The Broncos are placing RB RJ Harvey on short-term IR because of the knee injury he suffered in practice this week. That'll knock him out for at least four games, though it doesn't sound like the team expects him to remain out longer than that. The timing helps by giving Harvey extra time via the Week 10 bye. He'll be eligible to return for the Week 13 home date with the Dolphins.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and then did not practice on Friday. We’ll look for more info on Harvey’s injury and a timeline for return. He leaves behind a backfield-high 41% route rate and 17% target share. RB Jonah Coleman, who beat RB J.K. Dobbins 22% to 6% in routes last week, is the favorite to pick up most of Harvey’s passing-down work.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey was added to the injury report with a knee and limited in practice on Thursday. We don't have any other details, but Harvey likely hurt his knee in practice today. We'll see about his status for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. Harvey's absence would leave passing-down work for RBs Jonah Coleman and J.K. Dobbins.

The Broncos placed RB Jonah Coleman on IR, knocking him out for the next 4 games. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Coleman suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 2 win over the Jaguars but is expected back when first eligible in Week 7. This injury frustratingly went unreported after last Sunday's game, and the severity went unreported until now. Coleman is worth keeping stashed on fantasy rosters if possible, but he won't have a chance to be a factor until the second half of the season. RBs J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey are safer short-term fantasy bets with Coleman out.

Broncos RBs J.K. Dobbins (hip) and R.J. Harvey (hamstring) are off the final injury report for Sunday night’s game vs. the Rams. Both guys were full participants in practice on Thursday and Friday. RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) has been ruled out, so this backfield should look similar in terms of workload split to Week 1, when Dobbins out-carried Harvey 8 to 3 but Harvey saw all 4 RB targets.

Add Jonah Coleman to the list of injured Broncos RBs. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Coleman sprained an ankle in the Week 2 win over the Jaguars. His status for Sunday's game vs. the Rams is uncertain. Meanwhile, RB R.J. Harvey is "making progress" with his hamstring injury, and the Broncos "received good news" on RB J.K. Dobbins' hamstring, according to Schefter. Dobbins is expected to practice this week, which seemingly puts him in line to play against the Rams. We'll see if this muddy backfield clears up at all over the next few days.

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 J.K. Dobbins left Monday's practice with what HC Sean Payton called a soft-tissue injury. Payton didn't offer any more details and didn't sound overly concerned, but this certainly bears monitoring with Dobbins' lengthy injury history.
