Chargers' J.K. Dobbins: Forgettable playoff start
J.K. Dobbins (ankle) took nine carries for 26 yards and failed to bring in his lone target in Saturday's 32-12 playoff loss to the Texans.Dobbins carried a questionable tag into Saturday's wild-card round matchup, but he did not appear limited after leading a dismal rushing attack with nine touches. Veteran backup and longtime teammate Gus Edwards struggled similarly (7-22-0) as the starting duo failed to set the tone against a stout Houston defensive front. The 26-year-old Dobbins is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason after producing a 195-905-9 rushing line in 13 healthy games for Los Angeles in 2024.

Chargers' J.K. Dobbins: Suiting up for playoff opener
J.K. Dobbins (ankle) is listed as active for Saturday's wild-card game at Houston.Dobbins was a limited practice participant all week due to an ankle injury, which seemingly was the result of getting tackled awkwardly near the end of the first quarter last Sunday In Las Vegas, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. The running back was able to finish out the contest en route to 21 touches for 75 yards from scrimmage on a 65 percent snap share, as position mate Gus Edwards (ankle) was sidelined. Edwards himself followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week before heading into the weekend without a designation. With Dobbins confirmed to be available as well, the pair likely will have close to an even split of the backfield reps in the Los Angeles Chargers' playoff opener.

Dobbins (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Texans, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.It would have been a real surprise if Dobbins would have been unavailable for Los Angeles' playoff game, but it appears that reality won't come to fruition.

Chargers' J.K. Dobbins: Questionable for Saturday
J.K. Dobbins is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Texans.Dobbins was deemed questionable by the Los Angeles Chargers after being listed as a limited practice participant Tuesday through Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow running back Gus Edwards (ankle) -- who has missed two straight games -- doesn't carry an injury designation after practicing fully Thursday. Look for added context regarding Dobbins' status to arrive closer to Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's limited or out versus Houston, then Edwards would be in line to see added work on early downs, with Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal also in the mix. Additionally, the Chargers could elect to elevate either Ezekiel Elliott or Jaret Patterson from their practice squad.

Chargers' J.K. Dobbins: Limited by ankle injury Tuesday
J.K. Dobbins was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to an ankle injury.Though the Los Angeles Chargers never announced that Dobbins emerged from this past Sunday's 34-20 win over the Raiders with an injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic relays that the running back appeared to hurt his leg at the end of a run late in the first quarter, and he was sporting a protective sleeve following the game. Dobbins' appearance on this week's injury report suggests that it was his ankle that he tweaked on the play in question, but his ability to practice in at least a limited fashion Tuesday bodes well for his chances of playing in Saturday's wild-card game in Houston.

He added three receptions on three targets for 12 yards.Dobbins dominated touches out of the Los Angeles backfield while the game was competitive as Gus Edwards (ankle) remained sidelined. Dobbins had moments of effectiveness despite averaging just 3.5 yards per carry, as he accounted for 30 total yards on five touches on an offensive possession early in the second quarter that resulted in a field goal. He closes the regular season with career-high marks in attempts (195) and rushing yards (905) and projects to at least split work with Edwards in Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Texans.

Chargers' J.K. Dobbins: May remain top RB on Sunday
J.K. Dobbins may be the Los Angeles Chargers' lead running back Sunday at Las Vegas with Gus Edwards (ankle) ruled out for that contest.Following a four-game stint on IR due to a knee injury, Dobbins returned to action this past Saturday at New England to a backfield that also didn't have Edwards' services. Dobbins handled a 53 percent snap share and turned 21 touches into 83 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD, while reserves Hassan Haskins (35 percent, 9-40-0) and Kimani Vidal (11 percent, 5-24-0) also got in the mix. It's possible Dobbins takes on closer to the roughly 70 percent of snaps he handled prior to getting injured Week 12, in which case he'd be closer to a workhorse in Week 18. Having said that, if the Steelers beat the Bengals on Saturday, the Chargers would be locked into the No. 6 seed in the AFC and could opt to scale back Dobbins' workload with his health for the postseason in mind.

Chargers' J.K. Dobbins: Finds end zone in return
J.K. Dobbins ran for 76 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries in Saturday's 40-7 win over the Patriots.It was a grinding effort for Dobbins as the Patriots clearly made it a priority to stop him, but Dobbins held up well in his first game back from a four-week knee injury. Not just that, but the Patriots paid dearly for focusing on the run, as Justin Herbert torched them for 281 yards and three touchdowns while completing targets to nine different pass catchers. If the Los Angeles Chargers feed Dobbins against the Raiders in Week 18, he'll be a strong bet to make it two good games in a row, though it's worth noting the team has now clinched a playoff berth.
