Ravens HC John Harbaugh shares thoughts on OLB David Ojabo’s returning to practice

The Baltimore Ravens are now one step closer to having their 2022 second round pick make his NFL debut. After tearing his achilles at the University of Michigan’s Pro Day in March, outside linebacker David Ojabo returned to practice on Wednesday, far sooner than many anticipated.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh talked about Ojabo already being at practice in such a short amount of time. He gave credit to head certified athletic trainer Adrian Dixon and the training staff, and also said they’ll take things one step at a time.

“[I’m] very impressed. A game, we’ll see. We’re going to take it one step at a time; it won’t be this week. [David Ojabo] said October. I remember he told me October, and I might have mentioned that to you guys early on, and here he is practicing in October. So, very impressed. A great job by [head certified athletic trainer] Adrian Dixon and the training staff in there and the weight staff led by [head strength & conditioning coach] Steve Saunders helping him get back. We’ll see – today was just the first step – we’ll see how he responds.”

Baltimore will likely play it safe with Ojabo, as has been the case with many of their other players coming back from injury. When healthy, Ojabo has the potential to be a major difference maker for the team, and he’d likely factor into an outside linebacker rotation that is flush with talent.
