Broncos Add Fargas to Help Depleted Running Back Corps

"After seven years in Oakland, that chapter's done," Fargas said. "This is a new beginning for me and I'm looking forward to it."

Fargas didn't participate in any of the team drills and mostly was an observer in his first practice since undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in March, but he did much more in the evening practice.

Wearing orange and blue was weird for Fargas after seven seasons in silver and black.

"It's a little different, but it feels good," he said. "It's always been a great rivalry and the Broncos have always been an organization I've respected. And to be a part of it now and have this opportunity feels good."

Fargas also said his surgically repaired knee felt fine.

The Raiders released him in March after he failed a physical because of his balky knee. He underwent arthroscopic surgery that same month and drew scattered interest from other teams before latching on with the injury-riddled Broncos.

The oft-injured Fargas has been a force when healthy, rushing for 3,369 yards in seven seasons since the Raiders selected him in the third round of the 2003 draft out of Southern California. He's averaged 4.1 yards per carry and scored 10 touchdowns in his NFL career.
