Chargers' J.K. Dobbins suffers sprained MCL, will miss upcoming game against Falcons.
Why it matters: Dobbins' absence is a significant blow to the Chargers' running game and offensive strategy.

- His injury affects the team's overall offensive production and their chances of securing a victory.
What's new: Dobbins sustained a sprained MCL during the first half of the Chargers' game against the Ravens and did not return for the second half.
