The Broncos are viewing Dobbins as a potential candidate for injured reserve after he sustained a left foot injury in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Dobbins suffered the injury on an apparent hip-drop tackle in the third quarter, and the team is waiting for a second opinion on it before making any roster decisions. Though the Broncos have a longer turnaround than normal in advance of Sunday's game against Kansas City, Dobbins is at significant risk of being sidelined for the first time all season. Rookie RJ Harvey is the next man up for touches and snaps in the Denver backfield, while Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin would be candidates for increased roles as well.
