### Chargers Place J.K. Dobbins and Alohi Gilman on Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers' roster has taken a significant hit with the recent announcement that running back J.K. Dobbins and safety Alohi Gilman have been placed on injured reserve. The team revealed these moves on Saturday following a report that Dobbins would be sidelined due to a knee sprain.

J.K. Dobbins has been a cornerstone of the Chargers' offense this season, rebounding strongly after three injury-riddled years with the Baltimore Ravens. During this season, he accumulated 158 carries for 766 yards and scored eight touchdowns. However, his knee injury will now force him to miss at least four games.

In Dobbins' absence, the Chargers will rely on Gus Edwards, Hassan Haskins, and Kimani Vidal to carry the load in the backfield. The team is optimistic that these players will help fill the void left by Dobbins' temporary departure.

Additionally, safety Alohi Gilman will be unavailable for the foreseeable future due to a hamstring injury. To bolster their secondary, the Chargers have promoted veteran safety Tony Jefferson to the active roster. Furthermore, cornerback Dicaprio Bootle and linebacker Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste have been temporarily elevated from the practice squad to fill in the gaps left by these injuries.

As the Chargers navigate through these challenges, they hope the new additions will rise to the occasion and help maintain the team's performance during this crucial part of the season.
