ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) Justin Forsett is reuniting with Gary Kubiak in Denver.

The Broncos claimed the 31-year-old running back off waivers from Detroit to replace Kapri Bibbs, who went on IR with a high left ankle sprain.

Over his career, Forsett has averaged 5.5 yards a carry in Kubiak's offenses and 4.4 yards elsewhere.

With Kubiak as his offensive coordinator, Forsett set career highs with 235 carries for 1,266 yards and eight touchdowns in 2014. He averaged a career-best 5.9 yards a carry for Kubiak in Houston in 2012.

Forsett averaged 3.1 yards per carry in five games this season, three with the Ravens and two with the Lions.

That's better than Broncos rookie Devontae Booker's 2.8-yard average since C.J. Anderson (knee) went on IR.
