RJ Harvey avoided major rib injury, but Broncos keeping eye on rookie workload

RJ Harvey plunged into the middle of Green Bay’s defense in the fourth quarter Sunday and ended up at the bottom of a pile.

Packers defensive lineman Karl Brooks and Denver tight end Nate Adkins both hoisted themselves off the ground, and when Harvey finally got up, he grabbed under his shoulder pads on his left side and exited the game.

The rookie running back did not return over Denver’s final nine offensive snaps in a 31-24 win, though he avoided any serious issue and was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice as Denver (12-2) prepares to host Jacksonville (10-4) Sunday.
