Broncos Assign J.K. Dobbins to Injured Reserve
The Denver Broncos face a challenging situation as running back J.K. Dobbins is set to be placed on injured reserve. This decision follows reports confirming a foot injury sustained during the game against the Raiders.
Injury Details
Dobbins’ foot injury occurred last Thursday and is believed to have resulted from a hip-drop tackle. He is expected to undergo surgery, which could conclude his season prematurely. This news marks a significant setback for Dobbins, who had recently made a strong comeback after past injuries.
Impact on the Team
Dobbins had impressive seasons with both the Chargers and the Broncos following his recovery. Unfortunately, he is currently not under contract for the 2026 season, adding uncertainty to his future with the Broncos.
Next Steps for the Broncos
With Dobbins sidelined, the Broncos will rely on their depth at running back. They will turn to:
- Rookie RJ Harvey
- Tyler Badie
- Jaleel McLaughlin
This adjustment in the roster highlights the team’s need to adapt quickly as they navigate the remainder of the season without Dobbins.
