Dobbins was a full participant in practice on Thursday after missing the past four weeks while dealing with a knee injury. With backup Gus Edwards out this week, fans will have to keep a close eye on the workload Dobbins will receive during Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots.
Dobbins was having a career year for the Chargers before leaving the game against the Baltimore Ravens with a knee injury. The former Raven has 766 yards on the ground for the Chargers this season with eight touchdowns.
Backups Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins will be game-ready on Sunday to backup Dobbins. Vidal has 131 yards on the ground this year while Haskins has just 26.
The Chargers (9-6) can clinch a playoff birth with a win over the Patriots (3-12).
