Useful takeaways from this story.

J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey both returned to full practice on Thursday after limited work earlier in the week.

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua missed his fourth consecutive practice, making his availability for the game uncertain.

# Quick summary Thursday's practice report split good and concerning items. The Broncos got their two primary backs — J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey — back to full participation. That restores depth and game-planning flexibility. At the same time, Marvin Mims Jr. continued to be limited by a foot problem, and rookie running back Jonah Coleman was held out for the second straight day.

# What changed on Thursday Dobbins and Harvey: Both were listed as limited on Wednesday and moved to full participation on Thursday. That progression increases the likelihood both will be active on game day and available for normal reps in the offense.

Rams side: Puka Nacua did not practice for the fourth straight session, which makes his participation for Sunday night doubtful. Other Rams movement included Terrance Ferguson returning to full practice after a limited session, Alaric Jackson full, and Nate Landman listed as limited both days.

# Practical implications for the Broncos' game plan

  • Running back rotation: With Dobbins and Harvey back to full practice, the Broncos have the two primary backs available for standard roles. Expect the team to plan for their usual usage unless a late change appears on Friday.
  • Receiver availability: Mims practicing in a limited fashion suggests he could be available but possibly in a reduced role. If he's limited again or downgraded on Friday, the team will lean more on other receivers and short-yardage options.
  • Rookie Coleman: His absence both Wednesday and Thursday raises concern about his ankle. Treat him as questionable until Friday's final report.

# Notes on the Rams' report

# What to watch in Friday's report

  • Jonah Coleman's participation status — a second DNP increases the chance he won't play.

# Bottom line Thursday's practice report is mostly positive for the Broncos' backfield with Dobbins and RJ Harvey returning to full work. Receiver availability remains a question, with Marvin Mims limited and Jonah Coleman sidelined again. The Rams' biggest uncertainty is Puka Nacua, who missed another practice and appears unlikely to be available without an update on Friday.
