Ball (groin) has been getting some of the first-team reps at OTAs, 9News Denver reports. C.J. Anderson entered the offseason program as the starter and remains all but assured of entering Week 1 as Denver's lead back. However, Ball may have the opportunity to carve out a significant role in the offense, especially if the Broncos look to lighten the burden on Peyton Manning. In other Broncos news, Pro Bowl LT Ryan Clady will miss the entire 2015 season due to a torn ACL suffered Wednesday, creating yet another question mark for an offensive line in transition.
