Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a hamstring injury in the second half Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He's officially questionable to return, but don't expect to see him back out there. With RB R.J. Harvey inactive with his own hamstring injury, Denver is down to RBs Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie.
Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. RBs J.K. Dobbins, Jonah Coleman, and Tyler Badie are active. Dobbins figures to control rushing work but will likely cede passing-down snaps to Coleman and Badie. Dobbins checks in 28th in the Week 2 RB rankings.
Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is "unlikely" to play vs. the Jaguars today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Harvey is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He led Denver's backfield with a 53% snap rate and 45% route rate in trailing game script last week, finishing with 3 carries and 4 targets. Harvey's absence would be a slight boost to RB J.K. Dobbins' Week 2 outlook. But expect a role for RB Jonah Coleman, and RB Tyler Badie to potentially play a passing-down role.
Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. The hamstring adds risk to a player who was already a fringe fantasy starter. Harvey’s absence would be a slight boost to RB J.K. Dobbins and likely mean a role for rookie RB Jonah Coleman.
Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of Monday night's loss to the Chiefs ok, so this could just be a rest day on a short week. We'll see if Harvey gets back on the field tomorrow. His absence would be a boost to RB J.K. Dobbins and give RB Jonah Coleman a chance at more reps vs. the Jaguars this weekend.
Zac Stevens of theDNVR.com broke down the Broncos' backfield outlook Thursday on Ari Meirov's podcast and confirmed what we've been suspecting for the RB roles. That includes RJ Harvey occupying the same role he played before Dobbins went down last year, even if Dobbins goes down again.
After dealing with a soft tissue injury during training camp, Broncos head coach Sean Payton says that J.K.

We passed along earlier in June that Broncos RB RJ Harvey was missing on-field workout time while he rehabbed a surgically repaired shoulder. That time off might have given rookie RB Jonah Coleman a chance to challenge for more playing time this season. Coleman impressed in spring workouts, including in passing situations.
Broncos RB R.J. Harvey suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder in January's playoff loss to the Patriots, according to The Denver Post's Luca Evans. Harvey had surgery this offseason and "hasn’t done much team work in OTAs," Evans adds.
The Denver Broncos selected Washington RB Jonah Coleman in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Coleman’s dynasty appeal isn’t tied to one spike season. It’s rooted in three years of steady production, physical running, and usable pass-game skills. He carved out a role early at Arizona before following H C Jedd Fisch to Washington and immediately claiming the No. 1 job. Coleman handled nearly two-thirds of the team’s carries in 2024. And that workload came with elite contact balance and strong yards-after-contact numbers -- despite poor run blocking. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Coleman ranked 11th in 2025 rushing market share (41.5%), and seventh in yards after contact per attempt (3.58). He ranked seventh in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.24) and fourth in receiving yards per route run (1.73). He is currently 22 years old.
The Broncos are nearing an agreement to re-sign RB J.K. Dobbins, according to beat writer Zac Stevens. Dobbins ran for 772 yards and four TDs on 5.0 yards per carry across 10 games for Denver last year. His season ended in Week 10 with a foot injury that required surgery, although it seemed like Dobbins had a chance to make it back had the Broncos reached the Super Bowl.
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) is out for Sunday's AFC Championship vs. the Patriots. He returned to limited practices this week for the first time since going down in Week 10.

The Broncos are designating RB J.K. Dobbins to return from IR, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Dobbins will practice this week and "has a chance" to play vs. the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship, per Schefter. Dobbins has been sidelined since suffering a foot injury in Week 10 that required surgery. We'll keep an eye on his status throughout the week. We'd be surprised if he played a big role in his first action since early November, but his presence would certainly add downside to RB R.J. Harvey's fantasy profile.
