Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins’ season is likely over after sustaining a foot injury that will require surgery and placement on injured reserve, ESPN reported Saturday.
Dobbins, 26, suffered the injury after a hip-drop tackle in Denver’s 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10.
Dobbins, whose 772 rushing yards this season leads the Broncos, signed a one-year deal with the Broncos after coming off his best season in 2024 with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The oft-injured back rushed for a career-high 905 yards and tied a career high with nine rushing touchdowns in 13 games (11 starts) in his lone season with the Chargers.
In parts of five seasons spanning 47 games (30 starts), Dobbins has rushed for 3,024 yards and 25 TDs, along with 70 receptions for 367 yards and one score for the Baltimore Ravens (2020-23), Chargers, and Broncos.
Since entering the league in 2020, Dobbins is second among NFL running backs in yards per carry (minimum 500 attempts) at 5.2, trailing only Jahmyr Gibbs.
