Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay said during a Zoom conference call with media members Tuesday that he has gained 10 pounds of muscle this offseason. Lindsay is currently listed as 190 pounds on the Broncos’ roster, putting him 17 pounds behind Melvin Gordon and 48 pounds behind Royce Freeman.
Lindsay suffered a wrist injury at the end of his rookie season and that injury limited his ability to put on weight before the 2019 season.
“That wrist injury really did a toll on me when it came to working out,” Lindsay said. “I came from having to sit out 4-5 months to just rushing right into camp. So I didn’t get the development that I did like this year.
“So I feel really good. I feel healthy, I feel explosive, and I feel like I’m going to have a hell of a season this year.”
Lindsay is the first undrafted player in NFL history to have back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons to begin his career. Lindsay is expected to share touches with Gordon this season.
