Dobson (foot) is expected to make his preseason debut Thursday against the Giants, the Boston Herald reports. Since undergoing surgery in March to repair a stress fracture in his left foot, Dobson has been limited during camp. He did not begin practicing until August 11 but has ramped up his activity of late and is on track to see some playing time Thursday. Dobson will compete with Kenbrell Thompkins and Brandon LaFell for playing time at the outside receiver position this season.
