The Denver Broncos' entire running back room is banged up as the team prepares for its Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. RJ Harvey was unable to take the field for the Broncos in their 20-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars this past weekend as he continued to deal with a hamstring issue he sustained during a Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Dobbins was unable to finish Sunday's game as sustained a "slight hamstring issue" of his his own.
Rookie running back Jonah Coleman finished Week 2's victory over the Jaguars as the Broncos' leading rusher, taking 10 carries for 39 yards and one touchdown, while reeling in three catches for an additional 19 yards through the air. But on Wednesday, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Coleman is dealing with an ankle injury he suffered sometime during Sunday's game. "As the Broncos start practice this week, running back Jonah Coleman is dealing with a sprained ankle that he suffered in Sunday’s game vs.
Jacksonville, per source," Shefter reported. "Denver RB RJ Harvey continues to make progress on his hamstring recovery, and the team also received good news on RB JK Dobbins, who left Sunday’s game early, but is expected to practice this week." It appears Dobbins is trending in the right direction to play on Sunday night, but the Broncos could be very thin at the running back position. The team's fourth RB option is Tyler Badie, who has very limited experience as an NFL ball carrier.
Sunday's matchup against the Rams will kick off at 8:20 p.m.
