MORE TOUCHES FOR HILLIS?

With Michael Pittman and Andre Hall on injured reserve and Selvin Young still injured, the only healthy running back in Denver is rookie Ryan Torain, who missed the first seven games of the season with a broken arm. Because of that (and in lieu of bringing back a guy like Tatum Bell), fullback Peyton Hillis could get more touches on Thursday night at Cleveland. In college at Arkansas, Hillis played fullback, running back, receiver, tight end, and kick returner. On Sunday, he became only the third running back in Broncos history to register more than 100 yards receiving in a single game. “I really don’t know what to expect. It’s pretty much a week-to-week deal with the way things have been going ever since the beginning of the year,” Hillis said on quarterback Jay Cutler’s weekly TV show. “No matter what role they put my in, I’ll be wanting to do it any way.”
