Rapoport Casts Doubt On J.K. Dobbins’ Week-One Availability; Dobbins Disagrees

The Baltimore Ravens experienced a rash of injuries up and down their roster last year that is, frankly, quite rare. No area was hit harder than their running back room, with each of their top three players at the position suffering season-ending injuries in the month leading up to the regular-season opener, with second-year back J.K. Dobbins at the top of that list.

The former second-round draft pick suffered a significant ACL tear on August 28 in the Ravens’ final preseason game, an injury that also involved damage to other areas of his knee. It has left some to speculate that he may not be ready in time for the season opener, with Ian Rapoport issuing such a report yesterday.
