J.K. Dobbins Foot Injury Seems Worse Than Initially Thought

By Matt Schauf | Updated on Fri, Nov 7 2025 10:35 PM UTC

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.

What They're Saying

Dobbins right after the game: "I just got hip-dropped. I'm good. Yeah, I'm good. Had a little limp there, but it wasn't bad. I'm all good. The hip-drop shoulda been called, though."

Dobbins on X on Friday: "BAN OR ATLEAST CALL THE M***** F***** HIP DROP TACKLE!"

I don't have any extra info on the situation. But just the two direct quotes from the player seem to indicate:

He felt right after the game like he'd be fine.
He got really bad news upon examination the next day.

We'll watch for further details on Dobbins' injury and potential missed time.

Should he miss games, Denver would be forced to play rookie RB RJ Harvey more than they clearly want to.

Harvey logged just four carries and three targets in the win over the Raiders. He played 17 snaps (28% of the team's total), which fell much closer to No. 3 RB Tyler Badie (13) than Dobbins (32).

Denver hosts Kansas City in Week 11 and then gets a Week 12 bye.
