The Broncos opened practice this week with a mixed injury picture in the backfield, as running back Jonah Coleman is dealing with a sprained ankle suffered in Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): 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. 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.
Coleman's ankle issue adds a question mark to a Denver ground game that has been sorting out its rotation. There is more encouraging news elsewhere in the room: RJ Harvey continues to make progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, and the team also received good word on JK Dobbins, who left Sunday's game early but is expected to practice this week.
The sprain's severity and Coleman's status for Week 3 remain to be determined by how he responds as the week moves along. With Harvey inching back and Dobbins trending toward returning to the practice field, the Broncos are hopeful their backfield gets healthier for the upcoming matchup, though the exact split of carries will depend on who is available.
