Jonah Coleman is beginning to carve out a larger role in Denver's backfield just as the Chiefs are trying to recover from an ugly defensive performance against Seattle.
The Denver Broncos placed RB R.J. Harvey on injured reserve on Oct. 31, sidelining him for at least four games and leaving the backfield short on a versatile receiving threat. With the NFL trade deadline looming, the injury could accelerate Denver’s pursuit of Colts star Jonathan Taylor, who leads the league with eight rushing touchdowns. The Broncos, whose ground game averages just 3.8 yards per carry, see Taylor as an elite three‑down back to bolster their playoff push, especially as the New York Giants appear to back away from the deal.
The Denver Broncos are set to play the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Running back RJ Harvey was already ruled out, and now the Broncos are placing him on the injured reserve, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. “The #Broncos are placing emerging RB R.J. Harvey on short-term IR as he recovers from the knee […] The post Broncos’ RJ Harvey gets IR update before Chiefs matchup appeared first on ClutchPoints .
NFL Insider Tom Pelissero reports that the Indianapolis Colts are fielding trade interest for running back Jonathan Taylor, but the franchise demands a premium return. The Colts turned down a 2027 second‑round pick plus an extra pick, signaling they hope for at least a first‑rounder—similar to the package the Panthers paid for Christian McCaffrey in 2022. Taylor, 27, is the team's 2nd‑all‑time rusher (8,185 yards, 77 TDs) and just signed a two‑year, $44 million extension. He currently totals 587 yards and eight touchdowns on 140 carries (4.2 YPC) in a 2‑5 season. Supects include the Bengals, Broncos, Packers, Vikings and Patriots, but Indianapolis says any offer must “blow them away.”
The Denver Broncos made a series of roster moves on Saturday for their Week 8 game against the Chiefs, according to Mike Klis.

The Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) will defend their first-place hold on the AFC West against the Denver Broncos (5-2) this Sunday, but they will do so without their prized rookie, and a two-time Super Bowl champion. Mansoor Delane has been ruled out with a shoulder injury, and fellow cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is going on injured […] The post Chiefs’ defense dealt huge blows for Broncos game appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Steelers promote wide receiver Brandon Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns, marking his third and final elevation this season. Johnson, 27, has seen limited action—three snaps vs. Tampa Bay and eight vs. New Orleans—and has yet to be targeted. Injuries keep starters Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson on IR, leaving backup Ben Skowronek questionable with a calf issue. The team also signs practice‑squad tight end Brandon Smith to the 53‑man roster. Johnson, an undrafted UCF alum, has 26 career receptions for 335 yards and five TDs across stints with Pittsburgh, the Broncos and the Raiders.
The Chiefs will face the Broncos without Mansoor Delane and L'Jarius Sneed, forcing major adjustments in the secondary.
The Cowboys activated S P.J. Locke and elevated TE James Mitchell from the practice squad. Locke, 29, signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent out of Texas in 2019. However, the Steelers waived him coming out of the preseason. He caught on with the Broncos’ practice squad later in the season and re-signed […] The post Cowboys Activated S P.J.

Seattle’s defense, under Mike Macdonald, has just shut down the Broncos (17 points) and the Chiefs (only three points) in back‑to‑back games, forcing quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes into modest totals. Now the Bears, 5‑2 and led by rising offensive mind Ben Johnson, arrive in Seattle. Johnson’s motion‑heavy, balanced attack will test Macdonald’s scheme, especially against quarterback Caleb Williams, whose pocket play is Seattle’s priority. The tight‑end battle—Chicago’s Colston Loveland (26 catches, 244 yards, 2 TDs) versus Seattle’s Ernest Jones—could also swing the outcome. The preview highlights how Seattle must keep Williams in the pocket while containing the Bears’ versatile offense.
But the Broncos' willingness to make a big trade such as one for Jonathan Taylor could ride on Sunday's result.
The Chiefs (5-1) host the Broncos (5-2) Sunday at 3:25 p.m. in Denver, a pivotal AFC West clash that could reshape the division race. The article highlights five key storylines: Broncos QB Bo Nix’s struggled down‑field passing and poor man‑coverage stats; Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s shaky season and the surprise signing of veteran Justin Tucker to challenge him; both squads’ third‑down efficiency—Denver boasts a strong defense but a weak offense, while Kansas City’s conversions sit in the middle of the pack; the Chiefs’ pass rush needing improvement; and additional matchup factors that could tip the balance. The game follows Kansas City’s first loss of the year (20‑3 to Seattle) and Denver’s recent 30‑16 win over Arizona.
After one of his worst performances in a Chiefs uniform, Patrick Mahomes heads to Denver with a complicated history of bouncing back from ugly outings.
The Kansas City Chiefs take a 5-1 record into Sunday’s rematch against the Denver Broncos. Three defensive players have questionable designations. Kansas City leads the AFC West, and its defense faces a tough divisional test. The Chiefs get a major boost as wide receiver Rashee Rice is set to return without a game designation.

The Indianapolis Colts are fielding serious trade interest for star running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says multiple teams—potentially the Seahawks, Packers, Giants, Broncos and Vikings—value Taylor at a “2+” package, likely a second‑round pick plus additional selections. However, the Colts already turned down a 2027 second‑rounder plus extra compensation, signaling they want a premium. Despite the chatter, Taylor is expected to play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and no deal is imminent.
The New York Giants, sitting 4-2-1 atop the NFC East ahead of Week 8, are exploring realistic running‑back upgrades before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. While Jonathan Taylor is a headline target, a new Athletic report cites three more attainable options: former Jaguars first‑round pick Travis Etienne Jr., who could be acquired for a 2028 fourth‑rounder; Saints depth piece Kendre Miller as a low‑cost addition; and Denver’s J.K. Dobbins, who may become available if the Broncos trade for a new back. The Giants aim to bolster the backfield without overpaying after recent roster moves.
At 37, and in his 14th NFL season, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had an injury scare during the Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Kelce suffered an ankle injury but managed to return for the remainder of the game and also suited up against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7.

Ahead of Week 8, the Chiefs host the Broncos in Kansas City. Mile High Report’s Ian St. Clair explains how Denver’s defense has tightened after a 31-10 opening loss, the ups and downs of quarterback Bo Nix—who threw two long TDs but still sits at a 59.2% completion rate—and how the Broncos plan to mimic Seattle’s scheme that limited the Chiefs to three points. St. Clair flags running back Jonah Coleman as the biggest ground threat and predicts a close, fourth‑quarter showdown that could swing AFC West momentum.
The Indianapolis Colts have turned their mid‑season overhaul into a full franchise rebuild and are now actively seeking to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor before the Nov. 10 deadline. Reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport say multiple contenders—including the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos—are in talks. Taylor, 27, carries a $15 million signing bonus and contracts through 2028 ($15 M in 2027, $9.46 M in 2028), making him a prime asset. Indianapolis aims to clear cap space and fetch a future second‑round pick plus late‑round selections, following recent moves that sent guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and DT DeForest Buckner to San Francisco.
The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to have Rashee Rice back in their receiving lineup. He missed the team’s previous two games with a hamstring injury. Rice is expected to play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday after returning to practice this week. His availability gives Patrick Mahomes another receiving option.

The Indianapolis Colts have turned open to trading star running back Jonathan Taylor as the NFL trade deadline nears. Sources citing ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport say multiple teams—including the Broncos, Packers, Vikings, Giants and Seahawks—are in active talks, but Indianapolis seeks a premium return after rejecting a 2027 second‑round pick offer. Taylor, who has amassed 587 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in a 2‑5 season, is expected to play against Jacksonville in Week 8 before any move materializes.
The Carolina Panthers stumble to a 3-4 start, prompting head coach Dave Canary to fire defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and passing‑game coach Jonathon Cooley after back‑to‑back defeats (43-13 vs Tampa Bay and a close loss to Green Bay on Oct. 29). A viral “how it started vs how it’s going” photo shows Canary looking drained, sparking fan memes about him aging “like Obama in his second term.” He names Todd Wash interim defensive coordinator and reshuffles the defensive staff while vowing to tighten run defense and protect rookie QB Bryce Young ahead of a Week 9 showdown with the Denver Broncos.
The Chiefs' upcoming rematch with the Broncos hinges on third‑down defense. In Week 1, Kansas City limited Denver to just 2 conversions on 12 attempts and stopped a fourth‑down try, but they have since struggled, surrendering 11 of 16 third downs to Seattle. Denver ranks 31st in third‑down efficiency (31.1%). Chiefs coach Steve Spagnuolo warns the unit must improve, while defensive tackle Chris Jones emphasizes tackling. Meanwhile, Mahomes welcomes Rashee Rice back after a productive stretch, and rookie Cyrus Allen seeks a larger role.
