The Broncos placed RB Jonah Coleman on IR, knocking him out for the next 4 games. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Coleman suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 2 win over the Jaguars but is expected back when first eligible in Week 7. This injury frustratingly went unreported after last Sunday's game, and the severity went unreported until now. Coleman is worth keeping stashed on fantasy rosters if possible, but he won't have a chance to be a factor until the second half of the season. RBs J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey are safer short-term fantasy bets with Coleman out.

Broncos RBs J.K. Dobbins (hip) and R.J. Harvey (hamstring) are off the final injury report for Sunday night’s game vs. the Rams. Both guys were full participants in practice on Thursday and Friday. RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) has been ruled out, so this backfield should look similar in terms of workload split to Week 1, when Dobbins out-carried Harvey 8 to 3 but Harvey saw all 4 RB targets.

Broncos RBs J.K. Dobbins (hip) and R.J. Harvey (hamstring) were upgraded to full participants in Thursday's practice. RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) remained sidelined. It's looking like it'll be Dobbins and Harvey in Denver's backfield vs. the Rams this weekend. They'll both be in play as RB3 or flex options.

Add Jonah Coleman to the list of injured Broncos RBs. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Coleman sprained an ankle in the Week 2 win over the Jaguars. His status for Sunday's game vs. the Rams is uncertain. Meanwhile, RB R.J. Harvey is "making progress" with his hamstring injury, and the Broncos "received good news" on RB J.K. Dobbins' hamstring, according to Schefter. Dobbins is expected to practice this week, which seemingly puts him in line to play against the Rams. We'll see if this muddy backfield clears up at all over the next few days.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle caught 8 of 10 targets for 138 yards in the Broncos win against the Jaguars. That came off the heels of Waddle’s disappointing Week 1 performance catching 1 of 3 targets for 2 yards. The Broncos got Waddle involved early and often in the game plan, with scripted passes to him allowing Waddle to pick up yards after the catch. He appears back on the track of being an every-week starter.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a hamstring injury in the second half Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He's officially questionable to return, but don't expect to see him back out there. With RB R.J. Harvey inactive with his own hamstring injury, Denver is down to RBs Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. RBs J.K. Dobbins, Jonah Coleman, and Tyler Badie are active. Dobbins figures to control rushing work but will likely cede passing-down snaps to Coleman and Badie. Dobbins checks in 28th in the Week 2 RB rankings.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is "unlikely" to play vs. the Jaguars today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Harvey is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He led Denver's backfield with a 53% snap rate and 45% route rate in trailing game script last week, finishing with 3 carries and 4 targets. Harvey's absence would be a slight boost to RB J.K. Dobbins' Week 2 outlook. But expect a role for RB Jonah Coleman, and RB Tyler Badie to potentially play a passing-down role.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. The hamstring adds risk to a player who was already a fringe fantasy starter. Harvey’s absence would be a slight boost to RB J.K. Dobbins and likely mean a role for rookie RB Jonah Coleman.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of Monday night's loss to the Chiefs ok, so this could just be a rest day on a short week. We'll see if Harvey gets back on the field tomorrow. His absence would be a boost to RB J.K. Dobbins and give RB Jonah Coleman a chance at more reps vs. the Jaguars this weekend.

Zac Stevens of theDNVR.com broke down the Broncos' backfield outlook Thursday on Ari Meirov's podcast and confirmed what we've been suspecting for the RB roles. That includes RJ Harvey occupying the same role he played before Dobbins went down last year, even if Dobbins goes down again.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins left Monday's practice with what HC Sean Payton called a soft-tissue injury. Payton didn't offer any more details and didn't sound overly concerned, but this certainly bears monitoring with Dobbins' lengthy injury history.

Nick Kosmider of The Athletic deems RB J.K. Dobbins one of the Broncos' 10 most important players for 2026, putting him ahead of backfield mates RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman.

We passed along earlier in June that Broncos RB RJ Harvey was missing on-field workout time while he rehabbed a surgically repaired shoulder. That time off might have given rookie RB Jonah Coleman a chance to challenge for more playing time this season. Coleman impressed in spring workouts, including in passing situations.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder in January's playoff loss to the Patriots, according to The Denver Post's Luca Evans. Harvey had surgery this offseason and "hasn’t done much team work in OTAs," Evans adds.

The Denver Broncos selected Washington RB Jonah Coleman in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Coleman’s dynasty appeal isn’t tied to one spike season. It’s rooted in three years of steady production, physical running, and usable pass-game skills. He carved out a role early at Arizona before following H C Jedd Fisch to Washington and immediately claiming the No. 1 job. Coleman handled nearly two-thirds of the team’s carries in 2024. And that workload came with elite contact balance and strong yards-after-contact numbers -- despite poor run blocking. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Coleman ranked 11th in 2025 rushing market share (41.5%), and seventh in yards after contact per attempt (3.58). He ranked seventh in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.24) and fourth in receiving yards per route run (1.73). He is currently 22 years old.
