Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is enjoying the spoils of his phenomenal rookie season even though the cast on his right wrist will keep him out of the Pro Bowl this weekend.Lindsay is serving as a social media correspondent for the NFL at the league’s annual all-star game in Orlando Justin Layne Jersey , Florida.At first, it appeared that hard luck would continue into the new year for the former University of Colorado star who was excluded from the combine, snubbed in the draft and injured in Week 16.The first undrafted rookie ever to earn a Pro Bowl selection, Lindsay really wanted to attend the Pro Bowl but because his injury would sideline him, the league couldn’t foot the bill and NFL rules also prevented the Broncos from picking up the tab.So, the NFL and the Broncos worked out a deal for the league to pick up Lindsay’s travel expenses in exchange for him posting videos and photos from the Pro Bowl on its social media pages.“They have a lot of different events for me to do, so there’s a lot of cool, unique things that are going to happen with me throughout the time in Florida, so stay tuned,” Lindsay said while attending the Panini Rookie Appreciation event in Los Angeles last week.That was another of the benefits Lindsay has enjoyed after proving the league’s talent evaluators and all 32 teams wrong for bypassing him last April.“It’s a surreal feeling to see yourself on a card,” Lindsay said after signing his autograph on thousands of them.Providing the Broncos with a rough-and-tumble identity and the league with one of its best feel-good stories of the season, Lindsay rushed for 1,037 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2018 after spending the first half of the season as a backup to Royce Freeman, a third-round draft pick out of Oregon.Lindsay became the first undrafted offensive player to earn a Pro Bowl selection and only the third undrafted running back to top 1,000 yards before his right wrist injury at Oakland on Christmas Eve left him 67 yards shy of the rookie rushing record set by Dominic Rhodes of the Indianapolis Colts in 2001.More importantly, it threatened to keep him from going to the Pro Bowl.Now, the league is paying for his travels and he gets to hang out with his fellow stars http://www.steelerscheapauthenticstore.com/benny-snell-jr.-jersey-cheap , including teammate Chris Harris Jr., another player who was unwanted but undaunted after going undrafted.“And on top of that, I get to experience it and have fun with Von Miller,” Lindsay said. “One day he’ll be a Hall of Famer. It’s a special moment for me and a special moment for my family.”While at the Panini America gathering with fellow star rookies, Lindsay said he ran into several NFL prospects as they prepared for the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.“Some of them have stopped me and asked about” making it in the NFL, Lindsay said. “The advice I give is different for different people but obviously this goes out for everybody is you’ve got to go out there and earn it. It comes down to heart.”While Lindsay was excited about his side gig, he wants to return to the Pro Bowl as a participant.He said his recovery is going well and that none of the tiny bones in his wrist were cracked, as first feared.“It looked bad. It looked like it should have been ligaments and bones. But it was just ligaments. So, they put them back together, reconstructed it and now it’s all about healing,” Lindsay said. “I have a cast on it, so nothing really hinders me from doing anything. I can run, I can work out. I just can’t use my right arm right now.“I don’t like giving timelines because everybody’s body’s different. But I’m working hard, and my goal is to be ready by the first day of camp.” ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Running back C.J. Anderson has signed with the Oakland Raiders and could be in their backfield for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Raiders coach Jon Gruden said that the move is insurance in case Doug Martin isn’t available. The Raiders primary running back since Marshawn Lynch went on injured reserve with a groin injury in mid-October, Martin is nursing a sore knee and his status is uncertain.“Although we think he’ll be ready to go we can’t take any precautions,” Gruden said Wednesday. “We have to be ready. We have four games left to play and the Steelers blitz almost every play Zach Gentry Jersey , so we needed a back. Fortunately for us C.J. Anderson was available and we’re happy to have him.”A Pro Bowl back with Denver in 2014 when he had nearly 1,200 all-purpose yards, Anderson was released by the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 12 and had tryouts with Kansas City and Detroit before signing a deal with the Raiders for the remainder of this season.“Just getting acclimated with the playbook as much as I can,” Anderson said. “The good thing is there’s a lot of crossover from what I’m used to doing, what I did with (Peyton Manning), what I’ve done with (Gary Kubiak) and just a little bit with Norv (Turner). The good thing is I know it’s a West Coast system. The terminology is different, so just heavily diving in the playbook.”Anderson’s signing came amid a flurry of moves made by the Raiders this week.Safety Reggie Nelson (shoulder), wide receiver Martavis Bryant (knee) and defensive end Shilique Calhoun (neck) were placed on injured reserve while defensive end Fadol Brown and offensive lineman Ian Silberman were released.Oakland signed cornerback Bene Benwikere, defensive end Kony Ealy, defensive end Damontre Moore and offensive lineman Denzelle Good.Additionally, the Raiders designated right tackle Donald Penn to return from injured reserve.“We had a busy couple days here,” Gruden said.Anderson’s signing was the most significant of Oakland’s transactions.The 27-year-old grew up in Vallejo, about 35 miles north of the Coliseum, and played in college at California in nearby Berkeley.Although he went undrafted, Anderson spent five seasons with the Broncos and rushed for a career-best 1,007 yards in 2017 before signing with the Panthers in the offseason. Anderson expected to split time with Christian McCaffrey, but had only 24 carries for 104 yards when Carolina let him go on Nov. 12.The situation might not be much different in Oakland Chris Lindstrom Jersey , although Martin’s health will be a big factor.The Raiders could also be looking at Anderson as a potential fit in 2019. Martin and Lynch are both scheduled to be free agents next season and there is no guarantee that either will be back in Oakland.“My resume speaks for myself,” Anderson said. “If I would have sat out for the rest of this season, with other people setting the market as well, I would have found a job. It’s all about timing.”Anderson has had several big moments in his career.During his Pro Bowl season in 2014, Anderson had a pair of big games against the Raiders. He ran for 90 yards and had another 73 yards in receptions on Nov. 9, then rushed for 87 yards and three touchdowns two months later.Anderson helped Denver to a 24-10 win over Carolina in Super Bowl 50 when he rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown.Gruden said there are similarities between Anderson and Martin.“They’re both hard between-the-tackles runners, they can pick up blitzes, they’re versatile and they’re experienced,” Gruden said. “We felt with Martin’s situation, already missing Marshawn Lynch, we couldn’t take any precautions.”Notes: Penn’s designation to return likely means the end of Lynch’s season, and possibly his NFL career since teams can only bring back two players off injured reserve. The Raiders already brought back defensive tackle Justin Ellis last week. If Penn isn’t added to the 53-man roster, Lynch could still be brought back, but it’s unlikely. … Benwikere is on his fourth team in five years.
