Latest
J.K. Dobbins’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. His history is long: a 2021 torn ACL, a 2023 torn Achilles, a 2024 knee injury and a 2025 Lisfranc foot injury that needed season-ending surgery.
This season he left the Sept. 20 win over Jacksonville with a hip injury but practiced fully by Sept. 24 and drew no Week 3 game status, per DenverBroncos.com. He had 18 carries for 72 yards through Denver’s first two games, per Pro Football Reference. Rookie Jonah Coleman has been on IR since Sept. 26.
Fantasy Action: Dobbins is an early-down RB2/flex who splits work with RJ Harvey; his modest yards per carry, limited receiving role and injury history cap his upside.
