Broncos' J.K. Dobbins Returns After Scare, Urges NFL Review of Unflagged Hip-Drop Tackle

His postgame call for a league review puts fresh focus on how the NFL polices hip-drop tackles.

Overview

  • Dobbins was hurt on a third-quarter play against the Raiders, received a sideline evaluation, and returned on the next drive.
  • Postgame, he said he was fine but asserted Raiders defender Tyree Wilson executed a hip-drop that should have drawn a penalty.
  • Officials did not flag the play during the game, and the league has not announced any discipline or review outcome.
  • Reported stat lines differ: an in-game update listed 12 carries for 52 yards before the scare, while later accounts list 18 for 77 with one 7-yard reception.
  • Denver won 10–7 to move to 8–2, with recent cases like Frankie Luvu’s fines and overturned suspension illustrating possible outcomes if the play is reviewed.
