Dobbins, who exited Sunday's 20-13 win over the Jaguars due to a hamstring injury, is expected to practice this week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dobbins logged 21 snaps and carried 10 times for 36 yards Sunday before checking out of the game late in the third quarter when the hamstring issue cropped up. Initial evaluations on Dobbins' hamstring indicated that he avoided any sort of major injury, and he looks like he'll have a chance at suiting up this weekend against the Rams if he continues to make progress over the next few days. The Broncos will issue their first Week 3 injury report later Wednesday, when the extent of Dobbins' participation in practice will be revealed.

Harvey is continuing to make progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for the Broncos' Week 2 win over the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Harvey appears to have made some improvement heading into Week 3, but his practice participation Wednesday through Friday will ultimately determine whether he plays this Sunday against the Rams. The top three running backs on the Denver depth chart are all tending to injuries, as starter J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) made an early exit from this past Sunday's game, while rookie Jonah Coleman emerged from the contest with an ankle sprain.

Coleman is tending to a sprained ankle, which he sustained in Sunday's 20-13 win over Jacksonville, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

With RJ Harvey (hamstring) sitting out the Week 2 win and with J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) missing the entire fourth quarter, Coleman took on an expanded role out of the backfield, finishing with 58 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 13 touches (10 carries, three receptions). He appears to have emerged from that game with a health concern of his own, making the practice activity of each of Denver's top three running backs worthy of monitoring leading up this coming Sunday's game versus the Rams. According to Schefter, Harvey is making good progress in his recovery, while Dobbins avoided a major setback and is expected to practice in some capacity this week.

Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that Kolar (forearm) won't play Sunday in Buffalo but is expected to avoid placement on injured reserve, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

After undergoing surgery on his fractured left forearm Monday, Kolar had been expected to head to injured reserve and return after missing the minimum four games. However, Harbaugh noted that Kolar ended up receiving a more favorable prognosis than expected once surgery was completed, and the Chargers are now optimistic that the 27-year-old can return to action prior to their Week 7 bye. Kolar will still need to miss at least one game, and with David Njoku (fibula) still ticketed for IR, Oronde Gadsden appears likely to operate as Los Angeles' clear No. 1 tight end for Week 3.

Jones (undisclosed) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

After the Vikings placed Jordan Mason (thumb) on IR last week, Jones was the team's unquestioned lead runner during a 9-3 win at Chicago this past Sunday, taking 23 carries for 105 yards. However, with Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reporting that Jones isn't a sure thing for a Week 3 road matchup with the Buccaneers due to a knee injury, his status is up in the air for Sunday. At the moment, DeeJay Dallas and rookie Demond Claiborne represent Minnesota's healthy RBs on the active roster.

Moore (shoulder) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice while wearing a red non-contact jersey, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Moore made an early exit from the Bills' Week 2 win over the Lions due to an AC joint sprain, logging just 23 snaps while finishing with no targets and one carry for minus-1 yard during his limited time on the field. Though he appears set to go down as a limited practice participant on the Bills' first Week 3 injury report, Moore's presence on the field is generally a positive sign for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Chargers.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn implied that Okonkwo (hamstring) will be a non-participant for Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Quinn noted that Okonkwo will be in rehab mode to kick off Week 3 prep, which suggests that the tight end won't mix into drills Wednesday. Okonkwo is still tending to a hamstring injury that kept him from playing during this past Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Collins (hamstring) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Since injuring his hamstring at practice last Wednesday, Collins hasn't logged any notable on-field work, which lines up with a report from Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston that the wide receiver may miss two games as a result. Collins likely will need to mix into drills at some point by week's end in order to have a chance to suit up Sunday at Indianapolis.

Head coach Klint Kubiak said Bowers (knee) will practice Wednesday and termed the tight end "day-to-day," Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Bowers has missed the first two games of the season due to a meniscus trim that he underwent in his left knee on Sept. 8, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity last Friday and is continuing to practice to begin Week 3 prep. Wednesday's injury report will reveal his activity level as he puts the procedure further in the rearview mirror.

Coach Ben Johnson said Bagent (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Bagent was placed in concussion protocol Tuesday and isn't at the Bears' facility Wednesday as a result, making it unlikely that he's a candidate to be available for Monday's game against the Eagles. No. 1 QB Caleb Williams also isn't practicing Wednesday due to the strained right hamstring he suffered this past Sunday versus the Vikings. As the healthiest QB on the active roster, veteran Case Keenum is working with the first-team offense at Wednesday's unofficial session.
