The Denver Broncos are gearing up for their AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots, and of course, the news has centered around injured quarterback Bo Nix.
But on Wednesday, the Broncos got some good injury news on another offensive player.
And he might be key in getting Denver to the Super Bowl.
Running back J.K. Dobbins was back at practice, and according to Denver's injury report, was a limited participant.
That's a start.
Having played just 10 games this season, Dobbins has rushed for 772 yards and four touchdowns.

Dobbins key to Broncos chances?
If he plays, you could certainly make that case.
Why? Because the easiest path for Denver to beat the Patriots with Jarrett Stidham is to have a sound run game to lean on.
If Dobbins suits up, he, along with R.J. Harvey, need to pound the rock and allow Stidham to play the role of bus driver.
If Stidham has to throw 30+ times, Denver isn't winning this game. Not with New England's defense.
Who knows, maybe Dobbins is the key to the Broncos advancing to the Super Bowl, after all.
