Report: Ravens will get J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram back for Steelers game originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
When Ravens running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list last Monday, the hope was that they’d return for Thursday’s game against the Cowboys the following week.
Now, after some juggling like the NFL has never done before, it’s possible both will be able to play on Wednesday afternoon against the Steelers.
Both will have been in the protocol for 10 days and, if they are both healthy and able to play, will be activated in time for the 3:40 kickoff in the afternoon.
While the Ravens won’t have their full offensive line or two of their best receiving threats, it’s a notable addition nonetheless. Ingram and Dobbins account for 612 of the team’s 1,605 rushing yards this season and five of the team’s 11 rushing touchdowns.
Dobbins had his most impactful game as a professional last Sunday against the Titans and seemed to hit his stride. He’s also the most targeted player out of the Ravens backfield with 89 touches in total. He’s the team’s fourth-leading receiver.
The Ravens still, however, will not have quarterback Lamar Jackson against the Steelers. Robert Griffin III is the presumed starter.
It’s not much, but the more players the Ravens can get off the Reserve/COVID-19 list, the better off they’ll be against the NFL’s last unbeaten team.
