Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins believed to have significant foot injury, could be placed on injured reserve

J.K. Dobbins can shake defenders, but not the injury bug.

The Denver Broncos running back is believed to be out for the foreseeable future with a significant foot injury, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Friday.

Dobbins is working through his options but being placed on injured reserve, which would force him out for at least the next four games, remains a possibility, per Rapoport and Pelissero.

The Broncos ruled Dobbins out for Sunday’s game versus the Chiefs.

Dobbins going on IR would mean he’ll have missed multiple games in each of his last five seasons and at least one game dating back to his 2020 rookie season with the Baltimore Ravens in which he played 15 out of a possible 16.

Injury woes have followed the talented running back in every one of his NFL stops, beginning with Baltimore, where he missed 43 games over four regular seasons, including all of the 2021 campaign. In his solo season with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024, Dobbins missed four games.
