Chargers’ Playoff Hopes Dimmed by Justin Dobbins’ Latest Injury
Justin Dobbins made a significant impact before exiting Monday night’s game against the Ravens, rushing for 40 yards and catching three passes for 19 yards in the first half. However, his departure from the game proved costly, as the Ravens took the lead and never looked back, stifling the Chargers’ offense.
Without Dobbins, the Chargers’ offense became one-dimensional and struggled to move the ball, managing just 110 total yards over the second half. The team’s 7-4 record and 86% chance of making the playoffs may not be affected, but the upcoming schedule does not look favorable, with tough games against the Chiefs, Buccaneers, and Broncos over the next four weeks.
Gus Edwards is expected to take on a larger role in the backfield, with rookie Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins also in the rotation. Dobbins will look to shake off his latest injury and return to the field in time to help the Chargers make a push for the playoffs and a potential January run.
