Los Angeles Chargers running back JK Dobbins has suffered terrible injury misfortune throughout his football career, and that continued on “Monday Night Football” in Week 12 against his former team, the Baltimore Ravens.
Dobbins suffered another knee injury on Monday and was officially listed as questionable to return, despite not leaving the Los Angeles locker room in the third quarter, according to ESPN’s Lisa Salters. He was later demoted to out, according to the team.
“I don’t have any updates,” head coach Jim Harbaugh said of Dobbins after the Chargers’ 30-23 loss.
He has played in 11 games this season, including Week 12, after playing just nine games from 2021 to 2023. His 158 carries in 2024 are a career-high, and he is up to 766 rushing yards, the most since his rookie season in 2020.
Unfortunately, Dobbins and leg injuries have gone hand in hand since his high school days. He suffered a fractured fibula his senior year of high school, a third-degree sprained ankle at Ohio State, a torn ACL with the Ravens in 2021, needed a procedure to relieve knee stress in 2022 (only played eight games) and got torn. his Achilles tendon in Week 1 of the 2023 season with Baltimore. Let’s hope his latest illness doesn’t cost him much time in the future.
