J.K. Dobbins

DEN Running Back #27

J.K. Dobbins (soft tissue injury) was seen doing drills Tuesday.

It’s hardly a surprise after head coach Sean Payton told beat writers Dobbins would be “fine” after he left Monday with the unspecified injury. Dobbins profiles as the Broncos’ lead back who will probably cede pass-catching duties to RJ Harvey once again in 2026. Rookie RB Jonah Coleman would be an interesting fantasy add if Dobbins, 27, misses any time in 2026. Dobbins last season missed nine games with a foot sprain.

DEN Running Back #27

Broncos HC Sean Payton said J.K. Dobbins exited Monday’s practice with a soft-tissue injury.

We’re still looking for more clarity here, but Payton did say after practice that he thinks Dobbins is “gonna be fine” and that the team is “trying to be smart with it.” Given Dobbins’ injury history, it makes sense for the team to want to approach any minor issues with caution as they look to get through training camp and into Week 1. Dobbins rushed for 153-772-4 in 10 games with the Broncos last season and signed a two-year, $20 million contract this offseason. He’s expected to serve as their primary lead back, while RJ Harvey will continue to see a role in the passing game. If Dobbins were to miss time, rookie Jonah Coleman could be tasked with stepping in to fill his role.

DEN Running Back #27

J.K. Dobbins was seen heading to the locker room with trainers during Monday’s practice.

We don’t have any details on this yet, but any time Dobbins is seen leaving with trainers, there’s cause for concern. The 27-year-old back has battled back from multiple injuries during his seven-year career and was on his way to the best season of his career in 2025 before a foot injury sidelined him after Week 10. We will check back in when we learn more, but if Dobbins were to miss any time, rookie Jonah Coleman’s fantasy stock would see an immediate boost.
Jaylen Waddle

DEN Wide Receiver #17

Jaylen Waddle is not practicing on Monday.

Waddle has been working through a muscle strain, per head coach Sean Payton, since last week. It was reported on Thursday that he would return within 4-5 days, so we’re nearing the point where we would expect to see him on the field. He was seen working off to the side during Saturday’s practice, so hopefully another day or two of rest will be enough for him to return. Waddle is expected to be the top pass-catcher for the Broncos this season and was having a nice camp before going down.

DEN Wide Receiver #17

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle worked to the side at practice Saturday.

That’s exactly the news fantasy managers were hoping to see after Waddle experienced “some muscle tightness” earlier in the week, prompting his time away from practice. The veteran free agent addition worked to the side Saturday and also shed the leg sleeve he had been seen to be wearing the previous two days, running with no changes in gait. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief as Waddle enters the year as the top option through the air for a dangerous Broncos team.
Matt Henningsen

DEN Defensive End #91

Broncos DE Matt Henningsen suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture on Friday.

This is unbelievably brutal. For the second year in a row, Henningsen ruptured an Achilles tendon on August 7th, this time in the other foot. The former sixth-round pick last played in 2023. He is scheduled to hit free agency at the end of the year.
Marvin Mims

DEN Wide Receiver #19

Broncos WR Marvin Mims left practice early on Friday after suffering an apparent leg injury.

Mims reportedly pulled up lame while running a deep route. He and TE Nate Adkins, who had also apparently suffered an injury around the same time, took off for the locker room with the training staff. It sounds like a soft tissue injury for Mims. He is currently jockeying for position on the wide receiver depth chart, so hopefully he can return before long.
Bo Nix

DEN Quarterback #10

Broncos coach Sean Payton believes Bo Nix’s movement is “back to where it was” before his broken ankle.

Payton said Nix’s health “looks really good.” Payton’s words come a week after Nix pledged to keep running this season despite his unfortunate injury. Considered something of a finished product upon being the No. 12 overall pick of the 2024 Draft, Nix took a decent sophomore step forward, and now has the best supporting cast of his career entering Year 3.
Pat Bryant

DEN Wide Receiver #13

The Broncos’ Susanna Weir reports Pat Bryant “continues to stack standout days at training camp.”

Yes, this is via the Broncos’ in-house media apparatus, but it jibes with what the more independent press has been saying. The second-year pro has also caught the attention of his veteran teammates. “He’s really good vertically and he makes his releases look all the same, which is tough for a guy like me,” were the words of CB Riley Moss. Jaylen Waddle’s addition took some of the air out of Bryant’s second-year breakout case, but he appears ensconced in the team’s No. 3 job and could eventually come into 12-team league relevance.
Courtland Sutton

DEN Wide Receiver #14

The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider reports that Broncos WR Courtland Sutton is “being limited as part of the team’s ‘protocols’ for the veteran wide receiver.”

Sutton did not practice at all over the past two days. He participated in a walkthrough and individual drills today, but sat out team drills. Broncos coach Sean Payton says he is not dealing with an injury, and Sutton said the protocol was set in place due to the fatigue that set in late last year. It sounds like this really is all part of a management plan for the 30-year-old veteran. He warrants FLEX treatment, entering his new role as the Broncos’ WR2.
