The Los Angeles Chargers are managing without running back J.K. Dobbins, who is recovering from a knee sprain sustained in Week 12. He was placed on injured reserve, making him eligible to return by Week 17 against the New England Patriots.

In his absence, Gus Edwards has stepped up significantly, while rookie Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins have also contributed. The team's cautious approach may see them holding Dobbins back until the playoffs, especially with easier matchups ahead.
