Denver Broncos rookie running back Jonah Coleman sustained a sprained ankle during his impressive Week 2 performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the 20-13 victory, Coleman tallied 10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown, which ultimately secured the win. This injury comes as the Broncos' backfield faces further complications with J.K.

Head coach Sean Payton acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the team's running back situation for Week 3. Coleman's notable performance also earned him a nomination for Pepsi's Rookie of the Week award, alongside his former Washington Huskies teammate Denzel Boston.
