Practices fully
Dobbins (chest) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Dobbins, who made his season debut in Week 3 against the Patriots after returning from a major knee injury, was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury, but his full participation Thursday paves the way for the 2020 second-rounder to play Sunday against the Bills. After being limited to 27 snaps and seven carries in his return to action this past weekend, Dobbins could see an uptick in touches in Week 4, with Justice Hill -- who logged six carries for 60 yards…read more

Listed with chest injury
Dobbins is listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with a chest injury, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: The fact that Dobbins is on the Ravens' Week 4 injury report with a chest issue rather than anything related to his knee is a welcome sign after he complete his rehab from an ACL tear in the summer before he was cleared to make his season debut in the Week 3 win over New England. The Patriots limited Dobbins to 23 yards on seven carries and 17 yards on two catches (43 percent snap share), while Justice Hill took six carries for 60 yards on 48 percent of snaps. Assuming the chest injury isn't…read more

Nine touches in Week 3 debut
Dobbins (knee) rushed seven times for 23 yards and secured both targets for 17 yards in the Ravens' 37-26 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Dobbins made his long-awaited return from his August 2021 knee injury and actually paced the Ravens' running backs in carries. Game script eventually tilted more toward the passing attack late, and Lamar Jackson also paced all Baltimore players with 11 carries, but Dobbins is likely to get a bump in opportunity in a Week 4 home showdown against the Bills.

Returns to action
Dobbins (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: Dobbins, who is bouncing back from a major knee injury that he suffered during Baltimore's 2021 preseason finale, participated fully in practices last week, but he was made inactive in Week 2 against the Dolphins as the team elected to proceed cautiously with the running back. With another week's worth of full practice participation under his belt, the 2020 second-rounder is now slated to make his season debut, though it's plausible he'll be eased back into the mix some in terms of snaps and…read more

Expected to make season debut
Dobbins (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Dobbins fully practiced for a second straight week and is expected to play in his first regular season game since his rookie campaign, when he totaled 152 touches for 925 yards and nine touchdowns. The 2020 second-round pick suffered a major knee injury during Baltimore's 2021 preseason finale, and the Ravens have remained cautious with the running back despite encouraging advancements in his rehab.

Listed as questionable for Week 3
Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after practicing fully this week.
Analysis: While the running back is trending in the right direction after practicing fully for the second straight week, coach John Harbaugh fell short of confirming that Dobbins will be in uniform Sunday, per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site. "(He's) working hard, I'm happy how he's working," Harbaugh said of Dobbins, who is working his way back from a major knee injury that he suffered during Baltimore's 2021 preseason finale.

Still week-to-week
Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Dobbins (knee) remains week-to-week, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Harbaugh declined to offer any information about Dobbins' chances of playing Week 3 versus New England, so the 2020 second-round pick still remains without a solid return timetable. Though Dobbins managed to resume practicing in full last week, the Ravens continue to take a cautious approach to his return from a serious left knee injury. That said, as long as Dobbins can continue looking good in practices without any setbacks, he could convince Harbaugh and Baltimore's coaching staff that Week…read more

Inactive Sunday
Dobbins (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Dobbins was able to participate fully in practices this past week, but the Ravens are electing to ease the running back into the mix given that he's bouncing back from a major knee injury that he suffered during the team's 2021 preseason finale.

On track to sit out Week 2
Dobbins (knee) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but the Ravens plan to exercise caution and hold him out from playing this week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Dobbins participated fully in practices this week and has experienced no apparent setbacks with the surgery he underwent last September on his left knee, which addressed ACL, LCL and meniscus damage in addition to damage to his hamstring. Still, the Ravens likely want to see Dobbins get in some more on-field reps before clearing him to make his season debut, which is now expected to come Week 3 at New England.

Looking unlikely for Week 2
Dobbins (knee) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins and is pushing to play, but the Ravens appear unlikely to have him active Week 2, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Heading into Sunday's contest, Dobbins looks like he's trending toward not playing, though he could still have an opportunity to convince Baltimore's coaching staff during pregame warmups that he's ready to make his 2022 debut. In any case, an official word on Dobbins' status will be revealed 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Even in the event that the 2020 second-round pick is given a chance to play Sunday, he would likely be on a restricted snap count. Kenyan Drake, Mike Davis…read more

Practices fully, but questionable
Though he was listed as a full practice participant this week, Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Normally a week of full practice sessions would result in a player heading into his team's upcoming contest minus an injury designation, but with Dobbins working his way back from a major knee injury that he suffered during the Ravens' 2021 preseason finale, the team so far has fallen short of declaring him available for Week 2 action. Per Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun, Dobbins said Friday that he feels "amazing," but with regard to whether he'll suit up versus Miami, the running back…read more

Another full practice
Dobbins (knee) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Back-to-back full sessions have Dobbins trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. That said, it's still plausible that the running back -- who suffered a season-ending ACL tear before the start of the 2021 campaign -- ends up officially listed as questionable by the Ravens ahead of Week 2 action. Friday's final injury report of the week thus is destined to determine whether Dobbins heads into the weekend carrying an injury designation or fully cleared to play.

Trending toward playing Week 2
Dobbins (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, putting him on track to play in Sunday's game against Miami, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dobbins was a limited participant all of last week, and while some reports called him a game-time decision, he never seemed especially likely to play before he sat out the Ravens' season-opening win over the Jets. His status could come down to a more legitimate game-time call again this week, or at least the Ravens may want to create that appearance. If so, a 1 p.m. ET kickoff makes things easier on fantasy managers who may be deciding whether to deploy Dobbins in their Week 2 lineups.

Dobbins (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Though Dobbins, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear before the start of the 2021 campaign, was able to practice in a limited fashion this past week, the Ravens will play it safe here, with the running back's next chance to suit up arriving next weekend against the Dolphins. As a result, Mike Davis, Kenyan Drake -- who the team signed Aug. 31 -- and Justice Hill are available to handle the team's backfield duties versus the Jets, with some form of time-share likely in play.

Appears likely to sit Week 1
Dobbins (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener versus the Jets, is considered a game-time decision but is "unlikely to play," a source tells Dianna Russini of ESPN.
Analysis: The source notes that Dobbins is "going to try" to give it a go in pregame warmups, but even if he feels fine physically following his morning workout, the Ravens could still be inclined to err on the side of caution and hold him out for Week 1 while he builds back to 100 percent after undergoing surgery Sept. 7, 2021 to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Dobbins was a limited participant in all three of the Ravens' practices this week, so the team may want to see him log a full workout before…read more

Listed as questionable
Dobbins (knee) remained limited at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: It's hard to know if the Ravens truly are unsure about his availability or are hoping to benefit from gamesmanship. Either way, a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff is good news for fantasy managers, leaving no shortage of alternatives if Dobbins lands on the inactive list. Ravens QB Lamar Jackson seemed to hint at that outcome earlier in the week, while coach John Harbaugh was more optimistic, describing Dobbins as "ascending quickly" after Friday's practice.

Limited again Thursday
Dobbins (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Per Kevin Eck of the Ravens' official site, head coach John Harbaugh noted Wednesday that Dobbins -- who suffered a season-ending ACL tear before the start of the 2021 campaign -- is "ascending quickly." With that in mind, clarity on Dobbins' Week 1 status could arrive once Friday's injury report is posted. If Dobbins is out or limited Sunday against the Jets, Mike Davis, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill would be next up for touches in Baltimore's backfield.

A limited designation on the first official injury report of the season was to be expected, considering Dobbins was activated from the PUP list Aug. 8 but seemingly still hasn't been cleared for contact.

Status for Week 1 remains unknown
Head coach Jim Harbaugh said that Wednesday's signing of Kenyan Drake isn't an indication that Dobbins (knee) won't be ready for the Ravens' regular-season opener Sept. 11 against the Jets, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. "J.K. has looked better every day," Harbaugh added. "His quickness is kind of back."
Analysis: After Baltimore restored Dobbins from the active/PUP list Aug. 8, he didn't exhibit his typical burst on the field right away, but as Harbaugh noted, the third-year running back has looked more explosive in practice of late. The Ravens won't have the services of Gus Edwards (knee) for at least the first four games of the upcoming campaign, so Drake's addition can be seen more as providing depth for a team that boasts a run-heavy scheme. A better indication of Dobbins' Week 1 availability could…read more

Analysis: Harbaugh made similar comments a week and a half ago and hasn't said much else about the running back since he was removed from the PUP list Aug. 8. Dobbins has increased his activity level over the past three weeks but still needs to be cleared for contact before the Ravens can truly evaluate his readiness in practice.

May not be ready for Week 1
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that it's too early to know if Dobbins (knee) will play Week 1, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Harbaugh's unwillingness to commit to Dobbins' availability for the start of the season isn't overly surprising, though it shouldn't necessarily be taken as a sign that the running back is trending in the wrong direction as Week 1 approaches. The coach still acknowledged that Dobbins is making good progress, albeit with significant hurdles remaining in his recovery from the ACL tear he suffered last August, including a return to contact work in practice.

Taking baby steps in practice
Dobbins (knee) lined up and ran plays during Monday's practice, albeit without defenders on the field, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's progress from his recent participation in individual drills, moving Dobbins a step closer to an actual 11-on-11 practice. He was activated from the PUP list last Monday (Aug. 8) and isn't likely to play in the preseason, but a return for Week 1 seems tentatively on track.

Going through individual drills
Dobbins (knee) didn't practice over the weekend but is back on the field for individual drills Monday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While he still hasn't progressed to full-team work, Dobbins at least seems to be avoiding setbacks so far. An appearance this preseason might be asking too much, but he at least has a shot to be ready Week 1. The Ravens don't have much else behind him, with Mike Davis the favorite for the No. 2 role in the increasingly likely event Gus Edwards (knee) isn't ready for the season opener. Dobbins and Edwards both suffered ACL tears before Week 1 last year.

"I thought he looked pretty good in individual (drills)," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said afterward. "You guys saw him moving around, running the ballhandling drill. That will be the first step.

Analysis: Per the report, Dobbins, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last year on Aug. 28, figures to be eased into action by the Ravens, likely starting with individual drills. When he's 100 percent, Dobbins profiles as the team's lead back, while Gus Edwards is a candidate to be next in line for backfield touches when he returns from a knee injury of his own.

Analysis: Dobbins remains on the PUP list after more than a week of training camp, though he said at the very beginning that he felt he was ready for practice. The Ravens are holding him back, albeit with Harbaugh acknowledging multiple times that Dobbins is ahead of Gus Edwards in the rehab process.

Dobbins (knee) said Wednesday that he believes he's ready to take part in team drills, but he'll remain limited to on-field workouts following practices early on during training camp, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Ravens evidently want to take things a bit slower than Dobbins that he does, as the running back said last week that he hoped to avoid the active/PUP list. The Ravens placed him on the list ahead of training camp, but he sounds like he'll be activated soon to rejoin his teammates at practice.

Analysis: The same applies to fellow running back Gus Edwards, who, like Dobbins, is bouncing back from a torn ACL that he suffered prior to the start of the 2021 regular season. Both players can come off the PUP list at any time during training camp, though neither has a concrete timetable for a return to practice.

May not be ready for Week 1
Dobbins (knee) hasn't dealt with any setbacks in his rehab process but nonetheless is uncertain to be ready for Week 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The reporting last year largely focused on Dobbins' ACL tear after he injured his knee late in the preseason, with the timing of the incident seemingly giving him a good chance to be ready for Week 1 of 2022. The problem is that he also injured his LCL and meniscus, potentially extending the rehab timeline, though he did have surgery only two weeks after his initial injury.

Analysis: Also mentioned in the same group by Harbaugh was LT Ronnie Stanley, who missed most of the past two seasons after breaking his ankle. Dobbins suffered an even more serious injury, with his ACL tear in August accompanied by LCL damage. Harbaugh said all three players are on schedule in their respective rehab processes, but that could put Dobbins behind the others nonetheless, as Edwards suffered his ACL tear just two weeks later with no reported damage to other ligaments.

Progressing toward return
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said Wednesday that he's "very confident" that Dobbins (knee) will make a healthy return in 2022.
Analysis: It's unclear at what point Dobbins -- who tore his ACL last August -- will be cleared for full activity, but DeCosta intimated the Ravens have confidence the 2020 second-round pick will eventually re-emerge as the dual-threat running back he was as a rookie. Once Dobbins completes his rehab program, he'll look to reclaim his role in a Baltimore backfield that also has Gus Edwards (knee) and Justice Hill (Achilles) currently under contract for the coming season.

Surgery successful
Dobbins underwent successful surgery to repair his torn ACL on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Dobbins is expected to make a full recovery, and the timing of his injury should allow the starting running back to be ready by the start of next season if he avoids any setbacks. With fellow running back Gus Edwards sustaining a potentially serious knee injury of his own in practice Thursday, the Ravens are perilously thin in the backfield heading into the 2021 season.

The Ravens placed Dobbins (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Dobbins sustained a season-ending ACL tear during Saturday's preseason game against Washington, so his shift to IR doesn't come as any sort of surprise. The transaction officially rules him out for the 2021 campaign. With Dobbins out of the picture this season, Gus Edwards appears slated to kick off Sept. 13's season opener against the Raiders as Baltimore's backfield leader, with Ty'Son Williams and Justice Hill (ankle) also available to share the workload.

Sustains season-ending ACL tear
Dobbins (knee) will miss the entire 2021 season after an MRI conducted Sunday confirmed that the running back sustained a torn ACL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: With that, look for Dobbins to head to injured reserve in the coming days. Meanwhile, Gus Edwards is slated to open the 2021 season as Baltimore's lead rusher, with Ty'Son Williams and Justice Hill (ankle) also in the mix for the team's backfield touches. Dobbins will face an arduous rehab for his left knee and could be limited for OTAs and potentially the start of training camp in 2022.

Injury likely season-ending
Dobbins is undergoing an MRI on his left knee, but the expectation is that the running back suffered a season-ending injury in Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, it is feared that Dobbins tore his ACL, but either way it looks like the Ravens are bracing to lose their top back for an extended period. Gus Edwards thus is poised to open the 2021 season as the team's lead rusher, with Ty'Son Williams and Justice Hill (ankle) also in the mix for backfield touches.

There's concern that Dobbins may have sustained a major left knee injury during Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While coach John Harbaugh declined to comment on his level of concern regarding the second-year back's injury after the contest, he did relay that Dobbins is set to undergo tests Sunday, noting "we'll see where we're at, at that point in time." Although a timetable for the 2020 second-rounder is pending the results of the medical evaluations he's slated to undergo, Zrebiec speculates that even if the Ravens "get good news Sunday on Dobbins, he's going to miss extensive time." In such a…read more

To undergo tests Sunday
Coach John Harbaugh said after Saturday's preseason win at Washington that Dobbins (knee/leg) will "get tested tomorrow, and we'll see where we're at, at that point in time."
Analysis: Dobbins remained on the field for a spell at the end of a two-yard gain on a screen pass. He required assistance to reach the sideline tent and eventually needed a cart to get to the locker room. Following Sunday's examination, the Ravens likely have a better idea of the extent of his injury, which currently is murky. If Dobbins is sidelined for any length of time, Gus Edwards figures to be the team's No. 1 running back in those contests, with some combination of Justice Hill (ankle) and Ty'Son…read more

Taken to locker room after injury
Dobbins (knee/leg) was carted to the locker room after his early exit from Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Trainers helped Dobbins off the field and toward the medical tent, where he spent a few minutes before being sent off on a cart for the locker room. He's done for the day after making brief appearances in each of Baltimore's three preseason games, wrapping things up in the worst way possible. If Dobbins isn't ready for the regular-season opener, Gus Edwards will lead Baltimore's backfield in a friendly road matchup with Las Vegas.

Exits with potential knee injury
Dobbins was helped off the field after suffering an apparent left leg/knee injury during the first quarter of Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dobbins stayed down on the field at the end of a two-yard gain on a screen pass. He limped off with his arms around trainers after a couple minutes and presumably will be held out for the rest of the game. With Justice Hill (undisclosed) already out, the remaining Baltimore RBs are Gus Edwards, Ty'Son Williams and Nate McCrary.

Four carries Saturday
Dobbins ran for eight yards on four carries in Saturday's preseason game against Carolina.
Analysis: Dobbins and Gus Edwards both saw four carries, giving Baltimore's two lead running backs a chance to work a bit on their rhythm with the regular season approaching. With no Mark Ingram around, it could provide a viable breakout platform for Dobbins after running for 805 yards and nine touchdowns on 134 carries last year (6.0 YPC).

No running room against Saints
Dobbins rushed three times for no gain and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Saturday's 17-14 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Dobbins was stuffed for a one-yard loss on 4th-and-1 to end Baltimore's second drive and couldn't get going in his limited action, though not having Lamar Jackson by his side may have cut into Dobbins' effectiveness in his limited action. The Ravens' starting running back will look to up his production in Week 2 of the preseason against the Panthers.

Gets co-starter tag for preseason opener
Dobbins is listed as a co-starter alongside Gus Edwards for the Ravens' preseason opener against the Saints.
Analysis: The expectation throughout the offseason has been that Dobbins would be the clear-cut lead back for the Ravens, but this depth chart puts that into some question. Edwards was extended during the offseason and has had a significant role in the offense that will not simply disappear. Dobbins still projects to be the starter and the No. 1, and it's important to note that this is merely a preseason depth chart. That said, Edwards' usage must be seriously considered when analyzing Dobbins' workload…read more

Improving as pass catcher
Head coach Jim Harbaugh indicated Tuesday that Dobbins has made significant progress in the passing game, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dobbins displayed explosiveness as a runner last season (6.0 YPC) but appears to be targeting additional reps by enhancing his abilities as a receiver. This is especially important to point out given that Harbaugh also emphasized Tuesday his interest in getting running backs more involved in that realm in 2021. Dobbins saw his workload increase down the stretch last season, averaging 12.8 carries for 82.5 yards and 1.2 rushing touchdowns per game over his final six regular-season games played,…read more

TD streak broken in playoff loss
Dobbins ran the ball 10 times for 42 yards, hauling in three of five targets for 51 yards during Saturday's 17-3 divisional-round loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Dobbins came into the AFC playoff matchup having posted eight rushing scores over his past seven outings, but Buffalo held the rookie back without a TD despite him receiving three red-zone opportunities. As was a prevailing trend over the latter stages of the season with Mark Ingram a frequent healthy scratch, Baltimore deployed Gus Edwards and Dobbins in equal measure on the ground as each back garnered 10 rush attempts Saturday night. The rookie from Ohio State closed out the campaign with…read more

Continues scoring streak
Dobbins rushed nine times for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 wild-card win over the Titans. He also caught his only target for minus-6 yards.
Analysis: Dobbins was once again efficient on the ground despite not racking up the yards overall. His four-yard touchdown to start the third quarter gave the Ravens their first lead of the game, one they wouldn't relinquish. In finding the end zone, the rookie has now scored at least once in each of his last seven games, putting Dobbins in fantastic form ahead of the AFC divisional round.

Erupts to close regular season
Dobbins rushed the ball 13 times for 160 yards and two touchdowns in Week 17 against the Bengals.
Analysis: Dobbins had a relatively quite first half, logging eight rushes for 45 yards. However, he had a big role in closing out the Ravens' victory, racking up touchdowns of 72 and four yards. After failing to command double-digit rushing attempts in the team's first six games, Dobbins has exploded in his final nine contests by racking up 651 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He'll enter the Ravens' playoff matchup as the team's lead back.

Solid effort despite brief exit
Dobbins rushed 11 times for 77 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Ravens' 27-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Dobbins was forced briefly from the game in the second half with a chest injury, and although he returned to the contest, he did not log any additional touches. The rookie put some good work in for the day, however, scoring his seventh touchdown of the season on a two-yard run in the first quarter and also boosting his overall numbers with a game-long 25-yard run. Dobbins will head into a Week 17 road battle versus the vulnerable Bengals defense with at least 70 rushing yards in three of his…read more

Dobbins carried the ball 14 times for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Jaguars. He added one reception for 17 yards.
Analysis: Dobbins paced the Ravens' backfield, though Gus Edwards still commanded nine carries to eat into his workload. His longest rush came on the fifth play from scrimmage, when he racked up 11 yards along the left side of the offensive line. Dobbins continued to rush well throughout the first half, ripping off runs of seven, eight and nine yards on two separate drives before plunging into the end zone from two yards away.

Finds end zone again
Dobbins rushed 13 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 47-42 win over the Browns. He also ran in a successful two-point conversion.
Analysis: Dobbins led the Ravens in rushes, ahead of Gus Edwards' seven. Although Edwards also scored twice while accumulating 49 yards on the ground, Dobbins was once again impressive with his workload. With a one-yard touchdown during the third quarter, the rookie has now scored in three straight games, garnering double-digit carries in each of those outings as well.

Notches TD against Cowboys
Dobbins collected 71 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries during Tuesday's 34-17 win against Dallas.
Analysis: Baltimore dominated the Cowboys' porous rush defense, with Gus Edwards (101), Lamar Jackson (94) and Dobbins helping the Ravens become the second team since the start of last season to have three different players hit 70-plus rushing yards in a game, per NFL Research. The return of Mark Ingram from the reserve/COVID-19 list did not have a notably detrimental impact on Dobbins' workload, with the veteran garnering just six carries against the Cowboys.

Backfield back at full strength
The Ravens will have a fully stocked backfield Tuesday against the Cowboys following the activation of Mark Ingram (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list, which could impact Dobbins' workload.
Analysis: Since Baltimore's Week 7 bye, Ingram has missed three of five games and earned just nine touches. Meanwhile, Dobbins has been active four times en route to 53 touches for 255 yards from scrimmage and one TD; Gus Edwards has played in all five contests, with 49 touches for 210 total yards and three scores; and Justice Hill similarly has logged time in each one on his way to 12 touches for 43 total yards.

Dobbins was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday.
Analysis: The Ravens made a series of transactions Friday, and Dobbins now is back on the active roster. The Ravens have multiple practice opportunities remaining before Tuesday's game against the Cowboys, which should give Dobbins time to prepare. It's worth noting as well that Mark Ingram was not among those activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, so that could be one less player to compete with for carries when it comes to Dobbins.

Week 13 status to be determined
Coach John Harbaugh said that Dobbins (illness) didn't play Wednesday as part of a "medical decision," Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com "Are they physically ready to go play in a game like that without practice? Those are all the things that doctors take into consideration," Harbaugh said in reference to Dobbins and Mark Ingram (illness).
Analysis: Dobbins wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Wednesday's loss to the Steelers despite being eligible after clearing the minimum isolation period. However, Baltimore kept both Dobbins and Ingram out, and Harbaugh alluded to a lack of practice time playing a role. The Ravens haven't commented on Dobbins' status for Tuesday's game against the Cowboys, but if he's able to practice in the coming days, it could be enough to get him activated.

Martin of ESPN relaying that neither running back flew with the team to Pittsburgh on Tuesday night. With both Dobbins and Ingram sidelined, Gus Edwards is in line to start Week 12, and he should take on the bulk of the carries while fourth-stringer Justice Hill works as the top change-of-pace option out of the backfield.

Chance to play Wednesday
Dobbins (illness) and Mark Ingram (illness) will be eligible to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Wednesday's matchup with the Steelers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The game was postponed again from Tuesday to Wednesday, potentially providing the pair of running backs the chance to rejoin the active roster ahead of the contest. The fact it's now possible doesn't definitively mean it will happen, but their minimum isolation period will have expired. Regardless, the return of Dobbins or Ingram would be a big boost for the Ravens, who already will be without quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness).

Tests positive for COVID-19
Dobbins (illness) will be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Both Dobbins and position mate Mark Ingram (illness) have tested positive for COVID-19 following Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Titans, which resulted in Baltimore's team facilities being shut down Monday. The news leaves Gus Edwards and Justice Hill as the Ravens' only running backs heading into a primetime Thanksgiving Day contest against the Steelers, so Ty'Son Williams could be a candidate to bump up from the practice squad.

Dobbins rushed the ball 15 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Titans. He added two receptions for 15 yards.
Analysis: Dobbins matched his career-high mark in carries, leading the Ravens backfield in workload even with Mark Ingram healthy. He took advantage of his opportunity, consistently picking up chunks of yardage to average 4.7 yards per carry. Dobbins was also trusted near the goal line, punching in a touchdown from two yards away late in the second quarter.

Impacted by Ingram return
Dobbins had five carries for 13 yards against the Patriots and added a one-yard reception.
Analysis: Mark Ingram's return muddled the backfield rotation Sunday, and Dobbins' production was impacted as a result. He played fewer than 50 percent of the snaps for the first time since Week 6, and his carries dropped to the single digits for the first time since then as well. Dobbins has just one game with more than 50 yards and has not scored a touchdown since the season opener. With Ingram back, Dobbins may be ticketed for frustrating workloads down the stretch.

Held in check by Colts
Dobbins carried the ball 12 times for 30 yards and caught both his targets for five yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.
Analysis: The Ravens' ground attack as a whole averaged only 2.9 yards a carry on the afternoon, but unlike Lamar Jackson and Gus Edwards, Dobbins wasn't able to boost his production with a touchdown. The rookie's workload in Week 10 will largely depend on whether Mark Ingram (ankle) is ready to rejoin the lineup.

Dobbins and Gus Edwards are expected to take on elevated roles Sunday in Indianapolis with Mark Ingram (ankle) listed as doubtful for the contest, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Dobbins and Edwards received 16 touches apiece, but the former played 54 snaps and accrued 121 yards from scrimmage, while the latter played 26 and put up 87 yards.

Dobbins registered 113 rushing yards on 15 carries, adding one catch for eight yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Dobbins hadn't been handed more than nine carries in a game this season entering Sunday, but with Mark Ingram inactive (ankle), the rookie churned out more than double his previous career high in rushing yardage (48). Both Dobbins and Gus Edwards enjoyed success on the ground against Pittsburgh's stout front seven, splitting the carries 16-15 and racking up a combined 200 yards.

Dobbins carried nine times for 28 yards and caught two of four targets for one additional yard during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Dobbins' stats were nothing to write home about, but Mark Ingram left the game with an ankle injury, opening the door for the rookie to take on double-digit touches for the first time in his young career. The extent of Ingram's injury remains to be seen, but he will have an extra week to heal as the Ravens go on bye before returning to face the Steelers in Week 8.

Garners four touches in Week 5
Dobbins carried once for 34 yards and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards Sunday in the Ravens' 27-3 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Even with the Ravens controlling the game from start to finish, coach John Harbaugh elected not to find more work for the rookie, whose 18 snaps were fewer than fellow running backs Gus Edwards (25) and Mark Ingram (19). Dobbins was efficient with his opportunities and is now averaging 7.9 yards per carry and 7.3 yards per target on the season, but he shouldn't be counted on to see his role dramatically increase in the near future.

Dobbins had five carries for 16 yards and one catch for two yards Sunday against the Football Team.
Analysis: The rookie was more involved than he had been in recent weeks, seeing more than two carries for the first time since the season opener. Still, it was just five carries for Dobbins on 21 snaps while Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards all saw at least seven attempts. Edwards' rushes seem to be coming at Dobbins' expense as he has out-carried Dobbins in three straight weeks.

Dobbins rushed once for six yards and caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in Monday night's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Dobbins saw next to no involvement on the ground as Baltimore trailed for most of the game, resulting in all three of the team's tailbacks finishing with under 40 rushing yards. To his credit, though, Dobbins made an impact through the air, actually leading the Ravens in receptions and receiving yards. Although his modest totals won't wow anyone, the rookie at least salvaged some production in an awful Ravens offensive outing.

Analysis: Dobbins' usage was surprisingly low Sunday after his impressive two-touchdown debut Week 1. He played 20 snaps, which was the same amount as Gus Edwards, but Edwards had 10 carries for a team-high 73 yards. The Ravens have deployed a fairly even backfield rotation thus far with Mark Ingram leading the way with 48 percent of the snap share while Dobbins has played 43 percent of the snaps and Edwards checks in at 35 percent.

Dobbins ran for 22 yards and two touchdowns on seven rush attempts during Sunday's 38-6 win against the Browns.
Analysis: Veteran Mark Ingram garnered 10 of Baltimore's 21 running-back carries, but Dobbins was the benefactor of the ever-valuable goal-line carry, scoring on touchdown plunges of two and three yards during Sunday's contest. Ingram was handed two red-zone carries after ranking 10th in the category during 2019, but Dobbins handled both of Baltimore's RB rush attempts within the 5-yard line.

However, reports from training camp suggested Dobbins was both busy and impressive on the practice field, and coach John Harbaugh said last week that he expects the rookie to have a significant role on offense.

Coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday that he expects Dobbins to have a significant role on offense, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Harbaugh generally lets his coordinators and position coaches make decisions on playing time, but there's no doubt he has a pretty good idea how things will break down. While Mark Ingram is expected to remain the starter, it's certainly possible Dobbins gets more work than Gus Edwards did last season.

Analysis: The rookie out of Ohio State has been making highlight-reel worthy plays on a daily basis, according to Zrebiec, and some of his most impressive work has been in the passing game. Dobbins has made acrobatic catches in the end zone on back-to-back days and seems to be making a smooth transition to the pros overall.

Envisioned as three-down back
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said Wednesday that he foresees Dobbins working as a "three-down back," Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dobbins may not immediately fill that three-down role as a rookie with Mark Ingram hanging around, but the veteran's contract would allow the team to part ways with him following the 2020 season with limited repercussions if it chooses to do so. If that comes to pass, Dobbins, would only have to beat out 2019 fourth-round pick Justice Hill to lay claim to a full workload, as Gus Edwards becomes a free agent after the 2020 season. The prospect of Dobbins potentially handling a heavy workload in…read more
