Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100%. RB Gus Edwards is also back from his knee injury for this one and figures to mix in behind Dobbins. RB Kimani Vidal is a healthy scratch, leaving Hassan Haskins as the No. 3 RB.

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He’s joined in the backfield by RBs Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins, with RB Gus Edwards (ankle) out. Dobbins has been sidelined since Week 12, so we’re not expecting workhorse usage today. But we are projecting him to lead this backfield, putting him on the RB3 radar.

The Chargers are "optimistic" they'll get RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) back for Saturday's game vs. the Patriots, according to Amazon's Albert Breer. "He's looked really good the last couple of weeks," Breer added. With RB Gus Edwards (ankle) out, it'll be Dobbins, Kimani Vidal, and Hassan Haskins in the Chargers' backfield. Consider Dobbins the favorite for touches, although we'd be surprised if he handled a huge workload coming off a four-week absence.

Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) is out for Saturday's game vs. the Patriots. RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable. He was designated to return from IR earlier this week, put in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, but did not practice on Thursday. We'll look for further updates on Dobbins' availability for this one. His absence would leave the Chargers down to RBs Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins.
