Harvey Out and Dobbins Hurt in Broncos' Week 2 Win

Rookie Jonah Coleman assumed a larger role as the team monitors both running backs through the coming practice week.

Overview

  • The Broncos ruled R.J. Harvey inactive with a hamstring issue on Sunday and he did not play, which immediately opened work for rookie Jonah Coleman.
  • J.K. Dobbins left late in the Week 2 game with a hamstring problem and coach Sean Payton called it a "little" injury while the team expressed cautious optimism about his return.
  • Denver rallied for a 20-13 comeback victory over Jacksonville despite the backfield openings, but the game highlighted how thin the depth chart is without Harvey fully available.
  • Coleman received an expanded snap count and more carries during the matchup and Tyler Badie is expected to handle third-down and pass-protection duties when active.
  • The Broncos will use midweek practice reports to set availability for next Sunday night against the Rams and those updates will shape game planning and fantasy-football decisions.
