The Los Angeles Chargers activated running back J.K. Dobbins from injured reserve on Friday.
Dobbins is formally listed as questionable but figures to be the team’s top running threat for Saturday’s road game against the New England Patriots. Teammate Gus Edwards (ankle) was ruled out Thursday.
Dobbins has missed the past four games since sustaining a knee injury against the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 25. He was a full practice participant Thursday before receiving the questionable label.
The injury-prone Dobbins was enjoying a solid season prior to the knee ailment, with 766 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground and 28 receptions for 134 yards in 11 games. His career high for rushing yardage is 805 for the Ravens in 2020.
Dobbins’ return comes with the Chargers (9-6) just one win from clinching an AFC wild-card playoff spot.
Los Angeles also elevated safeties Eddie Jackson and Kendall Williamson from the practice squad.
