The Denver Broncos' thin running back corps is getting thinner.

Rookie rusher Devontae Booker suffered a shoulder injury after one carry in Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers. He was reportedly deemed questionable to return but re-entered the game soon after.

Should Booker prove ineffective due to the shoulder, the Broncos will have to resort to Kapri Bibbs and Juwan Thompson in the backfield.

The Broncos lost leading rusher C.J. Anderson for the rest of the regular season this week after he underwent knee surgery.
