Overview
- Dobbins, who suffered a Week 10 Lisfranc injury that required surgery, practiced on a limited basis in the 21-day return window but was ruled out for the AFC Championship Game.
- He told reporters he was very close to playing against New England and said he would have been 100 percent for the Super Bowl.
- Without Dobbins, Denver mustered 79 rushing yards in the 10-7 loss to the Patriots and averaged 104.6 rushing yards per game down the stretch, compared with 128.6 when he played.
- The 27-year-old finished his one-year, $2 million deal and will be an unrestricted free agent, declaring he wants to re-sign and calling himself a “Bronco for life.”
- Team decision-makers are evaluating whether to bring Dobbins back, lean on rookie RJ Harvey, or explore other free-agent options such as Breece Hall, with free agency set to open March 11.
