J.K. Dobbins Plans To Be Back For Week 17

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) told the NBC broadcast crew that he expects to be back when first eligible in Week 17. Dobbins didn't need surgery for his knee injury and said the Chargers were playing it safe by placing him on IR. It sounds like he might be ready for a significant workload in his first game back. We'll continue to track his status, but Dobbins could at least be a RB3 or Flex option in a plus matchup against the Patriots in Week 17.
