Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins left Monday's training camp practice with an injury, accompanied by trainers on his way off the field.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton shared an injury update when speaking to reporters after practice.

"[It's a] soft tissue [injury]," Payton said. "I think he's going to be fine, we're just being smart with it."

Dobbins has a history of injury issues. He hasn't appeared in at least 15 regular-season games since his rookie season with the Baltimore Ravens in 2020. Last year, he missed seven games due to a Lisfranc foot injury he suffered in Week 10.

After playing just nine total games from 2021-2023, Dobbins returned to NFL prominence in his 2024 season with the Los Angeles Chargers. Through 13 games that season, he rushed for a career-high 905 yards and nine touchdowns.

Before suffering his season-ending injury last season, Dobbins recorded 772 yards and four touchdowns as the Broncos' starting running back.
