Dobson's lower-body injury will not require surgery, but he is still considered week-to-week, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Thursday.
At this point, fantasy managers should probably be expecting Dobson to land on injured reserve in the coming days in order to free up a roster spot for a call-up from the minors -- especially considering Dobson's absence leaves the club without an extra healthy blueliner. Isaiah George could see a significant uptick in ice time as a result.
