Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that he talked to RB J.K. Dobbins, who is currently on the PUP list and has missed a week of practice, on Tuesday night and does not know when he will return to the field. (Sarah Ellison on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Dobbins has a history of injury, including a pre-season injury that cost him his entire sophomore season and part of his third year in the NFL. Dobbins is also looking for a new contract, as he is entering the last year of his rookie deal. Harbaugh says both he and Dobbins are on the same page about wanting to return to the field, but an exact date is unclear for both parties. It appears as though Dobbins may be conducting a hold-in to earn that next deal, which brings immediate concern for fantasy managers that it could last into the regular season. If he misses time, RB Gus Edwards — who is quietly one of the most steadily contributing RBs in the NFL — would see an increased role as the team's RB1.
