The Denver Broncos have officially ruled out running back J.K. Dobbins for their AFC Championship Game clash against the New England Patriots. This decision comes as Dobbins continues to recover from a foot injury that has kept him sidelined since Week 10.
Earlier this week, the Broncos designated Dobbins to return from injured reserve, which sparked hope among fans and teammates alike that he might contribute in the playoffs. However, despite this positive development, the team confirmed that he would not be in uniform for the crucial matchup scheduled for Sunday.
In the wake of Dobbins” absence, the Broncos have leaned heavily on rookie RJ Harvey, who is expected to carry the load in the backfield once again. The team still holds out hope for Dobbins” return should they advance to the Super Bowl, especially since a bye week following this game would provide him with additional time to heal.
The Broncos face a tough challenge against the Patriots, as they look to solidify their place in the playoffs without one of their key offensive players. Meanwhile, quarterback Bo Nix has also been dealing with injury concerns, adding to the challenges the team must navigate in this high-stakes game.
