The Broncos on Monday placed S Brandon Jones on IR with a pectoral injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Packers. With just three regular-season games left, that obviously knocks Jones out until at least the playoffs.

After a four-game slide where it appeared that Troy Franklin had lost his status as Denver's No. 2 WR, a hamstring injury suffered by Pat Bryant opened the door for Franklin to reassert himself as an integral part of Denver's passing attack. And he took advantage of the opportunity. Franklin caught all 6 of his targets for 85 yards and 1 TD in Denver's 34-26 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey suffered a rib injury late in Sunday's win over the Packers and did not return. We'll look for updates on his status for Week 16 and beyond. With RB J.K. Dobbins on IR, Harvey's absence would leave Denver's backfield to Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie.

Broncos WR Marvin Mims left Sunday's game vs. the Packers with a stinger. He was also evaluated for a concussion but was cleared, according to the CBS broadcast. We'll update Mims' status when we know more. Denver is already without WR Pat Bryant (hamstring) today.

Update: Mims returned for the second half.

Broncos WR Pat Bryant (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. He didn’t practice all week, so this could turn into a multi-week absence. WRs Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims should see more playing time with Bryant sidelined. See where those guys land in the Week 15 WR rankings.

Broncos WR Pat Bryant (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. Insider Ben Allbright does not expect Bryant to play vs. the Packers this weekend. The rookie has emerged as Denver's No. 2 WR, but his absence would boost Troy Franklin back into that role and Marvin Mims into the No. 3 spot on the depth chart.

The past two weeks have seen Broncos WR Troy Franklin go from challenging Courtland Sutton's lead-target status to barely involved in the passing game. He followed a Week 13 dip in usage by running a season-low 17 routes in Sunday's win over the Raiders. That marked just a 39.5% rate vs. Denver's 43 dropbacks. Franklin still ranked third among Broncos WRs in that category but trailed well behind No. 2 Pat Bryant (67.4%) and narrowly led No. 4 Marvin Mims Jr. (34.9%). Franklin ranked fifth among Denver wideouts in total snaps, trailing -- in order -- Sutton, Bryant, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, and Mims.

Broncos RB RJ Harvey posted a top-5 fantasy score in Sunday's win over the Raiders (pending the results of the Sunday night and Monday night games). He tallied 75 yards and a TD on 17 carries and caught all six of his targets for 25 yards.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins needs surgery for his foot injury and will likely miss the rest of the season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Dobbins suffered the foot injury on a hip-drop tackle during Denver's Week 10 win over the Raiders. NFL Network reports that it's a "ligament issue" and calls the surgery season-ending.

Broncos WR Marvin Mims (concussion) was a full-go in practice all week and is off the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs and figures to split No. 3 WR duties with Pat Bryant. Neither is a viable fantasy play.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He’s dealing with a “significant” foot injury and is expected to be sidelined “for the foreseeable future,” NFL Network reports. We’ll see if Dobbins lands on IR on Saturday. His absence should mean an expanded early-down role for RB R.J. Harvey. Denver only has RBs Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin behind him. Harvey checks in 22nd in the Week 11 RB rankings in a tough matchup against Kansas City.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. While we don't have a firm update on Dobbins' injury, the tea leaves suggest he'll miss multiple games. That should mean an expanded early-down role for RB R.J. Harvey. Denver only has Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin behind him. Harvey gets a tough draw on Sunday against Kansas City's seventh-ranked RB defense, but the rookie sits 22nd in the Week 11 RB rankings.

IR is "being considered" for Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot), according to The Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson. Dobbins sought a second opinion on his foot injury, but we still haven't heard any further updates. If IR is even a possibility, though, it's likely that Dobbins will miss multiple games. IR would cost him at least four. Dobbins is worth keeping stashed as we await more information, but fantasy owners should at least plan on him missing Week 11. The Broncos then get a Week 12 bye. Dobbins' absence would likely mean a much bigger role for RB R.J. Harvey, particularly on early downs. The only other RBs on Denver's active roster are Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin.

Broncos LB Alex Singleton revealed to teammates Monday that he had surgery Friday to remove a cancerous testicular tumor. It's not yet clear how much time he'll miss, but he says the outlook is good. Singleton said the diagnosis came within the past couple of weeks after the NFL's random drug-testing program detected elevated levels of the hormone hcG. A follow-up with a urologist found the cancerous growth.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a left foot injury in Thursday night's win over the Raiders. He never sought treatment for it on the sideline, finished the game, and said afterward he was OK. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports, however, that Dobbins is "awaiting a second opinion" on the foot. You don't normally go seek that second opinion if the first doctor tells you you're fine.

J.K. Dobbins remained Denver's clear lead back in Thursday night's win over the Raiders, carrying 18 times for 77 yards. RB R.J. Harvey mustered just nine yards on his four carries. The rookie out-targeted Dobbins three to one but totaled only nine yards on his two grabs. Dobbins caught his lone target for seven yards.

There was very little to like in Denver's offense in Thursday night's 10-7 win over the Raiders. But WR Troy Franklin came away with a serviceable 5-40-1 receiving line. He scored the Broncos' only TD of the night on a slant from the slot from seven yards out in the second quarter. Franklin did a nice job using his body to shield a defender from the ball, making the grab through contact just beyond the goal line. He also had a key 18-yard catch-and-run to convert a third-and-one late in the fourth quarter.

Broncos WR Marvin Mims (concussion) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Raiders. He got in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday but wasn't able to clear protocol. Rookie Pat Bryant will operate as Denver's No. 3 WR for the second straight game but is only in play in single-game daily contests.

Broncos QB Bo Nix endured a predictably tough passing day in Sunday's matchup with (arguably) the league's best defense in Houston. He completed just 18 of 37 passes for 173 yards. Nix did connect for a pair of TD passes, though, including one early in the fourth quarter. Nix also racked up 34 of his 36 rushing yards on the team's final drive, setting up the game-winning FG.

Broncos WR Troy Franklin managed just 4 receptions for 27 yards in Sunday's matchup with a tough Houston defense. But he drew a team-high 10 targets, beating No. 2 Courtland Sutton by four. That marked the third straight game of 8+ targets for Franklin after he averaged 6.0 targets per game through the first six weeks.
