Report: Ravens' Dobbins expected to have knee surgery, miss 4-6 weeks

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery and miss four-to-six weeks, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Dobbins was held out of the second half of the Ravens' 24-20 loss to the New York Giants last week after issues with his knee. He was playing his fourth game since suffering a torn ACL during the 2021 preseason finale.

"His knee tightened up. It just didn't respond, probably to the turf maybe, I don't know," head coach John Harbaugh said, according to team reporter Ryan Mink. "But it tightened up, and he couldn't go."

Dobbins ran for 805 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging six yards per carry as a rookie in 2020 before missing all of last season.

The 23-year-old had rushed for 123 yards and one touchdown this season but didn't appear back to his old form, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry.

Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake will lead Baltimore's backfield in Dobbins' absence.

Meanwhile, star tight end Mark Andrews and wide receiver Rashod Bateman are questionable for Week 7 due to knee and foot injuries, respectively.

Andrews returned to practice Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week. Bateman has been out since getting hurt on Oct. 2.
