If the game had been a playoff game, he would have gone back in. They taped him up on the sideline just in case.He should be fine.

I'll be watching this too. Noticed Bell did the most damage the last time they played NE. It looks like NE shored up the run D since then, but I'd be curious which back Shanny thinks matches up better vs. NE.

Yup.Tatum Bell has never in his career tallied more than 17 carries. He very rarely cracks 15, instead usually settling in the 12-15 range. Anderson is the horse that keeps Bell fresh. In addition, if Denver gets behind big, I see them keeping Anderson in more than Bell because he's a better blocker (he *is* a former FB, you know). That said, it won't be a huge difference, because they like Bell's ability to put stress on a defense.

Ask and ye shall receive....Broncos: Anderson not on injury report

THE NEWS
Running back Mike Anderson, who missed week 17 with a sprained ankle, is not on the injury report for Saturday's playoff game against the Patriots. Anderson practiced on Tuesday, according to the Rocky Mountain News.
Our View
Anderson will start and return to his role as the lead running back, while backup Tatum Bell goes back to serving as a change-of-pace. In the Broncos' first meeting with the Pats this season, a 28-20 win in week six, Anderson logged 57 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, while Bell exploded for 114 yards and two scores on 13 attempts. Of course, New England was without both Richard Seymour and Tedy Bruschi.
