He's in tennis shoes tonight but playing catch in the end zone during early warmups.
Pregame: Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins warming up
J.K. Dobbins out there getting warmed up, too. Will be interesting to see if he gets some run tonight. #Broncos have been diligent with his team reps in practice so far in camp.

Dobbins was a healthy scratch in Atlanta last week.
