The Los Angeles Chargers have placed running back J.K. Dobbins and safety Alohi Gilman on injured reserve due to injuries sustained in recent games. Dobbins, who has been a vital part of the offensive lineup, is sidelined with a knee injury, having suffered a sprained MCL during a matchup against the Ravens. His absence will be felt as the team prepares to face the Falcons and the Chiefs in the upcoming weeks. The Chargers are now looking at potential free-agent running back targets to fill the gap left by Dobbins. Additionally, with several starters ruled out, including Gilman, the Chargers face challenges in maintaining their competitive edge as they fight for playoff positioning.
