What happened: Dobbins said the Broncos' early belief in him has made the organization feel like family. He enters 2026 training camp aiming for his best NFL season.

Why it matters: A foot injury ended his 2025 season after 10 games, leaving Denver without its leading rusher for the stretch run. His return gives the backfield an established lead option for the upcoming season.

What to watch: His workload and availability through training camp will clarify his role entering the preseason.
