Broncos pass on signing running backs after Tuesday tryouts
The short version
- The Broncos worked out running backs Jaden Nixon, Sam Scott and Marcus Yarns on Tuesday
- No signings are planned for now, per the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson
- J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey are dealing with hamstring injuries but could return in Week 3
- Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie are healthy on the active roster; Cody Schrader is on the practice squad
Denver worked out three free agent running backs but will not add any of them for now, according to the Denver Gazette.
The Denver Broncos do not plan to sign a running back in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday's tryouts, according to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Free agents Jaden Nixon, Sam Scott and Marcus Yarns worked out at the team's facility, but none received a contract.
The team could revisit those players later, though none of the three will be added this week, per the report.
The workouts came with running backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey each nursing hamstring injuries. There is optimism that one or both could be back for Denver's Week 3 game.
The Broncos currently have rookie Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie available on the active roster, with Cody Schrader offering depth on the practice squad.
Denver holds its first practice of the week on Wednesday, and the club's first injury report afterward should provide a clearer picture of Dobbins and Harvey's status.
