The Denver Broncos received tough news Friday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As NBC Sports noted, NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport reported that running back\u00a0J.K. Dobbins\u00a0will amiss Sunday\u2019s matchup against the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0due to a significant foot injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rapoport added that Dobbins is \u201cbelieved to be out for the foreseeable future.\u201d<\/p>\n
His placement on injured reserve remains a real possibility as the team evaluates its options.<\/p>\n
\u201cDobbins is still working through options, and while there is no final determination, IR remains a possibility,\u201d Rapoport said.<\/p>\n
The report came from himself and Tom Pelissero.<\/p>\n
The development marks a quick escalation from earlier in the week, when Dobbins missed Wednesday and Thursday\u2019s practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that point, the team had not revealed the full severity of the injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dobbins\u2019 injury stems from a hip-drop tackle last Thursday against the\u00a0Raiders, a play that left him frustrated enough to take to X and call for the move to be banned.<\/p>\n
Dobbins ranks fifth in the\u00a0NFL\u00a0with 772 rushing yards and has been a huge part of Denver\u2019s offense so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Dobbins has officially been ruled out for Week 11, the next major decision comes quickly.<\/p>\n
The Broncos must determine by Saturday afternoon whether to place him on injured reserve.<\/p>\n
If he is moved to IR before Sunday, the Chiefs game will count toward a required four-game absence.<\/p>\n
Placing Dobbins on IR would sideline him for matchups against the Chiefs,\u00a0Commanders, Raiders, and\u00a0Packers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He would be eligible to return Week 16 against the\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n
Head coach Sean Payton acknowledged that discussions are ongoing.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing has been decided yet, and at some point there will be more clarity with him and some of these other players,\u201d Payton said earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Denver\u2019s Week 12 bye gives the team a small cushion, but if the injury is significant enough to keep him out multiple weeks, the IR designation becomes more likely.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith JK Dobbins potentially headed to Injured Reserve, all eyes turn to RJ Harvey,\u201d Rapoport said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
RJ Harvey\u00a0has already flashed his dynamic potential in limited work.<\/p>\n
Payton praised Harvey\u2019s running style, durability, and readiness to step into a larger role:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we drafted him, it was his running skillset, and he had a lot of touches at Central Florida,\u201d Payton said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are starting to see him grow in front of our eyes, and he will have more opportunities in this game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tyler Badie\u00a0will likely mix in as a third down guy, while\u00a0Jaleel McLaughlin\u00a0could be active as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s divisional matchup against the Chiefs carries major playoff implications for both teams and Harvey has a huge opportunity to step up and flourish in the RB1 role.<\/p>\n
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders revealed his first-ever tattoo on video \u2014 a choice that might not sit well with his dad, Deion.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0clip from Well Off Media\u00a0shows Sanders getting his dollar-sign logo on his left, non-throwing hand. His brother, Shilo, teased that their dad definitely wouldn\u2019t approve.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf dad ever ranks you higher than me in the rankings each month, buddy, that\u2019ll be outrageous,\u201d Shilo Sanders said. \u201cDad\u2019s gonna say, \u2018Ain\u2019t no quarterback of mine have no tattoos. That\u2019s unprofessional. I did not raise you like that.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Deion Sanders is famously opposed to getting tattoos, as he expressed in a\u00a0previous video with Shedeur back in 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere you plan on going, some things you can\u2019t take with you,\u201d Deion Sanders said when the pair were at Jackson State. \u201cStarts out with a thigh, next thing it\u2019s a shoulder, next thing it\u2019s a calf and a hamstring. Next thing you know, you\u2019re Mike Tyson and you\u2019ll do your whole face.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been an interesting ride for Sanders in the\u00a0NFL\u00a0after tumbling in the draft to the fifth round. He\u2019s currently serving as the backup quarterback to Dillon Gabriel in Cleveland, and it\u2019s uncertain if or when he\u2019ll see the field this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair to speculate,\u201d\u00a0Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday\u00a0about a possible timeline for Sanders to see the field. \u201cWe\u2019re committed to getting better as an offense. Dillon is certainly committed to improving every which way he can. And all the while, all of our players, our young players are developing and working so hard behind the scenes to make sure that they\u2019re getting better on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n
That said,\u00a0Stefanski provided some light praise for Sanders\u00a0on Friday ahead of the team\u2019s Week 11 matchup against the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s doing a really nice job. Including just now coming off the field with the red zone drill we did,\u201d\u00a0Stefanski said. \u201cContinues to work really hard. Doing a nice job in meetings. Doing a good job on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
The chatter around Sanders seeing the field has heated up in recent weeks. Gabriel has\u00a0struggled to establish himself as the starter\u00a0in Cleveland. He\u2019s posted a 1-4 record and has not provided a spark for the offense. However, Stefanski has continued to back Gabriel, putting the blame on the unit as a whole.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are things that I know Dillon can do better and will do better as a young quarterback. And I know there are things that we as a staff can do better, and putting our guys in position,\u201d Stefanski said. \u201cSo, I just think it goes back to, I understand the individual aspect of this, but there\u2019s also the collective aspect of this.\u201d<\/p>\n
If Gabriel\u2019s struggles persist, the Browns will almost certainly give Sanders a look down the stretch with the playoffs out of reach. Cleveland holds two first-round picks in next year\u2019s draft and must evaluate its rookie quarterbacks before making any long-term decisions at the position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
