RB J.K. Dobbins agrees to one-year deal with Chargers

Running back J.K. Dobbins will join the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year contract, his agents told numerous media outlets on Wednesday.

Dobbins, 25, spent the previous four years in Baltimore. With the Chargers, he will play under former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who now holds the same position in Los Angeles.

In 2023, Dobbins sustained a season-ending Achilles tear in the season opener against the Houston Texans. He had eight carries for 22 yards in his abbreviated campaign.

Injuries affected his previous NFL seasons, too. After producing 805 rushing yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie in 2020, he tore an anterior cruciate ligament in a 2021 exhibition game and missed the entire season.

Dobbins returned to action in 2022 but was slowed by another knee injury that limited him to eight games. He wound up with 520 yards and two touchdowns that year.

The Ravens selected Dobbins in the second round of the 2020 draft (55th overall) out of Ohio State.
