Expected to have knee scoped Dobbins is expected to undergo an arthroscopic knee procedure next week that could sideline the running back 4-to-6 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Dobbins already has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, but it looks like his absence will extend beyond Week 7. As long as he's unavailable, look for Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill to see added backfield touches, with Mike Davis in reserve and Gus Edwards (knee) a candidate to factor in once he's activated from the PUP list.

Ruled out for Sunday Dobbins (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns after not practicing this week.
Impact With Dobbins out and thus targeting a potential return to action this coming Thursday against the Buccaneers look for Kenyan Drake to see an expanded workload in Week 7, with Justice Hill mixing in, Mike Davis in reserve and Gus Edwards (knee, PUP list) a potential activation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Missing third straight practice Dobbins (knee) is not practicing Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Dobbins hasn't practiced in any capacity since his surgically repaired left knee tightened up versus the Giants in Week 6, and at this point it would be surprising if he's active for a significant role versus the Browns on Sunday. Friday's official practice report will provide Dobbins with an official game designation, but if he can't go the Ravens will lean on Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill and perhaps Gus Edwards (knee, currently on the PUP list) to handle increased backfield roles against Cleveland.

DNP on Thursday Dobbins (knee) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Dobbins didn't play in the second half of the Ravens' Week 6 loss at the Giants after his surgically repaired left knee tightened up. He hasn't practiced in the interim, which isn't a great sign that he'll be available Sunday versus the Browns. In the end, the team could clear up Dobbins' status when it releases Friday's injury report, but Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill and even Gus Edwards (knee, currently on the PUP list) could be beneficiaries this weekend and beyond.

Misses practice Wednesday Dobbins (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com Dobbins' surgically repaired left knee tightened up during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants, so the running back's status will be worth tracking ahead of this weekend's game against the Browns. A return to practice Thursday on Dobbins' part would presumably put him on track to suit up this weekend, but if he's out or limited against Cleveland, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill would be candidates to see added touches. Gus Edwards could also join the mix if he's activated from the PUP list later this week.

Knee tightens up Sunday Dobbins' knee tightened up during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Impact As a result, Kenyan Drake led the Ravens' rushing attack in the second half of the game en route to logging 10 carries for 119 yards and a TD. Dobbins, who finished the contest with seven carries for 15 yards, missed all of last season due to a knee injury, so his status will be worth closely monitoring ahead of next weekend's game against the Browns. Meanwhile, Justice Hill missed this Sunday's game with a hamstring injury and Gus Edwards (knee) is progressing but still on the PUP list.

Just eight carries in win Dobbins (chest) rushed eight times for 44 yards and was not targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 19-17 win over Cincinnati.
Impact Dobbins saw his usage inexplicably halved coming off of his strongest game of the season last week. The 2020 second-round pick missed Wednesday's practice with a chest injury before being fully cleared later in the week, and there were no post-game reports of any aggravation to either his chest or surgically-repaired knee. While this could be written off as a strategic decision, it doesn't explain why recent free-agent addition Kenyan Drake seemed to take over as the primary back in the fourth quarter and the entire final game-winning drive. Dobbins' fantasy managers are hoping for more than eight touches against the Giants next Sunday.

Turns in full practice Dobbins (chest) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact His ability to take every rep at Thursday's session likely confirms that his absence from Wednesday's session was for maintenance purposes. With Dobbins expected to gradually increase his usage and workload in the weeks to come now that he's returned from the knee surgery that sidelined him for all of 2021 and the first two contests of the current season, the Ravens could continue to cap his practice reps early on in weeks to ensure he's at optimal health heading into game days. Dobbins will once again headline the Ravens' backfield Sunday against Bengals, but it's unclear who might be complementing him. Justice Hill (hamstring) was his top understudy the past two weeks but looks to be trending toward sitting out Sunday, while Gus Edwards (knee) returned to practice Wednesday but may need another week or two to ramp up before the Ravens activate him from the PUP list.

Present for practice Thursday Dobbins (chest) returned to practice Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact It remains to be seen if the Ravens list Dobbins as a limited or full participant, but his return to the field Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice bodes well for his chances of continuing to lead the team's ground game this weekend against the Bengals.

Held out with chest injury Dobbins missed Wednesday's practice with a chest injury.
Impact Dobbins was slow to get up at one point in a 23-20 loss to the Bills this past Sunday, but he ended up playing down the stretch after Justice Hill left with a hamstring injury. Dobbins scored a pair of touchdowns early in the game but ultimately finished with modest production overall (13 carries for 41 yards and four catches for 22 yards). Dobbins is more likely than Hill to play this coming Sunday against the Bengals, but the Ravens will need some kind of contribution from Mike Davis or Kenyan Drake, and they might even need a replacement for Dobbins if his chest injury doesn't improve throughout the week.

Pair of TDs in loss Dobbins rushed 13 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and secured all four targets for 22 yards and another score in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Impact Playing in his second game of the season following a year-plus absence due to a gruesome August 2021 knee injury, Dobbins saw his touch count bump up after a quiet season debut in Week 3. The third-year back paced the ground attack in carries and made his first two trips to the end zone since the 2020 season, scoring on a one-yard shovel pass and a four-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Dobbins unsurprisingly found running room mostly at a premium against a tough Bills defense -- outside of his game-long 16-yard run, he gained 25 yards on his other 12 carries -- but his ability to handle a heavier workload and his solid amount of involvement in the passing game were both very encouraging for fantasy managers. Dobbins' next opportunity to continue rounding into form comes in a Week 5 Sunday night divisional battle against the Bengals.
