McGahee, who last played for the Broncos from 2010-2012, hopes to play on Sunday against the Vikings, despite having just three days to prepare, according to Darlington. The 11-year veteran is coming off a torn medial collateral ligament and compression fracture in his right knee that sidelined him on injured reserve for most of last season.
McGahee is likely to be the Browns’ starting running back for the rest of this season, but may take a backseat to Bobby Rainey in the Week 3’s matchup against the Vikings.
Minnesota will host the Browns on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
