Jonah Coleman expected to have bigger role for Broncos in Week 2
Summary

Jonah Coleman, a former Washington Huskies star, is set for an expanded role with the Denver Broncos in their Week 2 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coleman had minimal impact in his NFL debut, recording 27 yards on a kick return during a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, following an injury to running back R.J. Harvey, who was Denver's primary pass-catching back, Coleman’s opportunities are expected to increase. Coach Sean Payton has praised Coleman’s smart play and ability to adapt quickly at the professional level. Coleman acknowledges he is still in the learning phase of his career but aims to take on more responsibility in the upcoming game.
