Broncos’ J.K. Dobbins angry over hip-drop tackle that injured him

J.K. Dobbins has seen enough.

And unfortunately, he’s the latest victim of what appeared to be a controversial — and illegal — hip-drop tackle.

The Broncos running back suffered a foot injury on a second-half play during Denver’s 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday night, NFL Network reported Friday.

Dobbins, 26, was wrapped up by Raiders defensive lineman Tyree Wilson late in the third quarter, dropping his body weight onto Dobbins’ lower leg.

Dobbins’ foot was caught underneath Wilson’s momentum as the play unfolded in the low-scoring affair. No flag was thrown on the play for a hip-drop tackle.

The 26-year-old limped off but did come back into the game, ultimately finishing with 18 carries for 77 yards.

Dobbins took to X to react on Friday, asking for a “ban” or a “call” on the tackle. A hip-drop tackle would have meant a 15-yard penalty on the Raiders and a first down for the Broncos. In this case, that did not happen.

“BAN OR ATLEAST CALL THE MUTHER F—-IN HIP DROP TACKLE!” Dobbins wrote.

Aside from the controversy, the win still came with a chorus of boos given Denver’s lack of offensive firepower.

“We’re all on the same page. I don’t have to say anything because we are all on the same page already,” Dobbins told reporters after the win. “I’m not the only one feeling like this, and I know we’re going to get it together. We’re going to figure it out. Yes, cool, we are 8-2, but we want bigger things and we’re going to do it. We are going to get it together. The guys in this locker room and on the team, winners. So we’re going to get it together.”

Dobbins has battled major injuries before — including a torn Achilles in 2023 while he was with the Ravens.

Dobbins was injured in the first game of that season but returned in 2024 to rush for 905 yards and nine touchdowns on 195 carries in one year with the Chargers.

This season, Dobbins has 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 153 carries. He also has 11 catches for 37 yards.
