Broncos Lose Harvey to Injured Reserve After Practice Knee Injury

The Denver Broncos have placed running back RJ Harvey on injured reserve after he suffered a knee injury during the early portion of Thursday's practice, multiple reports confirmed on Saturday. The second-year back will miss at least four games and, with Denver's bye week factored in, is not eligible to return until the Broncos' game against the Miami Dolphins on December 6. Harvey, a second-round pick in 2025, scored 12 touchdowns as a rookie and had taken on a growing role in Denver's backfield this season. His absence is a significant blow to a Broncos running game that has already had to manage injuries at the position, and it may force the club to look at further depth options before the November 10 trade deadline. Denver have taken care to build depth at running back in recent seasons, and that planning will now be tested over the next month. Harvey is expected to return this season, with the December 6 date circled as the earliest possible comeback, but the Broncos will have to navigate a crucial stretch of their schedule without one of their most explosive young offensive weapons.
