Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins took part in individual drills Tuesday, according to The Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson, before spending the rest of practice on the sideline. He's dealing with a soft-tissue injury he suffered Monday.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins left Monday's practice with what HC Sean Payton called a soft-tissue injury. Payton didn't offer any more details and didn't sound overly concerned, but this certainly bears monitoring with Dobbins' lengthy injury history.

The Broncos are nearing an agreement to re-sign RB J.K. Dobbins, according to beat writer Zac Stevens. Dobbins ran for 772 yards and four TDs on 5.0 yards per carry across 10 games for Denver last year. His season ended in Week 10 with a foot injury that required surgery, although it seemed like Dobbins had a chance to make it back had the Broncos reached the Super Bowl.

The Broncos are designating RB J.K. Dobbins to return from IR, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Dobbins will practice this week and "has a chance" to play vs. the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship, per Schefter. Dobbins has been sidelined since suffering a foot injury in Week 10 that required surgery. We'll keep an eye on his status throughout the week. We'd be surprised if he played a big role in his first action since early November, but his presence would certainly add downside to RB R.J. Harvey's fantasy profile.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins needs surgery for his foot injury and will likely miss the rest of the season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Dobbins suffered the foot injury on a hip-drop tackle during Denver's Week 10 win over the Raiders. NFL Network reports that it's a "ligament issue" and calls the surgery season-ending.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He’s dealing with a “significant” foot injury and is expected to be sidelined “for the foreseeable future,” NFL Network reports. We’ll see if Dobbins lands on IR on Saturday. His absence should mean an expanded early-down role for RB R.J. Harvey. Denver only has RBs Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin behind him. Harvey checks in 22nd in the Week 11 RB rankings in a tough matchup against Kansas City.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. While we don't have a firm update on Dobbins' injury, the tea leaves suggest he'll miss multiple games. That should mean an expanded early-down role for RB R.J. Harvey. Denver only has Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin behind him. Harvey gets a tough draw on Sunday against Kansas City's seventh-ranked RB defense, but the rookie sits 22nd in the Week 11 RB rankings.

IR is "being considered" for Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot), according to The Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson. Dobbins sought a second opinion on his foot injury, but we still haven't heard any further updates. If IR is even a possibility, though, it's likely that Dobbins will miss multiple games. IR would cost him at least four. Dobbins is worth keeping stashed as we await more information, but fantasy owners should at least plan on him missing Week 11. The Broncos then get a Week 12 bye. Dobbins' absence would likely mean a much bigger role for RB R.J. Harvey, particularly on early downs. The only other RBs on Denver's active roster are Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a left foot injury in Thursday night's win over the Raiders. He never sought treatment for it on the sideline, finished the game, and said afterward he was OK. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports, however, that Dobbins is "awaiting a second opinion" on the foot. You don't normally go seek that second opinion if the first doctor tells you you're fine.

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100%. RB Gus Edwards is also back from his knee injury for this one and figures to mix in behind Dobbins. RB Kimani Vidal is a healthy scratch, leaving Hassan Haskins as the No. 3 RB.
