J.K. Dobbins Awaits Second Opinion After Apparent Hip-Drop Tackle in Broncos’ Win

League review of Raiders defender Tyree Wilson is in play based on recent fines for similar hits.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Dobbins suffered a foot injury and is seeking a second opinion after the third‑quarter tackle.
  • Officials did not throw a flag on the play, drawing scrutiny over enforcement of the league’s hip-drop ban.
  • Dobbins finished the game with 18 carries for 77 yards and one catch for seven yards as Denver moved to 8-2.
  • He posted an explicit message on X urging the NFL to ban or consistently call the hip-drop tackle.
  • Rookie RJ Harvey handled snaps during Dobbins’ evaluation and would be the immediate replacement if he misses time.
