Ravens’ RB J.K. Dobbins is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery next week that would sideline him 4-6 weeks.

Related Players: Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill, Gus Edwards

After missing the entirety of the 2021 season, Dobbins has played in only four games this year, and may not be back until Week 13. Gus Edwards could return to action as early as this week but hasn't played himself since 2020. This backfield is a mess at the moment, with Kenyan Drake being the only usable piece, and that is only in the case that Edwards gets ruled out.

Thought J.K. Dobbins looked really good in early portion of practice. Was moving around and cutting well.

Ian Rapoport reported Dobbins practiced fully today. The Ravens didn't have much of a ground game in Week 1 so a Dobbins return would be a welcome sight. Davis carried just two times for 11 yards and Drake added 11 runs but for just 31 yards.

John Harbaugh continues to say that RB J.K. Dobbins looks better every day. His quickness stood out to Harbaugh today.

With Edwards out, the Ravens are hoping Dobbins can be ready for Week 1, but they've taken some precautions in case he's not. Davis would likely see a bulk of the early down work with perhaps the newly signed Drake mixing right in. If not, Hill could see some passing down action as well.

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.

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.

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.

RB Mike Davis is signing with the Baltimore Ravens. He was released by the Falcons last week.

The Ravens are once again doing their best to be a backfield you avoid. Sure, a few of these backs will be cut or not utilized but the idea of carrying a fistful of RBs on the roster that have NFL experience and success is frustrating.

Having lost RBs J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hill to season-ending injuries, the Ravens are signing veteran RB Le’Veon Bell to their practice squad, per source.

Schefter believes Bell will be added to the roster soon, which means he'll look for work behind Edwards. Bell didn't show a lot last season, but he'll likely get some touches along with Williams in the Ravens run-heavy offense. It seems like Williams will still be the team's RB2 after an impressive showing in camp.
