"The door is open for JK Dobbins to return this season — if the Broncos make it to the Super Bowl," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero tweeted on Saturday. "There was no fracture, just a small tear from the tackle, and doctors believe he could return if Denver advances that far."

Last year, NFL.com's Adam Rank predicted that the Denver Broncos would go 10-7 during the 2024 season. He called that one perfectly as the Broncos went 10-7 in 2024 and returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2015.
