Denver's backfield took another hit Sunday, with Jonah Coleman's ankle injury adding to concerns at running back ahead of Week 3.
Denver Broncos rookie running back Jonah Coleman is nursing a sprained ankle after going down during Sunday's 20-13 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. How serious the injury is has not been determined, leaving his availability for coming games in question.
There was more encouraging news elsewhere in the Broncos backfield. Schefter indicated that RJ Harvey, who has been managing a hamstring issue, is making continued progress in his recovery. J.K. Dobbins, who left Sunday's game late in the third quarter with his own hamstring problem, is expected back at practice this week, which the team viewed as a positive development.
Should any of Denver's top three running backs sit out Sunday's matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, Tyler Badie stands as the next option on the depth chart. Cody Schrader is also on the practice squad as an additional possibility.
The Broncos hosted three running backs for tryouts Tuesday but opted against signing any of them, an indication the organization believes its current backfield depth is sufficient heading into Week 3.
