Broncos Lose Star RB Dobbins to Significant Foot Injury, Playoff Hopes Uncertain
15 Nov
Summary
- Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffers significant foot injury, out "for the foreseeable future"
- Dobbins could miss 4+ games if placed on IR, including key matchups against Chiefs, Commanders, Raiders, Packers
- Rookie RB RJ Harvey to take on heavier workload in Dobbins' absence
On November 15, 2025, the Denver Broncos received devastating news regarding their star running back J.K. Dobbins. According to reports, Dobbins sustained a significant foot injury during the team's Week 10 victory over the Raiders and is now "believed to be out for the foreseeable future."
If Dobbins is placed on injured reserve, he would be required to miss at least the next 4 games, sidelining him for crucial matchups against the Washington Commanders, Las Vegas Raiders, and Green Bay Packers. This injury blow comes at a critical juncture for the 8-2 Broncos, who are set to face the 5-4 Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.
In Dobbins' absence, the Broncos will turn to rookie running back RJ Harvey to shoulder a heavier workload. Harvey has shown promise this season, amassing 214 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns, along with 175 receiving yards and 4 scores. The Broncos' backfield also includes Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin, but the loss of Dobbins, who has 772 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns this year, will undoubtedly be a significant setback for the team's offense.
As the Broncos navigate this challenging situation, their playoff aspirations hang in the balance. The team must now find a way to overcome Dobbins' absence and maintain their position in the AFC West standings.
