Jonah Coleman injury: status and who’s next up

Latest report: Week 9

Jonah Coleman is not listed on the latest weekly injury report. He last carried a game designation in Week 7 (questionable, ankle).

Being absent from a report is not confirmation that a player is healthy; teams report only what league rules require.

Who is next up if Jonah Coleman misses time?

J.K. Dobbins

Published next man up

J.K. Dobbins

Denver's official inactives, published Nov. 8 at 9:32 a.m. for the Carolina game, list eight players and no running back, so Jonah Coleman, J.K. Dobbins and Cody Schrader are all active. Fact: Dobbins is healthy, carries no designation and is still Denver's leading rusher at 94 carries for 306 yards, so he is the obvious fallback if Coleman cannot go, with RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie both on injured reserve. Projected, not fact: the trend runs against him - he had 13 yards on seven carries and no targets in the Nov. 1 win over Kansas City while Coleman put up 104 scrimmage yards and the touchdown. Dobbins is widely rostered and gone in many leagues; the cheaper fallback is Cody Schrader, but his path is far thinner - elevated Oct. 31, no regular-season Denver carries, and he needs injuries to the two backs ahead of him.

This is a shared backfield: the preferred stash is not a promise of all the replacement touches.

Injury history

Rookie with no prior NFL injury history. High ankle sprain in the Week 2 win over Jacksonville on Sept. 20; he played through it, was DNP all three days, was ruled out for Week 3 and went on injured reserve Sept. 26. Activated Oct. 24 after four missed games, Questionable (ankle) for Week 7. No designation for Week 8 and he played a full Week 8 role, so the absence is closed.
