Overview
- The Broncos listed R.J. Harvey as inactive for Sunday’s game after a hamstring problem that produced a non-participation then two limited practices, a sequence first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and confirmed on Denver’s inactives list.
- With Harvey out, J.K. Dobbins is expected to carry the bulk of rushing attempts and early-down work while the offense emphasizes the run more than it did in Week 1.
- Rookie Jonah Coleman moves into a larger situational offensive role and could see his first meaningful snaps as the primary change-of-pace option behind Dobbins.
- Tyler Badie is likely to be activated for third-down and pass-protection duties, and Marvin Mims Jr. remains unavailable, which further reduces Denver’s return-man and multi-role options.
- The short-term absence highlights the value of the Broncos’ planned depth at running back and creates an immediate evaluation chance for Coleman and Badie while the team monitors Harvey’s hamstring recovery.
