Broncos Rule Out J.K. Dobbins With Significant Foot Injury, Extended Absence Expected

Denver turns to rookie RJ Harvey with an IR decision looming that could trigger a minimum four-game absence.

Overview

  • Dobbins was officially ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs after missing practice all week with a left-foot injury.
  • NFL Network reports describe the injury as significant and say he is believed to be out for the foreseeable future, with injured reserve under consideration.
  • If placed on IR before Sunday, Dobbins must miss at least four games, making a Week 16 return the earliest possible timeline.
  • Rookie RJ Harvey is set to handle lead-back duties after earning praise from Sean Payton and teammates; Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin provide depth.
  • The injury occurred on a hip-drop tackle against the Raiders, and Denver also ruled out Pat Surtain II, Alex Singleton, Jonah Elliss and Nate Adkins for the 8-2 Broncos’ matchup with the 5-4 Chiefs.
