On the Denver Broncos' opening possession vs. the Green Bay Packers, rookie running back RJ Harvey was stripped of the ball, turning it over. It was the first fumble of his career, coming in his 14th NFL game.

RJ Harvey avoided a serious ribs injury late in Sunday’s game vs. Packers, but he’s carried a heavy load in recent weeks.

The Denver Broncos received encouraging news on rookie running back RJ Harvey this week. As the Denver Post reported, the team appears set to take a cautious approach with his workload as the season enters a critical stretch.

Tackle Mike McGlinchey (neck), wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (biceps), inside linebacker Karene Reid (hamstring) and center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) were also full participants.

Now, some good news: RJ Harvey's rib injury does not seem to be serious, based on the Klis story. The 9News insider indicated that Strnad is the "other injury the Broncos are concerned about" after Jones. That presumably means the team is not concerned about Harvey, at least not to the extent of Strnad or Jones.

That hope finally paid off, as RJ Harvey had his best game as a pro in the Broncos' 24-17 victory to secure the sweep over the Las Vegas Raiders. Harvey ran the ball in Vegas 17 times for 75 yards with a touchdown, while adding six catches on six targets for 25 yards.

Sean Payton’s trust in RJ Harvey continues to grow as Denver prepares for Green Bay, creating a pivotal fantasy decision in Week 15.

Things are starting to click for RJ Harvey at a perfect time for the Broncos. "He can do so many different things and do them well," Bo Nix said.
