Veteran running back JK Dobbins has promised to play in all 17 games this season and wants to lead the NFL in rushing, but his injury history presents a significant concern. Throughout his NFL career, Dobbins has dealt with multiple serious lower body injuries including an ACL, Achilles injury, and a season-ending Lisfranc injury last season. Head Coach Sean Payton stressed the importance of Dobbins to the team, noting he was a big reason the Broncos won 14 games last season and that the running game fell completely apart without him. The source acknowledges that staying healthy for all 17 games will be a difficult promise to keep due to wear and tear and things out of players' control.
