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.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has suffered a knee injury that the team fears is a torn ACL.

We will need to wait for confirmation on whether or not Edwards did, in fact, tear his ACL, but the fact remains that he suffered what looks to be a long-term knee injury. This is a brutal blow for Edwards and the Ravens as the power back was set to be the starter with J.K. Dobbins lost for the season. Ty'Son Williams will be the next man up at running back, and one has to believe that Le'Veon Bell may indeed be elevated from the practice squad for Monday night's game if he is cleared and in football shape. Ty'Son vaults into the RB2 conversation for the time being as the Ravens will likely be adding a street free agent to their running back room in the coming days. We will provide an update and further analysis as this news develops.

The Ravens will need to make a move to add another back. Hill was slated to be behind Edwards and Williams in the pecking order. The Ravens have been recently liked to Le'Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman and Elijah Holyfield working out on Monday according to other reports. Anyone they sign will jump right into the RB3 role but it possibly makes Williams value behind Edwards a little safer.

Ravens OC Greg Roman acknowledges what was obvious after J.K. Dobbins’ injury: Gus Edwards will get a much bigger workload. “He’s our kind of guy. He’s built for what we do.”

While it's not shocking news, it's still nice to hear for Edwards owners. The one knock on Edwards is his pass-catching, but as we've pointed out it's not that he can't catch the ball, he just hasn't been asked to. He's caught 18-of-22 career targets for almost 11 yards per catch. Getting Edwards more involved in the pass catching game will certainly elevate his fantasy value. Without proven backups in Williams and Hill, it's certainly possible Edwards sees some targets.

Gus Edwards’ backup is Ty'Son Williams, a second-year player out of BYU.

The story said Williams leapfrogged Justice Hill on the depth chart. Williams impressed the Ravens with his physicality, the story added. It's definitely worth noting for those who own Edwards. The knock on Edwards is his pass catching, although the story said Edwards has slimmed down a bit and has looked faster. But it's not clear if the team will look to Williams or Hill as a third down/pass catching back. It's also possible they add a back after rosters are trimmed down.

Ravens RB coach Craig Ver Steeg says J.K. Dobbins is a natural pass catcher. His drops last season had to do with a lack of “seasoning.”

The tweet went on to say Dobbins has caught everything thrown his way this camp. We rank Dobbins 21st among our RBs in PPR leagues, but we think he has a real shot at fantasy RB1 numbers since he’s a very productive runner and the Ravens’ running game is top-notch. HC John Harbaugh indicated that he wants to involve the running backs in the passing game more often this season and Dobbins did have a sizable receiving role while at Ohio State. Edwards will still be a factor but if Dobbins can stand out in the passing game he could shoot up the rankings.

Ravens and restricted free-agent running back Gus Edwards reached agreement on a two-year, $10 million contract extension, per his agent @DrewJRosenhaus. Edwards now under contract through 2023 season.

Gus Edwards is set to function as the 1B to J.K. Dobbins' 1A in the Ravens backfield in 2021. With Mark Ingram gone, Edwards should see an increase in volume and could outperform his current RB39 ADP in Underdog drafts. He's currently ranked as RB32 in 4for4's half-PPR rankings.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.

Edwards was added to the injury report Friday. If he cannot go, Justice Hill and potentially Mark Ingram would get some work.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram will now be eligible for Wednesday’s game against the Steelers.

Dobbins and Ingram's 10-day isolation period after positive COVID-19 tests will be over on Wednesday, Pelissero said. Baltimore will still be down a dozen players, including Jackson so it will be a tough task against the Steelers. Dobbins will eat into Edwards' fantasy workload but without Jackson at QB, it could be a heavy dose of the run game with all three Raven RBs.
