Broncos clear Harvey and Dobbins for Rams game, rule Coleman out

Denver's backfield will have a different set of available players for Sunday night's game against the Rams. RJ Harvey returned to full practice Friday and has no game-status designation after sitting out Week 2. J.K. Dobbins also finished the week as a full participant without a designation. Rookie Jonah Coleman, meanwhile, was ruled out with an ankle injury after missing all three practices. Those statuses come from the Broncos' final Friday update.

Harvey's return is the main change from the previous game. Denver listed him questionable before its Week 2 win, then made him inactive. The team says he averaged 5.9 yards per touch and produced 41 scrimmage yards in Week 1. He practiced in full Friday without a Sunday tag, which the club says indicates availability. That establishes a usable option for the Rams matchup; it does not establish how Denver will divide carries or targets between Harvey and Dobbins.

Dobbins also had a hip issue during the week, but returned to full participation Thursday and Friday. Coleman's ankle injury went the other direction: he did not practice at all and is out. For anyone setting a game roster or following fantasy availability, the key distinction is between an active-eligible Harvey and Dobbins and a ruled-out Coleman. Their actual workload will come from Sunday's decisions and game plan, not the injury table alone.

The receiving group has one open question. Marvin Mims Jr. is questionable with a foot injury after limited participation throughout the week. He missed Denver's Week 2 win, according to the Broncos. That status is separate from the running-back decisions and should be checked again against the final inactive list. The official team injury page preserves the final designations for both sides of the matchup.

Across the field, the Rams list Puka Nacua and safety Kamren Kinchens doubtful. Nacua's status could change the passing options Los Angeles has available, while Denver's backfield returns a player it lacked last week. Those are availability facts, not a prediction of the game's result. The Broncos host the Rams Sunday at 6:20 p.m. Mountain, 8:20 p.m. Eastern on NBC. A final inactive list before kickoff will confirm which questionable and doubtful players actually dress.

The official designations leave the rotation open, even though they settle the immediate availability question for Coleman.
