ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman may have been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, but coach Gary Kubiak said that was a result of soreness in Hillman's leg and that he has no doubt at all about the player's availability.

"No doubt he definitely will start," Kubiak said following Friday's practice. "I think he's going to be fine. He looked a lot better [Friday] than he did [Thursday], I think he's just sore coming off of it. He's got a couple of good days here to work on it. I think he'll be OK."

Hillman, who suffered a deep thigh bruise after a hit he took in the second half of Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers, was limited in practices Thursday and Friday. Kubiak has maintained throughout the week that Hillman would start against the Colts.

The Broncos are expected to split the carries in the game between Hillman and C.J. Anderson, as they have for much of the last four games.

"I see them both as 1s," Kubiak said.

Anderson had 14 carries for 101 yards to go with one touchdown against the Packers; Hillman had 19 carries for 60 yards and two touchdowns. Anderson's effort was the third 100-yard rushing game for a Broncos running back over the last four games. Hillman had 103 yards rushing against the Minnesota Vikings and 111 yards against the Cleveland Browns.

Over the last four games, Anderson has had 49 carries in those four games while Hillman has had 57 carries.
