"Dobbins, who did not practice all week, was formally ruled out Friday, as was linebacker Alex Singleton, the team's leading tackler, and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II. Singleton had surgery Monday to remove a cancerous tumor from his testicle and could miss multiple weeks. Surtain will miss his third game with a pectoral injury. Dobbins, who leads Denver in rushing with 772 yards while averaging 5.0 yards per carry, injured his foot last week against the Raiders."
"It all puts rookie RJ Harvey, a second-round pick by Denver, in the lead back role. Through 10 games, Harvey has 50 carries for 214 yards with 25 receptions. He also has the team's longest run this season -- 50 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. "Definitely excited to showcase my running ability ... (but) whatever Coach wants me to do, I'm willing to do,'' Harvey said Friday. "It's going to be fun on Sunday.''"
