Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins is active and expected to play in Saturday afternoon’s game against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass.
Dobbins, 26, was activated off injured reserve on Friday after missing the past four games with a knee injury sustained in a game against the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 25.
He was listed as questionable on Friday to play for the Chargers, who will be without fellow running back Gus Edwards (ankle).

Dobbins’ return comes with the Chargers (9-6) just one win from clinching an AFC wild-card playoff spot.
In addition to Edwards, the Chargers listed the following players as inactive: linebacker Denzel Perryman, guard Trey Pipkens, tight end Hayden Hurst, offensive lineman Jordan McFadden, quarterback Easton Stick and defensive lineman Justin Eboigbe.
