Dobbins suffered a serious Lisfranc injury in Week 10, and he likely won't be able to return this season unless the Broncos reach the Super Bowl. Other players on IR, such as linebacker Drew Sanders ( foot ) and guard Ben Powers ( biceps ), might be able to return sometime during the regular season.
J.K. Dobbins weighed in amid comments about his status following the Denver Broncos’ win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph’s group in three games against Patrick Mahomes and company the past two seasons has held the Chiefs to 1 of 10 in the red zone. That’s a big part of the reason Denver ended its long losing streak to Kansas City in 2023 and came within a blocked field goal of winning at Arrowhead Stadium last year.

J.K. Dobbins has been on of the best parts of the 2025 season for the Denver Broncos, but a new update threatens to undo all of that.

Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins took to social media to send a message to his supporters and doubters about being on injured reserve.
Overshadowed by the Dobbins news, it flew a bit under the radar that Denver also waived wide receiver Trent Sherfield. Following multiple injuries at linebacker, the Broncos activated linebacker Garret Wallow from IR to the 53-man roster, and Sherfield was cut to make room for Wallow's return.
