Following the gut-wrenching Bo Nix injury news, the Denver Broncos may have to heavily rely on their running game in order to clinch their first Super Bowl appearance in a decade. The backfield as currently constructed has struggled of late, but there is a possibility it gets a huge boost for Sunday’s AFC Championship matchup versus the New England Patriots. Denver is opening the practice window for JK Dobbins, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The 27-year-old RB suffered what was believed to be a season-ending foot injury in November, but against all odds, he actually has a chance to play against the Pats. Broncos rookie RJ Harvey struggled versus the Buffalo Bills in Saturday’s AFC Divisional Round thriller, posting six carries for 21 yards. Jaleel McLaughlin was more efficient — four rushes for 21 yards — but head coach Sean Payton will need more from the group against a dangerous New England defense.
