Ready for Week 1 Head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Dobbins is "moving well" and on track to play Week 1 against the Chiefs on Monday, Sept. 14, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports...

Impact Dobbins' practice participation in training camp was limited by a soft-tissue injury, which also caused the veteran running back to be held out of all three of the Broncos' preseason games out of caution. There's no indication that the issue is long-term, and Dobbins heads into Week 1 leading a backfield group that also consists of RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie and rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman. Dobbins signed a two-year deal with the Broncos in March following his 2025 campaign with the Chargers, when he turned 153 carries into 772 yards (5.0 YPC) and four touchdowns while adding 11 catches (on 14 targets) for 37 yards across 10 regular-season games.

Doesn't play Friday Dobbins did not play in the Broncos' 33-13 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday.

Impact With Dobbins observing Friday's exhibition contest in street clothes, it was RJ Harvey who drew the start while Jaleel McLaughlin and Cody Schrader led all Broncos running backs in offensive snaps. Dobbins was cleared to return to practice earlier this week after recovering from a soft-tissue injury, but it's unclear whether he'll play in the Broncos' preseason finale against the Vikings this Friday. The 2020 second-rounder figures to be the Broncos' top option out of the backfield this season, with Harvey and rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman also in the mix for reps.

Broncos HC Sean Payton has 2-word response to team's stance on J.K. Dobbins potentially playing in preseason Week 3 Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins suffered an injury scare after he left training camp due to a soft tissue issue earlier this month.

AUGUST 22 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Suited up in full pads Tuesday Dobbins (undisclosed) was in full pads for Tuesday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Dobbins left last Monday's session due to what eventually was termed a soft-tissue injury by coach Sean Payton, and he's subsequently been able to work since then, with Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com noting that the running back looked sharp Tuesday during drills. Looking ahead, Dobbins is on track to reprise his role at the top of a Denver backfield that also includes 2025 second-rounder RJ Harvey and 2026 fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman. As long as he can stay healthy, Dobbins should see enough of a workload to merit fantasy lineup attention, but the continued presence of Harvey, who will also see his share of touches, as well as Coleman possibly emerging as a factor, are variables that could hamper Dobbins' weekly ceiling.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Takes part in Monday's session Dobbins (undisclosed) participated in Monday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Dobbins left last Monday's session due to what eventually was termed a soft-tissue injury by coach Sean Payton. The issue didn't stop Dobbins from taking part in individual drills last Tuesday and Wednesday, but the Broncos held him out of Friday's preseason contest in Atlanta. Assuming he continues to make progress, he may be a consideration to play in this Friday's exhibition contest against the Packers.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Not in uniform Friday Dobbins isn't in line to play in Friday's preseason game in Atlanta, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Dobbins made an early exit from practice Monday due to a soft-tissue injury, and while he went through individual drills Tuesday and Wednesday, the Broncos will exercise caution with their presumed top running back. His next chance for exhibition action is next Friday versus the Packers.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Practices again Wednesday Dobbins, who was forced out of Monday's practice with a soft-tissue injury, was present for Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Dobbins went through individual drills during Tuesday's session, and his continued presence on the field a day later is a good sign ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons. That said, we'd be surprised to see the running back get any reps in that contest, given that the Broncos plan to hold a number of starters out of the game, per Stevens.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

J.K. Dobbins' stern message to Broncos media should fire up every single fan J.K. Dobbins was back at practice on Tuesday after leaving on Monday, and it's clear that the Denver Broncos' RB hears all the noise.

AUGUST 12 • PREDOMINANTLYORANGE.COM

Works in individual drills Tuesday Dobbins, who left practice early Monday with soft-tissue injury, went through individual drills during Tuesday's session, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Dobbins' quick return to work after leaving Monday's practice with a trainer signals that his issue was minor, though it remains to be seen if he'll see action in Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons. As the coming campaign approaches, Dobbins is slated to reprise his key role in a Denver backfield that also includes 2025 second-rounder RJ Harvey and rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman. The key for Dobbins in terms of his fantasy utlity is staying healthy, giving his injury history. Moreover, Harvey will no doubt see his share of touches, with Coleman also a candidate to mix in, even if Dobbins heads into Week 1 as the team's de facto starter.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Back in pads Tuesday Dobbins (undisclosed) is dressed for Tuesday's practice after making an early exit Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Dobbins has a lengthy injury history, but it doesn't sound like this latest incident will be a significant chapter. That said, the Broncos could limit Dobbins at Tuesday's practice, after coach Sean Payton told reporters Monday that the RB had suffered a soft-tissue injury. It's apparently minor, with Dobbins avoiding missed practice time for now.

Broncos' J.K. Dobbins leaves practice on Monday with 'soft tissue' injury The Denver Broncos have been dealing with an abnormal amount of soft tissues injuries this camp. J.K. Dobbins suffered one on Monday.

AUGUST 10 • PREDOMINANTLYORANGE.COM

Soft-tissue injury; expected to be be fine Coach Sean Payton noted Monday that Dobbins has a soft tissue injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Dobbins left Monday's practice with a trainer, with his exit due to an unspecified soft-tissue injury. Per DiLalla, Payton thinks that the running back will be fine, but it looks like Dobbins' practice participation could be impacted ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons. If that's the case, added practice reps will be available for RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman and Jaleel McLaughlin.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Monday's practice with trainers Dobbins exited Monday's practice alongside the training staff with an undisclosed injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact The good news is Dobbins jogged into the locker room, but other than that there isn't any news on what the running back is dealing with health-wise. RJ Harvey and rookie Jonah Coleman figure to handle the bulk of the first-team reps while Dobbins is tending to his issue.
