Broncos lose RB RJ Harvey to injured reserve after a knee injury at practice

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey has been placed on short-term injured reserve after a knee injury at practice
NOVEMBER 1 • Associated Press
Lands on injured reserve The Broncos placed Harvey (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Harvey was already ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, but now that he's on IR, the second-year running back will be required to miss at least the next four games. That means the earliest that he is eligible to return is Week 13 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 6. In Harvey's absence, the Broncos' backfield will be led by J.K. Dobbins and rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman.

Shouldn't be out too long Harvey (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but his injury isn't considered severe or long term, Sam Jane of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Harvey was a mid-week addition to the injury report, listed as limited Thursday and absent Friday. It sounds like he may only miss a game or two, but that could impact his role down the stretch if rookie Jonah Coleman takes advantage of the opportunity ahead. Coleman took half of the snaps and half of the backfield opportunities last week in his first game back from injured reserve, while Harvey was limited to a 25 percent snap share and five touches, relying on a 52-yard TD reception to salvage his fantasy day. Harvey's absence could free up a few more snaps and touches for Coleman or J.K. Dobbins.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Sunday's game Harvey (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reports.
Impact After logging a limited practice Thursday, Harvey will now miss Sunday's divisional clash with the rival Chiefs. Jonah Coleman and J.K. Dobbins should handle most of the backfield work for the Broncos, but Tyler Badie could see some pass-game action.

Added to injury report Thursday Harvey (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Harvey wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, and it's unclear if his limitations a day later stemmed from Denver's initial practice or were the result of an issue the running back encountered Thursday. In any case, added context with regard to Harvey's status for Sunday's game against the Chiefs will arrive no later than Friday. If available this weekend, Harvey will contend with J.K. Dobbinsand Jonah Coleman for Denver's Week 8 backfield touches.

Catches 52-yard TD in win Harvey rushed three times for six yards while catching both of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Harvey did most of his damage on a 52-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, but he was quiet otherwise. Jonah Coleman turned nine carries and two catches into 69 scrimmage yards in the rookie's return from an ankle injury, while J.K. Dobbins scored a touchdown on one of the latter's six rushing attempts, so Denver has a three-man backfield rotation going ahead of a Week 8 home game against the Chiefs. Harvey has a path to consistent targets as a pass catcher out of the backfield, especially if he continues to capitalize on those opportunities like he did Sunday.

OCTOBER 16 • Associated Press
Solid production with nine touches Harvey rushed six times for 25 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 31 yards in the Broncos' 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks on Thursday.
Impact Harvey finished with a team-high receiving yardage total on a night when Bo Nix threw for only 107 yards, and the second-year back made key complementary contributions on the ground as well. Harvey scored his first touchdown of the season on a one-yard run with 5:15 remaining in the second quarter, while his rushing yardage total tied a season high. Harvey projects to remain in his change-of-pace role when the Broncos visit the Cardinals in a Week 7 matchup on Sunday, Oct. 25.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Earns only target in Week 5 Harvey notched three carries for seven yards and didn't haul in his only target during Sunday's 23-17 road win versus the Chargers.
Impact After being targeted a whopping 17 times over the previous two games, Harvey experienced a change in fortunes Sunday as no Bronco earned more than WR jaylen Waddle's five looks from QB Bo Nix. Harvey hasn't been able to get anything going on the ground this season (3.7 YPC) in his four appearances while Dobbins has earned the more consistent workload (13.8 touches per game), leaving the former a distant second in the pecking order out of Denver's backfield.

Massive receiving workload in loss Harvey rushed seven times for 25 yards and secured all 10 targets for 68 yards in the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 64 yards and com...
Impact Harvey was only four carries behind J.K. Dobbins on an afternoon where game script eventually turned against the run in the second half, but the second-year back saw the biggest workload of any Broncos pass catcher. Harvey led the team across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and both his catch and target tallies were also career highs. The early exit of Pat Bryant with an ankle injury may have had at least a nominal influence on boosting Harvey's pass-catching opportunities, but the latter is highly valued for his receiving capabilities overall and should retain a solid complementary role in a Week 5 road matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Bo Nix's late-game comebacks keep rescuing Broncos, but solving slow starts remains a top priority

Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos have become known for their fourth-quarter comebacks since Nix joined the league in 2024
OCTOBER 1 • Associated Press
Seven targets, two carries in Week 3 Harvey (hamstring) rushed twice for six yards while catching six of seven targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams.
Impact Harvey didn't see much involvement on the ground but tied for the team lead in targets in his return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He was evaluated for a concussion in the second half and cleared to return, though Harvey had just one touch after that point. J.K. Dobbins is likely to keep working as Denver's primary rushing option in Week 4 against the 49ers, especially with rookie fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman (ankle) on IR, while Harvey remains the preferred running back in passing situations.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to return vs. Rams Harvey has been cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Rams after passing a concussion evaluation, Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Harvey was evaluated for a concussion in the third quarter but has been cleared to return to action. He rejoins a Denver backfield that also includes J.K. Dobbins and Tyler Badie in the second half of Sunday night's game against the Rams.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Getting evaluated for concussion Harvey is being evaluated for a concussion, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
Impact Harvey was taken to the blue injury tent, and eventually to the locker room, to be evaluated for a concussion in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams. The 2025 second-round pick will need to pass the evaluation to return to the game. J.K. Dobbins and Tyler Badie are Denver's available running backs. Harvey had two carries for six yards and caught five of six targets for 39 yards prior to coming off the field.
