Broncos RB Cody Schrader faces crowded competition for roster spot

Cody Schrader, a third-year running back, is vying for a position on the Denver Broncos' roster as summer training approaches. Currently sharing No. 25 with cornerback Brent Austin, Schrader's prior experience includes stints with the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. He was claimed off waivers by the Broncos last December after spending some time on practice squads. With a crowded backfield, there are questions about his chances to secure a spot on the 53-man roster, which are described as a long shot due to limited on-field experience. Coaches may consider the possibility of carrying a fifth running back.
