Overview

• J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey have solidified their spots on the initial 53-man roster after two preseason outings
• Tyler Badie and Blake Watson have impressed in both games, boosting their odds of earning one of the remaining backfield slots
• Audric Estimé’s production slipped in the second preseason contest, placing the 2024 fifth-round pick on the roster bubble
• Jaleel McLaughlin faces a likely cut despite a standout 35-yard run, and the team risks losing him on waivers before a possible practice-squad return
• Denver’s coaching staff will lean on the remaining preseason game to trim the crowded backfield from six to four players
