J.K. Dobbins Designated To Return

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been designated to return from IR. He'll practice this week and is eligible to play vs. the Patriots on Saturday. Dobbins said a couple of weeks ago that he was on track to be ready for Week 17. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days. He'd settle in as a risk/reward RB3 if he ends up playing against New England -- and take RBs Gus Edwards and Kimani Vidal out of lineup consideration.
