Coach John Harbaugh said Monday there's a "chance" that Dobbins (knee) begins training camp on the PUP list, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Harbaugh said both Dobbins and Gus Edwards (knee), who both missed the 2021 campaign due to torn ACLs, could need to start training camp on the PUP list. "We'll probably play it safe a little bit with those guys and take our time and just bring them along for the season," Harbaugh said. Dobbins still appears on track to return to full health in time for the start of the 2022 campaign, and there's not yet any indication that his recovery has run into any sort of setback. The fact that the Ravens have avoided any notable running back additions during free agency would appear to speak to the team's confidence in both Dobbins' and Edwards' recoveries.
J.K. Dobbins Progressing toward return
GM Eric DeCosta relayed Wednesday that he's "very confident" that Dobbins (knee) is "going to come back and really flourish this year."
Analysis: While it remains to be seen when Dobbins -- who tore his ACL last August -- will be full go, DeCosta notes that the Ravens "are very, very confident that (the 2020 second-rounder) will come back and be the type of player that he was two years ago." Once Dobbins re-establishes the soundness of his knee, he'll look to reclaim his role in a Baltimore backfield that also has Gus Edwards (knee) and Justice Hill (Achilles) -- who are also bouncing back from injuries -- currently under contract for the coming season.
