What happened: Denver opened the practice window for rookie running back Jonah Coleman by designating him for return from injured reserve. The designation follows his placement on injured reserve Sept. 26 while managing an ankle injury.

Why it matters: Coleman gives Denver fresh depth at running back after missing four weeks. The fourth-round rookie had carved out early work before the ankle injury stalled his debut season.

By the numbers: Draft: fourth round, 108th overall, out of Washington in 2026. Placed on injured reserve Sept. 26; designated for return Oct. 21.

What to watch: Denver can activate Coleman within the 21-day window. His practice participation will determine game-day availability.
