Chargers Place J.K. Dobbins on Injured Reserve After Knee Injury

The running back will miss at least four games with an MCL sprain as Los Angeles navigates a playoff push.

J.K. Dobbins suffered an MCL sprain during the Chargers' 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.
The 25-year-old running back, a key contributor this season, has been placed on injured reserve and will miss a minimum of four games.
Dobbins had amassed 900 all-purpose yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games, averaging 4.8 yards per carry and ranking fourth in the AFC in rushing yards.
Gus Edwards is expected to take over as the lead running back in Dobbins' absence, with the Chargers holding a 7-4 record and currently in playoff contention.
This injury is the latest in a series of setbacks for Dobbins, who has struggled with health issues in previous seasons, including a torn Achilles and ACL.
