Denver Broncos' Rushing Attack Now More Pressing Than Ever After J.K. Dobbins Injury
The Denver Broncos are now without their star running back J.K. Dobbins for the remainder of the season after he suffered a season-ending injury, and their search for a suitable replacement has hit another roadblock. In what can only be described as a setback, free agent running back Dameon Pierce opted to join the team's practice squad instead of signing with the Broncos, effectively foiling their attempt to fill the void left by Dobbins.
The Broncos' running game was already struggling before Dobbins' injury, and their inability to rush for more than 59 yards in a recent win over the Chiefs was a stark reminder of just how much they're going to miss him. The team's nine-game winning streak has been impressive, but there are growing concerns about their ability to sustain that success without Dobbins calling the shots from behind the backfield.
Now, with Pierce off the table, the Broncos will have to look elsewhere for a replacement, which could be an even more daunting task given the Chiefs' strong interest in signing him. This could prove to be a major headache for the Broncos down the line, especially considering they'll have another chance to face the Chiefs in Week 17.
However, the Broncos do have an ideal matchup coming up in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders, who have been vulnerable to rushing attacks all season long. Rookie running back RJ Harvey will now have the opportunity to prove himself as a potential workhorse without Dobbins or Pierce in the mix, which could be just what the doctor ordered for the Broncos' struggling offense.
The loss of Dobbins has left a significant void at the running back position, and with Pierce out of the picture, it's clear that the Broncos need to act quickly if they're going to find someone who can fill the gap. As we head into Week 13, Denver will be looking for answers on how they plan to get their rushing attack back on track.

. I mean, you'd think they'd have a solid backup plan in place, but nope! It's like they're saying "oh, we'll just wing it" and hope for the best... meanwhile, their opponents are over there getting ready for another showdown with Pierce 
. Denver needs to bring some fiscal responsibility to their running game - prioritize investing in their backfield ASAP or risk falling further behind. And what's up with this "vulnerable to rushing attacks all season long" excuse from the Commanders? It sounds like they're just trying to deflect blame 
...
. meanwhile, chiefs are still sniffing around Pierce...i think denver gotta make some big moves or else this season is GONE 
. The Broncos need to step up their game if they want to find someone who can fill the gap, but honestly, I think they're barking up the wrong tree 
.
it's like they're trying to find a needle in a haystack, and with the chiefs sniffing around pierce, it's gonna be even harder to find someone who can fill that void 
they need to act fast, RJ harvey might be their only hope now 
they really need a good rusher now 
and dameon pierce just became a major roadblock 
for them, lol what a letdown 
they were counting on him to fill jk's shoes 
but now it looks like they'll have to look elsewhere, which is probs even harder since the chiefs want him so badly 
RJ harvey might be their savior tho 
and that matchup against washington in week 13 could be a game changer 
if they wanna keep that 9-game winning streak going 
the Chiefs are gonna be tough to beat in Week 17 
but I'm rooting for the Broncos to pull off some magic 
gotta say, this J.K. Dobbins injury is just another example of how injury-prone the NFL is 
. I mean, the Broncos are already struggling and now Pierce turns down a spot in the practice squad? what's going on here? 
they really need someone to step up and fill that void ASAP or else it's gonna be tough for them to keep their winning streak alive 
. RJ Harvey might just be the answer, but we'll have to see how he pans out 
It's like, you gotta wonder if he's worried about being a bench warmer or something... 
Anyway, back to the Broncos, they need to find someone who can step up and fill Dobbins' shoes ASAP. RJ Harvey might be the answer, but we'll just have to wait and see how that plays out. 
the broncos' situation is getting so crazy and i don't think they're going to find a replacement for dobbins quickly enough 
let's see if he can make some magic happen 
. RJ Harvey's gotta come through big time this week against the Commanders 
... if he can handle all that pressure, it could be a game-changer for Denver 
... fingers crossed that Harvey can deliver 
️. But you know what they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade, right? 
They've got an ideal matchup coming up against the Commanders, which could be just what RJ Harvey needs to step up and show what he's got. Maybe this is the wake-up call for their rushing attack
