Overview
- Denver placed its leading rusher on injured reserve Saturday, and the foot injury requires surgery that ESPN reports has likely ended his season unless the team reaches the Super Bowl.
- The injury was sustained on an unflagged hip-drop tackle by Raiders defensive end Tyree Wilson during Denver’s Week 10 win.
- Dobbins has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs, and the IR designation guarantees a minimum four-game absence.
- Through 10 games, Dobbins logged 153 carries for 772 yards and four rushing touchdowns, ranking among the NFL leaders.
- Coach Sean Payton said rookie R.J. Harvey will handle a larger workload, with Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie also in the backfield mix.
