Ravens' Dobbins 'damn sure' he'll be ready for Week 1

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is confident he'll be ready for the start of the regular season after tearing his ACL last August.

Dobbins pushed back on a report Monday from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, who said the running back isn't expected to play in Week 1 and possibly several more games.

Okay I'm tired of being quiet... come to me for your source @RapSheet because I might not even go on PUP because that's how good my rehab is going and I'm damn sure going to be ready for week 1. https://t.co/gH2TqCFLM4

Dobbins was widely projected to be a breakout candidate last season after racking up 805 yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie in 2020. But the 23-year-old went down with a season-ending knee injury in the club's preseason finale.

It was the beginning of a rash of injuries that derailed Baltimore's season. Most notably, cornerback Marcus Peters and running back Gus Edwards suffered torn ACLs on back-to-back plays in a September practice, while left tackle Ronnie Stanley missed most of the campaign with an ankle injury.

Dobbins continued to hype up his return on Twitter.

Just know I been working... I been quiet for a reason. I thrive best when I face adversity....go check my resume.
