Overview
- Dobbins sustained a left-foot injury on a Week 10 tackle by Tyree Wilson and subsequently underwent surgery before Denver placed him on injured reserve.
- The NFL’s weekly fines list did not include Wilson, with the league determining the play was not an illegal hip-drop, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
- Officials did not flag the tackle during the game despite debate over whether it fit the rule’s prohibition on dropping hips onto a runner’s leg at or below the knee.
- Before the injury, Dobbins ranked fifth in rushing with 772 yards and was averaging five yards per carry in his first season with Denver.
- With Dobbins sidelined, the Broncos are expected to lean on rookie RJ Harvey, with Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie available for additional backfield duties.
