Ball (groin) will head into training camp behind C.J. Anderson on the depth chart, head coach Gary Kubiak said last week.

Analysis:

Ball was the starter at the beginning of last season, but a groin injury ultimately forced Ronnie Hillman into the starting role. Hillman played better than Bell until he suffered a foot injury, pushing Anderson to the top of the depth chart. Anderson outplayed the other two by far and earned the right to start the competition in the lead, though Ball and Hillman are certainly expected to make a run at the starting job.
