The Baltimore Ravens dealt with a plethora of injuries in 2021, especially in the running back department. Baltimore lost running backs J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill prior to the first snap of the year, prompting them to sign multiple veteran options.
Following training camp practice on Monday, head coach John Harbaugh spoke to the media. When asked about Dobbins following his reinstatement from the physically unable to perform list, the head coach was pleased with his improvements.

“He [J.K. Dobbins] looked good. He’s kind of back on track, and I thought he looked a little better than he did before – last week. So, he continues to improve, and we’ll see where it goes.”
Dobbins is an explosive back, and forms a potent one-two punch with fellow running back Gus Edwards when both are healthy. The team brought in plenty of backfield depth behind Dobbins and Edwards such as veteran Mike Davis, rookie Tyler Badie and others, so both players don’t have to feel rushed in their returns.
Through one season, Dobbins has carried the ball 134 times for 805 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. He also has 120 receiving yards on 18 receptions.
