After losing two of their starting running backs to injuries, the Denver Broncos have turned towards free agency and signed a former 1,000 yard running back.
Denver and LenDale White have agreed to a two-year deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
White was released in May by the Seattle Seahawks, just a month after the organization made a draft-day trade for the 25-year-old. The 6-foot-1, 218-pound bruiser will be suspended the first four games this season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
White became expendable in Tennessee after teammate Chris Johnson broke out with a 2,006 yard rushing season in 2009, making carries less available.
Denver lost Correll Buckhalter and Knowshon Moreno on the first day of training camp to back and hamstring injuries. Buckhalter could be back as early as Monday while Moreno will most likely be back by Denver's second preseason game on August 21. Denver also has Toney Baker, Lance Ball and Bruce Hall on their roster.
