Broncos running back Tyler Badie is back in Denver after suffering a back injury in Sunday’s win over the Jets and head coach Sean Payton offered a limited update on Badie’s status on Monday.

“We’re still evaluating him now. He’s doing better,” Payton said, via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. “Everyone that’s reached out, we appreciate the concerns. Fortunately, he was able to come back before the day ended.”

Badie was taken off the field on a cart while strapped on a backboard and he flew home on a commercial flight after being evaluated at a local hospital. The exact nature of the injury isn’t known, but Badie has movement in all his limbs and Payton said his condition has improved, the story went on to say.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams will not start training camp on PUP I’m told. It had been pointing in that direction all off season, and the team officially has decided he won’t start on PUP. A great sign for his chances Week 1.

This matches up with an earlier report that Williams thought he would be "ready to go" by Week 1. This doesn't necessarily mean that he is back to full health but this is good news nonetheless. With a slight bit of pessimism about him being all the way back to 100%, Javonte should be considered a low-end RB2 for now.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams, who suffered a torn ACL in Week 4 last season, said Sunday "the plan'' is for him to be cleared for the start of training camp and to participate at least some in practices after the team's veteran players report July 25.

The article doesn't really give any definitive answers beyond Williams being quoted as saying, "I mean, that's the plan. I feel like I'm ready to go" when asked if he would be medically cleared for training camp. An optimist could take away that it means he will be ready for Week 1, but we should probably wait for some more ringing endorsements before we jump on that train. With those worries still in the air, Javonte should still be considered a low-end RB2 for the time being.

Ravens cuts: QB Anthony Brown, RB Tyler Badie, FB Ben Mason, NT Isaiah Mack, LB Zakoby McClain, RB Nate McCrary, OLB Jeremiah Moon, DT Rayshad Nichols, TE Tony Poljan, WR Makai Polk, CB David Vereen, WR Binjimen Victor, DB Ar'Darius Washington, WR Raleigh Webb, OLB Chuck Wiley.

The team signed Drake with a lot of uncertainty surrounding Dobbins and Edwards for at least the early part of the season. It looks like Hill beats out Badie for the final RB spot. With Edwards out for Week 1 and Dobbins a big question mark, it's possibly going to be Davis, Hill and Drake getting the work if Dobbins can't go in Week 1.

As expected, Kenyan Drake is signing with the Ravens.

Those who have fantasy stock in the Ravens backfield were likely pretty worried when word got out Drake was visiting the Ravens. Now that he's signed, the backfield has got a little more crowded to say the least. Drake's role will likely be mostly pass catching, especially when the backfield is healthy. We know Edwards won't be ready for Week 1, and Dobbins remains a big question mark. That means a backfield of Davis and Drake for Week 1 is a possibility.

This means the running back will miss at least the first four games of the season as he continues to rehab from his knee injury.

We were already certain that Gus Edwards would be missing Week 1, but this puts a bigger damper on Edwards' fantasy prospects. This would presumably raise the ceiling on J.K. Dobbins as veteran RB Mike Davis shouldn't pose much of a threat outside usurping some goal-line work.

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh is still in a wait-and-see mode on whether starting running back J.K. Dobbins will be ready for the regular-season opener.

"He's made some good progress this week," Harbaugh said after Wednesday's practice. "We measure times of how fast he runs, how fast he decelerates, how fast he changes direction. You can see the improvement is tangible. So, we'll see."

Dobbins, who tore his left ACL last August, has been participating in individual drills for five days since being activated off the physically unable to perform list. The Ravens remain non-committal on if Dobbins will be recovered enough to play Sept. 11 at the New York Jets, the story went on to say. The story added Dobbins is ahead of schedule compared to Edwards who is still on the PUP list. Badie, Davis and Hill would be up next assuming neither Dobbins nor Edwards would be ready for Week 1.

Per the article, "Edwards, by the way, is not expected to be ready for the start of the season."

While Dobbins isn't likely to be seen much before the season-opener, expect to see a lot out of Badie, Justice Hill, and Corey Clement in the preseason while the Ravens get a better read on Dobbins' health. Clement seems be the special teams specialist while Hill is reportedly on the right side of the roster bubble.

As Ravens open training camp this week, RB Gus Edwards (knee) is considered questionable for Week 1 (season opener at New York Jets).

There are a lot of questions around the Ravens RBs right now. Edwards is coming back from a torn ACL that he suffered in September and kept him out all of last season. The Ravens are hoping Dobbins (knee) will be back for the regular season. Baltimore signed Davis and Clement and drafted Badie. A lot will need to be sorted out before the regular season starts as far as the Baltimore backfield goes. Assuming their studs are healthy and ready to go, Baltimore is expected to be a run-heavy team in 2022.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh addressed reporters Thursday, and among the topics were the rehabs of RBs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. Harbaugh told reporters it is too soon to tell if they will be ready for training camp, and therefore the season.

The Ravens have run with a loaded backfield for a while and the statuses of Dobbins and Edwards are leans to why Mike Davis was added to the RB room. Rookie Tyler Badie is also going to be in the mix early on as a Ravens draftee. Justice Hill will be a member of the Ravens forever at this point.
