JK Dobbins Returns to Broncos Practice After Injury Scare
Denver Broncos veteran running back J.K. Dobbins returned to the practice field after an injury scare on Monday.
Veteran running back J.K. Dobbins returned to Denver Broncos practice after a brief injury scare on Monday. The 27-year-old suffered a minor soft tissue injury during Monday's session, leaving him to be escorted off the field by the team's medical staff. Dobbins' early exit raised concerns among Broncos fans, who were familiar with the running back's injury history.
However, Dobbins' enthusiasm in returning to practice on Tuesday quickly quelled those worries. The team's head coach, Sean Payton, noted Dobbins' strong recovery, while the player himself expressed his determination to remain healthy throughout the 2026 season. Earlier this month, Dobbins had assured reporters that he would be on the field for all 17 regular-season games in 2026.
Despite only playing at least 15 games since his rookie season with the Baltimore Ravens in 2020, Dobbins remains confident, stating that he aims to be the league's leading rusher for the entire 17-game campaign. The Broncos are set to kick off their 2026 regular season with a Week 1 game against the Kansas City Chiefs on September 14.
