Overview

  • Dobbins said he hopes to "touch 100" rushing yards on Sunday in his first meeting with the Chargers since leaving in the offseason.
  • The Broncos back has opened 2025 with 30 carries for 139 yards and two touchdowns, including back-to-back games with 60-plus yards and a score.
  • He led the Chargers in 2024 with 905 rushing yards and nine touchdowns and finished as a finalist for NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
  • Dobbins said the sides "did not see eye-to-eye" on his value, noting L.A. placed an unrestricted free-agent tender that he found frustrating.
  • Los Angeles signed Najee Harris and drafted Omarion Hampton, moves reported to have influenced Dobbins’ exit before he joined Denver on a one-year, $5.25 million contract.
