Broncos’ RJ Harvey Cleared to Return After In-Game Concussion Evaluation

Denver will watch his practice participation this week to see whether the evaluation or a recent hamstring issue affects short-term availability

Overview

  • Harvey was active for Denver’s game against the Rams and was removed in the third quarter for a concussion evaluation by Broncos medical staff.
  • Team updates say he passed the sideline concussion checks and was cleared to return to play in the same game with no concussion diagnosis reported.
  • The evaluation came only days after Harvey returned from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the previous game and limited his earlier practice reps.
  • Harvey rejoined a backfield that includes J.K. Dobbins and Tyler Badie, which means the Broncos can adjust workloads if he shows any lingering issues.
  • Coaches will use his practice participation this week as the main indicator of availability, and changes in reps could alter snap counts and short-term depth plans.
