Another injury has slowed J.K. Dobbins, but it won't keep him out of the Los Angeles Chargers' playoff opener.
Dobbins is officially active to for the Bolts' Wild Card Weekend showdown with the host Houston Texans on Saturday.
Dobbins was limited all week at practice due to an ankle injury, drawing a questionable designation ahead of the game.
Fortunately, the ankle won't keep the Chargers' leading rusher off the playing field.
Hobbled by a long injury history during his four years with the Baltimore Ravens, Dobbins hit the ground running in his first season with the Chargers, but missed four games midseason with a sprained knee.
Los Angeles went 2-2 and struggled badly on the ground, averaging 74.75 yards per game with three rushing scores during that span.
With Dobbins in the lineup, the Chargers averaged 121.8 yards on the ground this season.
Dobbins, who played in just 24 games during four years in Baltimore, led L.A. with a career-high 905 rushing yards to complement nine rushing touchdowns.
Having Dobbins good to go should be a boon for quarterback Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense, as the Bolts look to strike for the franchise's first playoff victory since 2018.
