Free agent running back Justin Fargas is on his way to take a physical and possibly finalize a deal with the Denver Broncos, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Fargas, 30, has run for 3,369 yards and 10 touchdowns during his seven-year career in the NFL, the entirety of which spent with the Oakland Raiders, who chose Fargas in the third-round of the 2003 NFL Draft out of USC.

Fargas has added 77 receptions for 523 yards as a receiver out of the backfield.

The Raiders released Fargas in March, claiming he had failed a physical.

Denver is in need of running back depth with Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter sidelined with injuries. The Broncos signed LenDale White last week, and have Bruce Hall, Lance Ball, and Toney Baker on the roster, as well.
