J.K. Dobbins vows to play full 2026 season for Denver Broncos

Running back J.K. Dobbins, now 27, has re‑signed with the Denver Broncos on a two‑year contract that guarantees $8 million and could rise to $20 million with incentives. He declared his intention to stay healthy and play all 17 games in the 2026 NFL season, aiming to become the league’s leading rusher.

Dobbins’ career has been marked by recurring injuries – a knee surgery, an Achilles tear and a Lisfranc foot injury that ended his 2025 campaign after ten games. He says the injuries are behind him, citing his faith and a personal “pinky promise” to fans that he will not miss a single game this year. The player hopes to improve on his previous best, when he rushed for 772 yards in ten games, and to prove he can be a consistent, top‑three back for the entire season.
