J.K. Dobbins, running back for the Los Angeles Chargers, is a critical uncertainty ahead of the NFL playoff matchup against the Houston Texans due to an ankle injury sustained in the season finale. Previously, he had just returned from another injury, and his status has been officially listed as questionable.

Dobbins has been instrumental in the Chargers' rushing offense, amassing 905 yards and nine touchdowns over 13 games this season. In his absence, Gus Edwards, who recently returned from injury, may need to carry the load, although his performance has been less impactful this season.
