Former Broncos Pro Bowl RB Phillip Lindsay Joining XFL Club, per Report

The five-year NFL veteran is looking to prove that he’s still got something left in the tank as he joins the Sea Dragons.

Veteran NFL running back Phillip Lindsay is signing with the Seattle Sea Dragons of the XFL, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowl running back has bounced around a bit since his back-to-back 1,000+ yard seasons in 2018 and ’19 with the Broncos.

Lindsay played for Houston and Miami in 2021 and with the Colts last season, but failed to make a significant impact in either stop. Lindsay has rushed for just 298 total yards and one touchdown over the last two years, and will now latch onto a role in the XFL to try to revive his professional prospects.

The Sea Dragons are second in the XFL in rushing, and at 5–2 are second in the XFL North behind the D.C. Defenders.

Lindsay should have plenty of opportunities to showcase his talent as he hopes to prove that he’s still got something left in the tank.
