The Baltimore Ravens were hit extremely hard at running back with injuries over the course of 2021. The team lost three of their contributors at the position for the season in J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill, forcing the team to add multiple veterans right before the year began.

Coming back from an ACL tear is never easy, but Dobbins will have plenty of time to test out his knee and begin to feel comfortable going at full speed. He’ll hopefully be able to gradually gain back the explosiveness that saw him take the league by storm during his rookie year in 2020.
In his first NFL season, Dobbins rushed 134 times for 805 yards and nine touchdowns. He was expected to have a big year in 2021 before his injury, and there is plenty of anticipation for how he will bounce back in 2022.
