The Facts: Rookie running back Montee Ball is getting plenty of work with the first-string offense at Organized Team Activities. That’s because neither of last year’s top two running backs, Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno, are participating. McGahee is the only Bronco who has chosen not to attend the voluntary practices, while Moreno, who suffered a knee injury in the Broncos’ playoff loss to the Ravens, hasn’t been cleared for team drills.

Diehards Line: As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, the decision to draft Ball calls into question whether the Broncos plan to bring back both McGahee and Moreno. Denver is fairly deep at running back, with Ronnie Hillman, Lance Ball and Jacob Hester also on the team. But Chafie Fields, McGahee’s agent, told the Denver Post that McGahee’s absence from OTAs doesn’t indicate that he doesn’t plan to be a part of the Broncos when mandatory work begins. “He’s following the same routine he’s had his whole career,” Fields said. “He’ll be there. He’s ready to compete. No messages. ...” We'll see. There's still plenty of question whether McGahee and/or Moreno will be around come Week 1. We'll be watching for more.
