Dobbins, who will be placed on injured reserve due to a foot injury, may be ready to return in February if the Broncos advance to Super LX, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Getting all the way to the final game of the 2025 season may be difficult without Dobbins after he suffered a foot injury during a Week 10 win against the Raiders. The nature of the injury reportedly isn't a fracture but is a small ligament tear, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. While Dobbins is slated for surgery, rookie RJ Harvey is poised to lead the Broncos backfield moving forward, with Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin filling in behind him.

The Broncos are slated to place Dobbins on injured reserve, as the running back needs foot surgery that may end his season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dobbins' 2025 campaign now is in peril due to the hip-drop tackle that he endured during Denver's Week 10 win against the Raiders. The team has yet to make the move to IR official, but if he indeed is out for the rest of the campaign, he'll finish it with 153 carries for 772 yards and four touchdowns and 11 catches (on 14 targets) for 37 yards. RJ Harvey is poised to lead the Broncos backfield for the foreseeable future.

Milton was elevated from the Bengals' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The Georgia product joined Cincinnati's practice squad in late August and has yet to make his NFL debut. Milton provides the Bengals' with much-needed depth at running back, as Samaje Perine (ankle) will be sidelined for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Saylors (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

A back injury prevented Saylors from playing against the Commanders in Week 10. He was limited in all three practices during Week 10 prep, which gives him a chance to suit up in Sunday's road game in Philadelphia. The Lions could be thin in the backfield behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, as Sione Vaki is also listed as questionable due to an ankle injury.

Vaki (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Vaki has been working through separate lower-body injuries for most of the season. He ended the week with back-to-back limited practices while working through an ankle issue, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the Lions announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Craig Reynolds and Kalif Raymond would handle return duties on kickoffs if Vaki is unable to play against Philadelphia.

Johnson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans,

Johnson was a full participant in practice all week and appears ready to play if the team decides to activate him off injured reserve for Sunday's game. The fullback has been on IR since Week 3 due to a hamstring injury, and his return could greatly contribute to the team's rushing attack.

Johnson reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

TreVeyon Henderson dominated the touches out of the backfield during the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday. Terrell Jennings was active after working through a knee injury during the shortened week but didn't end up playing a snap, while Johnson logged eight snaps on offense and turned three carries into six yards. Johnson has been elevated from the practice squad by the Patriots three times this season, which is the max; however, the veteran running back could be signed to New England's active roster if Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is expected to miss more time.

McLaughlin is on track to rejoin the Broncos' backfield after J.K. Dobbins (foot) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

McLaughlin has been a healthy scratch for nine of the first 10 regular-season games, with his lone appearance coming in Week 6 against the Jets, when he played just six offensive snaps. However, with Dobbins sidelined for Sunday's AFC West tilt, McLaughlin will join rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie in the backfield. McLaughlin posted 572 scrimmage yards through 16 regular-season games in 2024 and could see some touches while spelling Harvey and Badie.

Harvey is set to lead the Broncos backfield Sunday against the Chiefs due to J.K. Dobbins (foot) being ruled out for the contest.

Dobbins emerged from last Thursday's win against the Raiders with a foot injury, and as of Tuesday, a move to injured reserve was considered a possibility for the sixth-year pro, per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. After Dobbins was ruled out for Week 11 action Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the running back was in line to be out for an extended period. Harvey has recorded 10 or more touches in a game only once so far in his career (18 in Week 4), but the rookie second-round pick has impressed at times, averaging 4.3 yards on his 43 rushes, gathering in 25 of 29 targets for 175 yards and scoring six TDs in 10 appearances. Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin are the other RBs on Denver's active roster.

Dobbins, who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is believed to be sidelined for the foreseeable future due to a significant foot injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Per Rapoport, Dobbins is still working through his options, and while there's been no final determination, IR remains a possibility for the running back. In Dobbins' looming absence, 2025 second-rounder RJ Harvey is poised to lead Denver's backfield, with Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin slated to work behind him in complementary roles.
