Chargers' J.K. Dobbins to Miss Time with Knee Sprain

The running back's resurgent season is interrupted by injury, leaving his return timeline uncertain.

J.K. Dobbins suffered a sprained MCL during the Chargers' 30-23 loss to the Ravens on Monday night and will miss Sunday's game against the Falcons.
The injury occurred in the second quarter, with Dobbins exiting after posting 40 rushing yards on six carries and 19 receiving yards on three receptions.
Dobbins, who signed a one-year deal with the Chargers after an injury-plagued tenure with the Ravens, has been enjoying a career-best season with 766 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.
Gus Edwards is expected to take over as the Chargers' lead back, supported by rookie Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins in the backfield rotation.
The Chargers, currently 7-4 and in playoff contention, face a challenging upcoming schedule, including matchups with the Chiefs, Broncos, and Falcons, potentially without Dobbins.
