Broncos Clear Rookie RJ Harvey to Play vs. Jaguars After Rib Scare

Denver eyes touch management for its breakout back during a tight AFC seeding race.

Overview

  • The team finalized availability Friday, with RJ Harvey and fellow rookie Pat Bryant set to be active after full practices.
  • Sean Payton said Harvey is "good" following the late-fourth-quarter rib issue against the Packers.
  • Harvey practiced fully on Wednesday and Thursday and finished the week without a reported setback.
  • Coaches are preparing to manage his workload after heavy usage since J.K. Dobbins' season-ending injury, including getting Jaleel McLaughlin more involved.
  • Denver said the Cody Schrader addition was for depth and not tied to Harvey's health, and ILB Justin Strnad was the only 53-man player sidelined in practice with a foot or ankle concern.
