  "account": "Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey was placed on short-term injured reserve after suffering a knee injury during practice earlier this week, according to a report by the Associated Press. The 22-year-old, who was drafted in the second round last year, has already scored 12 touchdowns in his rookie season. Harvey's injury occurred during practice 48 hours prior to the announcement of his injury status. The Broncos, currently sitting at a 5-2 record, made several other roster adjustments, including promoting veteran safety Taylor Rapp from the practice squad to replace injured starter Talanoa Hufanga, who is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a knee injury. Additionally, running back Cody Schrader and offensive lineman Gavin Ortega were elevated to active status. The team also confirmed that four other starters - defensive tackle Zach Allen, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, left tackle Garett Bolles, and safety Brandon Jones - are listed as questionable for the next game.",
