What happened: Denver's backfield has drawn praise entering the 2026 season. The initial 53-man roster includes Tyler Badie, Jonah Coleman, J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

Why it matters: The group gives Denver four options at a position that often demands rotation across a full season. Coleman is the unit's newcomer, while the other three were on the roster a year ago.

By the numbers: Denver kept four running backs on its initial 53-man roster: Badie, Coleman, Dobbins and Harvey.

What to watch: Denver's early-season workload distribution will show how the four-back group is used.
