As things stand, J.K. Dobbins is listed as questionable on the Chargers injury report. The running back was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday due to his ankle injury.

Since there's no confirmation yet that Dobbins will play on Saturday, the Chargers may make a game-time decision regarding his participation.

Dobbins appeared to have picked up the injury in LA's Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Given the playoffs are an elimination round, the Chargers will be hoping to have Dobbins available.
