Broncos sign RB Arrington

Football Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - Englewood, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Broncos have brought back running back J.J. Arrington.

Arrington originally signed a four-year deal worth a reported $10 million with Denver last offseason, but was subsequently waived after failing a physical and spent 2009 out of football.

It was reported at the time Arrington needed microfracture surgery on his right knee -- the same knee he had surgery on in the 2008 offseason prior to signing the first time around.

A release from the team did not indicate whether the four-year pro underwent any kind of procedure.

Arrington spent his first four NFL seasons with the Cardinals, who made the California product their second-round selection in 2005. He rushed for a career-high 370 yards and two touchdowns in his rookie season and spent the next three years as a third-down back.

In 58 career games, Arrington has rushed for 654 yards and three touchdowns to go with 693 receiving yards and two scores on 91 grabs.

A Denver Post report Friday also indicated that former Ravens defensive end Justin Bannan and the Broncos have agreed on a five-year contract to become the team's starting nose tackle.

Bannan, who spent the last four seasons with Baltimore, returns to the Denver area to play football for the first time since a stellar college career with the Colorado Buffaloes. Playing in all 16 games for Baltimore last season, including two starts, the 30-year-old made 35 combined tackles.

In eight seasons with the Ravens and Bills, Bannan has totaled 202 tackles, 5 1/2 sacks and one interception.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
