J.K. Dobbins, the Denver Broncos’ running back, may make a surprising comeback this season. Initially, Dobbins was projected to miss the remainder of the season following a foot injury sustained in Week 10. However, recent reports indicate that the Broncos have activated his practice window, offering a glimmer of hope for his return.
Practice Window Opens for Dobbins
Adam Schefter from ESPN reported that Dobbins is now allowed to practice with the team. This development could see him play in either the AFC Championship Game or Super Bowl LX, should the Broncos advance that far.
Dobbins’ Season Performance
Despite being sidelined for the last seven games, Dobbins led the Broncos in rushing. He totaled 153 carries for 772 yards this season. His impressive stats reflect his vital role in the team’s offense.
Current Running Back Situation
With Dobbins out, RJ Harvey has taken over as the primary back, supported by Jaleel McLaughlin. Unfortunately, both players struggled to make an impact in the recent game against the Bills.
Impact of Dobbins’ Return
- Dobbins’ return could significantly enhance the Broncos’ offensive capabilities.
- His presence would offer crucial support to quarterback Jarrett Stidham.
The Broncos are hopeful that Dobbins can contribute in the playoffs. His comeback would be a major boost for the team’s chances in the postseason.
