Dobbins previously played for parts of three injury-plagued seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>Dobbins missed his entire second NFL season in 2021 with a devastating leg injury that included tears to his ACL, LCL and meniscus. Dobbins was limited to eight games in 2022, then suffered a torn Achilles during Week 1 of the 2023 season. The injury ended his season and, ultimately, his tenure with the Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>Dobbins was a force when healthy and averaged 5.8 yards per carry during his Ravens tenure. He signed a one-year, $1.6 million with the Chargers last offseason that was essentially a flyer. It paid off for the Chargers.<\/p>\n<p>Dobbins played in 13 games for Los Angeles, including 11 starts. He tallied 1,058 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns while averaging 4.6 yards per carry as the Chargers&#8217; lead back.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Now he has a new deal with the rival Broncos that comes with a healthy pay raise.<\/p>\n<p>How Dobbins fits in Denver<\/p>\n<p>Dobbins joins a Broncos backfield in search of an upgrade. Javonte Williams led Denver in rushing last season with 503 yards on 3.7 yards per carry. Williams signed with the Cowboys as a free agent, leaving Jaleel McLaughlin (496 yards, 4.4 ypc) and Audric Estime (310 yards, 4.1 ypc) as the top returning running back options.<\/p>\n<p>The Broncos selected UCF running back R.J. Harvey in the second round of April&#8217;s draft, a slot that suggests that he&#8217;ll have a leg up on the starting job in Denver. He&#8217;ll now have more competition for touches from an established veteran with the arrival of Dobbins.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Denver Broncos are signing former Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens running back J.K.
