Dobbins’ Injury Woes Continue; Broncos RB to Undergo Season-Ending Foot Surgery

DENVER, CO – The Denver Broncos have suffered a significant blow to their offense as running back J.K. Dobbins is expected to miss considerable time with a foot injury, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Saturday. According to sources, Dobbins will require season-ending surgery for a foot injury that has a ligament issue. The Broncos have already ruled him out for Sunday’s crucial AFC West matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

This latest setback continues a frustrating trend for Dobbins, who has struggled with injuries throughout his NFL career. He missed a significant number of games during his time with the Baltimore Ravens and also missed games last season with the Los Angeles Chargers.

“Dobbins can shake defenders, but not the injury bug,” NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Friday.

With Dobbins sidelined, the Broncos will rely more heavily on second-round pick RJ Harvey. Harvey, known for his receiving ability, will need to step up his rushing game. Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin may also see increased playing time.

Harvey has carried the ball 50 times for 214 yards and a pair of scores so far. He’ll be looked on to up his rushing numbers in a major way. Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin could also see some more reps at RB.

This injury is a tough blow for Dobbins, but a big opportunity for Harvey, beginning with the Broncos (8-2) facing Kansas City (5-4) on Sunday in a massive AFC West battle.
