The Minnesota Vikings‘ quarterback Josh Dobbs is having a blast on the turf. He has perfectly replaced Kirk Cousins after the latter suffered an Achilles injury and was ruled out for the rest of the season. Dobbs perfectly replaced him and gave the Vikings much-needed momentum. They went 2-0 in their last two games with Dobbs leading the charge and are presently standing at the second position in their division.
Along with winning the fans’ hearts through his performance on the field, Dobbs also did something off the field that would raise his name as not only a good player but also a great human being. He sent his signed jersey to a little kid who was suffering from alopecia.
The little kid received the gift and in a moment of joy, he wrote a thank you message to Dobbs and the entire Vikings team. He later shared the picture on social media. A video was also uploaded that depicted the kid unboxing the package and opening the jersey he received. The video garnered positive feedback from the fans and the netizens.
Dobbs has had a redemption in this year’s NFL. Before the Vikings, Dobbs had his spells with many teams but couldn’t make his mark. The Vikings eventually acquired him from the Cardinals. He made his debut for Minnesota after Jaren Hall suffered an injury in the game against the Falcons.
And Dobbs is paying back for the trust that the Vikings showed in him. In two matches he played, he registered three touchdowns and covered over 400 yards of passing. Both of these games were clean knocks where he didn’t throw a single interception. He sealed two wins in two games and put the Vikings in a comfortable position. Their next encounter will be against the Denver Broncos and it is to be seen whether Dobbs continues with this form.
Concern for the Vikings as Josh Dobbs listed with ankle issue in injury report
Ahead of the game against the Broncos, the Vikings have yet again found themselves in the middle of injuries. The team is already missing Cousins and star WR Justin Jefferson due to injuries and the latest to join the bandwagon is none other than Josh Dobbs.
As per Wednesday’s injury report after practice, Dobbs is suffering some discomfort in his ankle. However, the newly arrived quarterback had a full practice. The Vikings believe that it is just a niggle and the QB will be up and running before the week 11 game. Dobbs will most likely play for the Vikings in the coming game.
Though Dobbs will play, it is unsure when Jefferson will have his comeback. The Vikings are currently 2nd in the NFC North with a solid 6-4 record. They have a very good chance to make it to the playoffs and in Cousins’ absence, Dobbs will have to lead the team to the best of his abilities.
