Dobbins had 40 yards on his first six carries against Baltimore, showing the elusiveness and speed that revitalized his career this year in Los Angeles.
After the game, Charges head coach Jim Harbaugh was unsure of the severity of the injury, but the running back who started the night third in the AFC in rushing yards is expected to recover from a another setback in his promising career.
The Chargers finished with just 83 rushing yards after entering the weekend with the 12th-ranked rushing attack in the NFL.
ESPN reported that Dobbins will likely miss Sunday’s game against Atlanta and his availability will become week-to-week for the remainder of the season.
