Overview

  • Dobbins injured his left foot on a hip-drop tackle by Raiders defender Tyree Wilson in Week 10, then returned to finish the game.
  • He is seeking a second medical opinion as Denver assesses the injury, and Sean Payton said "nothing's been decided" on injured reserve.
  • The running back was a listed non-participant on Wednesday and Thursday, putting his Week 11 status against the Chiefs in doubt.
  • Rookie RJ Harvey is set for expanded duties, with Payton saying he will get more opportunities, while Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie round out the depth and Deuce Vaughn remains on the practice squad.
  • Dobbins has 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns through 10 games, and the hip-drop incident has renewed scrutiny of enforcement of the banned tackle.
