Broncos’ Dobbins Out for Season with Foot Injury
DENVER, CO – The Denver Broncos suffered a significant blow to their offense as running back J.K. Dobbins will be placed on injured reserve and undergo season-ending foot surgery, sources told ESPN. Dobbins, the team’s leading rusher with 772 yards, sustained the injury during a Week 10 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders as the result of a hip-drop tackle.
The injury puts an abrupt halt to Dobbins’ fifth season and comes at an unfortunate time as he is set to become a free agent after this season. However, sources indicate that he is expected to make a full recovery.
With Dobbins sidelined, rookie RJ Harvey, a second-round pick, is now expected to step into the lead back role. Harvey has accumulated 214 yards on 50 carries, in addition to 25 receptions, through the first ten games, and boasts the team’s longest run of the season with a 50-yard burst against the Tennessee Titans.
The Broncos are also expected to utilize Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie in the running back rotation. Badie has seen action in up-tempo offensive sets and long-yardage situations.
The Broncos coaching staff will now look to these remaining players to bolster the team’s ground game as they push forward into the second half of the season.
