Dobbins has not had the start to his 2026 season that he likely envisioned. Through the first four weeks, he has rushed for just 161 yards and zero touchdowns while averaging 3.5 yards per carry. Unfortunately, Dobbins isn't entirely sure why he has struggled to begin the year, either.

Entering the 2026 season, Dobbins has averaged over five yards per carry. For some reason, though, that success has not carried over into 2026.
Dobbins did suffer a soft-tissue injury during training camp, but he isn't letting that be an excuse.
