Dobbins Returns to Broncos, Chasing Injury-Free Season

0:00On April 17, JK Dobbins lit up the field for the Denver Broncos early in the 2025 season, rushing for 772. Yards and four touchdowns over his first 10 games, but a foot injury knocked him out for the final nine regular season games plus two playoff matchups, putting a damper on a promising run. Now the Broncos just resigned him, betting on his talent despite the setback. Dobbins has battled injuries his whole career. Last year with the Los Angeles Chargers, he missed four games after a strong start. Before that, over four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, he sat out 43 games total, always showing flashes but never staying fully healthy. Broncos' general manager, George Patton, sees the upside clear as day. At 27 years old, Dobbins is back to full health now. Patton called the injury a freak from a hip-drop tackle, nothing that broke down his body long-term. He said Dobbins transformed the locker room vibe from day one and ranked as a top four rusher league-wide before going down.

1:03The team couldn't let a guy like that walk. Dobbins meant too much to the squad, so they brought him back to build on that momentum. Looking ahead, Dobbins chases his first full injury free NFL season, ready to carry the Broncos deeper into the playoffs if he stays on the field.
