The Denver Broncos place second-year running back RJ Harvey on short-term injured reserve after he sustains a knee injury during practice. Multiple outlets report the move follows the injury occurring roughly 48 hours before the team’s Saturday roster update, with Harvey subsequently sidelined from upcoming action.
While several reports focus on the IR designation and the expected length of absence, others emphasize game-day availability. Yahoo Sports reports that Harvey is ruled out for Denver’s Sunday game against the Kansas City Chiefs, alongside safety Talanoa Hufanga, who is also listed as unavailable. The outlook on severity varies across coverage: one Yahoo Sports–NFL piece cites a source suggesting the knee injury is not believed to be serious, though the team provides no confirmed detail. Other outlets keep the framing more general, describing the injury without asserting its exact extent.
The Broncos also make additional personnel adjustments, including promoting veteran safety Taylor Rapp from the practice squad, reflecting broader lineup changes for the Chiefs matchup.
