Sean Payton Provides Injury Update on Broncos RB JK Dobbins
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins left Monday's training camp practice with an injury, accompanied by trainers.
Running back J.K. Dobbins of the Denver Broncos exited Monday's training camp practice with a soft tissue injury, followed by medical personnel. Head coach Sean Payton provided an injury update to reporters after the practice session. Payton stated that Dobbins should recover fully, emphasizing that the team is being cautious in handling the situation.
Dobbins, who has a history of injury problems, has missed at least 15 regular-season games since his rookie year with the Baltimore Ravens in 2020. In the previous season, he was sidelined for seven games due to a Lisfranc foot injury sustained in Week 10. After a disappointing stretch from 2021 to 2023, where he appeared in just nine games, Dobbins returned to form during the 2024 season with the Los Angeles Chargers, rushing for a career-high 905 yards and nine touchdowns in 13 games.
Prior to his injury last season, Dobbins had collected 772 yards and four touchdowns as the Broncos' starting running back. The roster of backup running backs in Denver includes RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman, and Jaleel McLaughlin. The team is set to face the Atlanta Falcons in their preseason opener on Friday night, with their regular-season campaign kicking off with a Week 1 game against the Kansas City Chiefs on September 14.
