Broncos promote safety to active roster after losing RJ Harvey to injured reserve

After placing running back RJ Harvey (knee) on injured reserve on Saturday, the Denver Broncos filled his former spot on the active roster by promoting safety Taylor Rapp from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. Rapp had been elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster in each of the last two weeks to help replace Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), who is set to miss his third consecutive game this weekend. Rapp has now been fully promoted to the active roster after playing well in Hufanga's absence. Harvey will now be ruled out for at least the next four games. Denver elevated running back Cody Schrader from the practice squad to the game-day roster for Sunday as a short-term fix, but the Broncos will likely need to add a running back to the 53-man roster during Harvey's absence. Such a roster move could come next week, ahead of the NFL's trade deadline on Nov. 10.
