Well, so much for that.

After a being signed off the practice squad on Saturday, former CSU star running back Kapri Bibbs has been released by the Broncos.

The Broncos brought Bibbs up to the big leagues to help stand in as Denver’s No. 3 running back while Juwan Thompson dealt with a hamstring injury, but unfortunately for Rams fans, Bibbs’ only action against the Browns came on special teams.

It should be safe to assume that the Broncos will stash Bibbs back on the practice squad once he clears waivers, but apparently that breakout performance is still a ways away.

Hopefully, though, this is a sign that Thompson is nearing his way back onto the field. So far through 2015, the big power back hasn’t got much run, but a speed-power combo between him and Ronnie Hillman does sound pretty appealing.
