Denver Broncos J.K. Dobbins to Miss Several Games Due to Foot SurgeryDenver Broncos head coach Sean Payton recently hinted at a possible return for running back J.K. Dobbins, though not anytime soon. Dobbins underwent foot surgery earlier this month, leading to initial concerns about his availability for the rest of the current season. His placement on injured reserve means he wont be eligible to play until at least week sixteen, when the Broncos face the Jacksonville Jaguars.Dobbins has been having a strong season for the Broncos, rushing for seven hundred seventy-two yards and scoring four touchdowns, averaging seventy-seven point two yards per game, which is a career high for him. However, injuries have unfortunately been a recurring issue for the twenty-six-year-old running back throughout his career. Since joining the NFL in two thousand twenty, hes only played in forty-seven games.The Broncos will be relying on R.J. Harvey to step up, and backup Jaleel McLaughlin is also expected to see an increased workload. While a return for Dobbins before the postseason would be a welcome surprise, the team is preparing to move forward without him for the immediate future. The focus now shifts to how the remaining running backs will perform and if they can maintain the teams momentum as they head into the final stretch of the season.
