Chargers "Optimistic" J.K. Dobbins Plays Week 17

The Chargers are "optimistic" they'll get RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) back for Saturday's game vs. the Patriots, according to Amazon's Albert Breer. "He's looked really good the last couple of weeks," Breer added. With RB Gus Edwards (ankle) out, it'll be Dobbins, Kimani Vidal, and Hassan Haskins in the Chargers' backfield. Consider Dobbins the favorite for touches, although we'd be surprised if he handled a huge workload coming off a four-week absence.
