The Baltimore Ravens suffered a massive amount of injuries during the 2021 season. They lost running backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards as well as cornerback Marcus Peters for the year with torn ACLs, but each injury is different with varying damage and recovery times in terms of getting back to full strength and returning to the field.
When talking to Mark Viviano and Torrey Smith, Dobbins detailed the extent of his knee injury that he suffered in the third preseason game of the 2021 season against Washington. He revealed that it wasn’t just his ACL that was impacted, but also his LCL, hamstring and meniscus.

Dobbins was sorely missed in the Baltimore offense during the 2021 season, and there has been plenty of optimism regarding his return. Although he wasn’t able to suit up in Week 1 against the New York Jets it looks as if he appears to be close to taking the field once again, and it’s clear that he’s ready to play the game that he loves.
