Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins was diagnosed with a knee sprain and will miss Sunday’s game at Atlanta, NFL Network reported Wednesday.
Dobbins departed Monday night’s 30-23 loss to his former team, the Baltimore Ravens, in the second quarter and did not play in the second half. He had 40 yards on six carries before getting tackled awkwardly about five minutes before halftime.
The left knee injury means Dobbins’ availability beyond Week 13 “will be up in the air,” according to the report.
Dobbins, who turns 26 next month, is having a strong debut season with the Chargers following four injury-riddled years in Baltimore. He has rushed for 766 yards and eight touchdowns, his highest totals since his 2020 rookie year (805 yards, nine touchdowns) with the Ravens.
If Dobbins is ruled out, another ex-Ravens running back, Gus Edwards, would be in line to start Sunday when the Chargers (7-4) visit the Falcons (6-5).
