Broncos sign running back Latavius Murray ahead of Week 5

The Denver Broncos have signed running back Latavius Murray off of the New Orleans Saints' practice squad ahead of their Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

What It Means:

Murray spent the weekend in London with the Saints, but will head out for Denver now that the Broncos have signed him off of the Saints' practice squad. He'll compete for reps with Melvin Gordon (neck) and Mike Boone with Javonte Williams (knee) heading to the injured reserve.

Murray looked surprisingly spry at times in his season debut Sunday, rushing 11 times for 57 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings. Murray has a real chance to claim a role in the Broncos' backfield given Boone's inexperience as a lead back and Gordon's fumbling issues this season.
