Overview
- Jonah Coleman stepped into extended duty on Sunday, scored his first NFL touchdown and finished with about 58 total yards as the Broncos rallied to a 20-13 win.
- RJ Harvey was ruled out with a hamstring and J.K. Dobbins left late with leg cramps and a slight hamstring issue, creating Coleman’s opportunity while both veterans are being monitored.
- Coach Sean Payton publicly praised Coleman’s situational play and said Coleman, Dobbins and Harvey “can handle a majority of the carries,” signaling an open competition for touches.
- Denver brought in three running backs for workouts this week — Jaden Nixon, Sam Scott and Marcus Yarns — as short-term depth evaluations with no immediate sign any will be signed.
- A new report says Coleman is dealing with a sprained ankle suffered in the game, a developing issue reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that could affect his availability as the team readies for Sunday Night Football.
