Gus Edwards Injury News

J.K. Dobbins Active, Kimani Vidal A Healthy Scratch

J.K. Dobbins Active, Kimani Vidal A Healthy Scratch

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.

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Texans. He got in three limited practices this week, so we're expecting him to play. RB Gus Edwards (knee) is off the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Thursday. He looks like the healthier of the two RBs heading into this one. Dobbins remains the better fantasy bet, but this figures to be a split backfield on Saturday.

Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) got in a limited practice on Tuesday. It looks like he has a shot to return for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Texans. We'll keep tabs on Edwards' progress over the next few days. He's not an exciting fantasy option in any format but would put a dent in RB J.K. Dobbins' value.

Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. That could have RB J.K. Dobbins in for a significant workload. But if the Steelers beat the Bengals on Saturday, the Chargers’ game will be meaningless – which could obviously impact Dobbins’ workload. We’ll keep an eye on the situation.

In his first game since Week 12, Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins posted 76 yards and 1 TD on 19 attempts. With Gus Edwards sidelined, Dobbins led the team in snaps (42) and routes (17).
