Dobbins missed the entire 2021 season due to a torn ACL suffered in the preseason
He missed more time in 2022 with another serious knee injury.
The Baltimore Ravens are reportedly worried that running back J.K. Dobbins tore his Achilles tendon in the NFL season opener.
Dobbins ran at 10 o’clock:
21 in the third quarter, when Houston Texans safety M.J. Stewart appeared to land on the onrusher’s ankle.
Dobbins needed help getting into the tunnel and the team later confirmed that he would not return for the remainder of the match.
If the Ravens’ worst fears are true, this will mark Dobbins’ third consecutive season with a leg injury.
It also hurt Dobbins’ wallet — as Ohio State’s fourth-year running back will see his contract expire at the end of this season. Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (27) injured his leg during a safety tackle by M.J. Stewart (29) in Texas
This would be the third consecutive serious leg injury that Dobbins has suffered while playing in a contract year.
Dobbins tore his ACL in 2021 and only played seven games in 2022 due to additional knee injuries
Dobbins exploded during the 2020 season — totaling 805 yards and nine touchdowns on 134 carries in 15 games during his rookie season.
But since then, serious injuries have severely hindered his NFL career.
In 2021, Dobbins tore his ACL in the Ravens’ final preseason game against the then-named Washington Football Team. As a result, he missed the remainder of the season. The following year, Dobbins missed the first two weeks of the season while recovering from an injury from the previous year.
When he returned for week three, he started strong. But a knee injury in Week 6 kept him out of action for quite some time.
He will not play from weeks 7 to 13 before returning against Pittsburgh. By the end of the year, he had totaled 427 yards in seven games.
