Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that R.J. Harvey, officially listed as questionable after limited practice work with a hamstring issue, is unlikely to play against Jacksonville.
- Wide receiver and elite returner Marvin Mims Jr. was already ruled out with a foot injury, leaving Denver without two Week 1 multi-role contributors.
- J.K. Dobbins remains the Broncos’ clear lead back but Denver’s rushing attack struggled for just 61 yards in Week 1, increasing urgency to restore balance on offense.
- Rookie Jonah Coleman, who played only three offensive snaps in the opener, is expected to see a larger role if Harvey is inactive while Tyler Badie could be activated for third-down and special-teams work.
- Losing Harvey and Mims will hurt field-position and roster flexibility, so coaches must adjust play-calling and special-teams plans to avoid a predictable, pass-heavy game script.
