Denver Football Club's Current Situation
Broncos' Rookies Shine in Joint Practice with San Francisco
Two rookies, RJ Harvey and Michael Bandy, have been making waves in the Denver Broncos' training camp, particularly during the team's joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers.
RJ Harvey, listed as the Broncos' RB2 behind JK Dobbins, has shown promise since his early placement as RB5. Despite this, his role in practice and the preseason game indicates that he is a promising runner to watch. Harvey, wearing jersey number 37, was actively involved in the Broncos' recent joint practice and preseason game against the 49ers [1][2].
Michael Bandy, a wide receiver, is ranked behind Marvin Mims Jr. and Troy Franklin on the Broncos' unofficial 2025 depth chart but ahead of some other receivers. He wore jersey number 83 in the preseason game against the 49ers [3][4][5]. Bandy's presence on the depth chart and in the preseason game suggests he is a significant contributor among the Broncos' wide receivers, getting opportunities to showcase his skills in joint practices and game situations.
Although the specifics of their performances in the joint practice are not widely reported, their inclusion in critical depth chart positions and active participation in recent preseason matchups imply that both RJ Harvey and Michael Bandy are making valuable contributions to the Broncos' offense during training camp and joint practices against the 49ers.
Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi has expressed excitement about the Broncos' receiver room, mentioning Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Trent Sherfield, and Pat Bryant. Lombardi also praised Troy Franklin's performance and expressed his bullishness on the receiver room [6][7].
Meanwhile, the Broncos' offensive line has shown good depth, with players like Alex Palczewski, Matt Peart, Alex Forsyth, Calvin Throckmorton, and several young players competing for spots. On the defensive side, OLB Que Robinson returned to practice after recovering from a knee injury.
Unfortunately, several players were absent from team work during practice due to injuries, including WR A.T. Perry, WR Greenlaw, ILB Singleton, ILB Sanders, and ILB Dre Greenlaw. Additionally, RB JK Dobbins, LG Ben Powers, and DLs Malcolm Roach and John Franklin-Myers did not participate in practice, possibly due to veteran rest days.
The Broncos and 49ers will face off again in their next joint practice, where RJ Harvey is expected to play, continuing to showcase his potential as a promising rookie running back.
