Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins exited Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a leg injury. The team listed him as questionable to return with 11:47 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Dobbins gingerly walked off the field after a 4-yard carry at the end of the third quarter. He stayed in the medical tent for several minutes before emerging from the tent with his helmet on. Dobbins paced the sideline for the rest of the Broncos drive.

Denver was already without running back RJ Harvey on Sunday due to a hamstring injury. Jonah Coleman appeared shaken up in the first half before he returned to game action.
