Seahawks place Jake Bobo on season-ending IR

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins told reporters Saturday he "feels great" as he gets ready for the regular season.

Dobbins was asked if he will play at all during the preseason after dealing with a soft tissue injury earlier this month. "I'm not sure. I'm just trying to be ready for the regular season. I feel great."

Dobbins has said in the past he hopes to play all 17 games this season. If so, he can be a value pick in the middle rounds as the lead back for the Broncos behind one of, if not arguably the best, offensive lines in the NFL. The Broncos will likely play it safe with their lead back before letting him loose on September 14 against the Chiefs.

Tate participated in Friday’s joint practice after missing time with general stiffness. The rookie had taken a hard hit Monday, but the Titans said his subsequent absence was unrelated and he was not in concussion protocol.

This clears up a minor availability concern and puts Tate on track to play Sunday. His ADP and ranking remain closely aligned, although his quiet preseason debut and potentially back-weighted rookie production keep him in the WR3 range.

Jake Bobo, who was on the doorstep of signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars before the Seahawks matched their offer in free agency, was carted off on Friday after an apparent right leg injury. Photo and video recordings during team drills are strictly prohibited at this joint practice, but beat reporters like Brady Henderson and Gregg Bell are there and their accounts don’t sound good.

Bobo is outside the top 250 and wasn’t projected for standalone fantasy value, but his blocking and rotational role will need to be redistributed. Shaheed and Kupp could see slightly less competition for complementary snaps behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The injury’s exact diagnosis remains pending.
