J.K. Dobbins Out for Sunday’s Game Against Chiefs
J.K. Dobbins, the running back for the Broncos, faces a setback as he will miss Sunday’s game against the Chiefs due to a foot injury. The injury occurred during a game against the Raiders last Thursday night, prompting Dobbins to express frustration about the incident. He criticized the tackle he sustained, labeling it a hip-drop tackle.
Injury and Future Considerations
This latest injury is particularly concerning, as reports indicate that Dobbins may be sidelined for an extended period. There are discussions surrounding the potential for him to be placed on injured reserve, which would further impact the Broncos’ offense.
Current Performance Statistics
Despite the injury issues, Dobbins has shown impressive performance this season. Over ten games, he has accumulated 772 rushing yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry.
Next Steps for the Broncos
With Dobbins out, rookie R.J. Harvey is expected to step into the primary running back role. Harvey has contributed 214 rushing yards this season. Other running backs on the active roster include:
- Tyler Badie
- Jaleel McLaughlin
Additionally, Deuce Vaughn remains on the practice squad, providing depth for the team.
The Broncos will need to adapt quickly as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Chiefs without their star running back.
