his turf toe or suffered another injury. |
| October 23, 2006 Tatum Bell left yesterday's game briefly with a turf toe injury, but he returned to finish the game, according to the Denver Post. Bell said he'll be fine for practice this week. He tallied 115 yards on 24 carries in the game. |
| September 27, 2006 Tatum Bell had a career-high 27 carries last Sunday because Mike Shanahan decided to abandon the platoon and make Bell the No. 1 back, according to the Denver Post. It remains to be seen if Bell can hold up while getting 20+ carries per game. |
| September 24, 2006 Tatum Bell got the majority of the work for the Broncos on Sunday, carrying 27 times for 123 yards. Mike Bell received just four carries. |
| September 10, 2006 Tatum Bell and Mike Bell alternated every series as the tailback for the Broncos in the season opener. Tatum had 103 yards on 15 carries but did not catch a pass and was shut out of the end zone. Mike had 58 yards and a TD on 10 carries and caught four passes for 30 yards. Tatum also lost a fumble. |
| August 30, 2006 The battle for the starting running back job with the Broncos remains up in the air, according to the Denver Post. Mike Bell still seems to have the inside track, but Tatum Bell, Cedric Cobbs and Ron Dayne all will get a chance to prove their worth during the preseason finale, albeit behind the second-string offensive line. |
