The Denver Broncos brought in two running backs for workouts on Tuesday, seeking more depth at the position following Tyler Badie’s back injury.
The Broncos worked out Elijah Dotson and Salvon Ahmed, according to the NFL’s transaction wire (via KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis). Ahmed won the tryout and signed with the team’s practice squad on Tuesday.
Ahmed (5-11, 197 pounds) is a fifth-year running back who totaled 867 yards from scrimmage and scored six touchdowns in four seasons with the Miami Dolphins from 2020-2023 (38 games with four starts).
Dotson (5-9, 202 pounds) is a second-year running back who entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Northern Colorado with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023. He dressed in four games last season, rushing four times for six yards and catching two passes for 13 yards.
After bouncing between L.A.’s practice squad and active roster last fall, Dotson was waived by the Chargers in August.
After signing on Tuesday, Ahmed joins a Denver backfield that also includes Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime (currently on IR), Blake Watson and Badie.
