Dobbins and Edwards finally healthy together for Ravens

Wiki Article

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) The Baltimore Ravens were down to their No. 3 option at quarterback but for the first time in almost two years, they also had both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards available.Good timing.Dobbins ran for 120 yards and Edwards rushed for 66 as the Ravens on Sunday to remain tied with Cincinnati atop the AFC North. Baltimore held on despite losing quarterback Tyler Huntley in the second half. Huntley was starting because Lamar Jackson injured his knee the previous weekend.On Monday, coach John Harbaugh said Huntley was in concu sion protocol.I really dont have any updates that I would be allowed to share on that, Harbaugh said. So, theres really no pronouncements on that, or Lamar, in terms of whos going to be ready and not ready at this point in time.The Ravens led 13-7 when Anthony Brown replaced Huntley in the third quarter. Baltimore was able to lean on the running game. Dobbins and Edwards combined for 42 of the team's 57 yards on a J.R. Richard Jersey fourth-quarter drive that ended in a field goal.After a touchdown by Pittsburgh made the score 16-14, three runs by Edwards were enough to move the chains and seal the victory.Dobbins and Edwards both mi sed all of last season with knee injuries, and neither has been that healthy in 2022, either. Dobbins played from Weeks 3-6 before going on injured reserve and returning Sunday. Edwards mi sed the first six weeks and has played in five of the team's seven games since.Those guys are guys that we kind of built the team around, right? Harbaugh said. So, to see those guys coming back and po sibly becoming what we envisioned originally after the really tough, gruesome injuries is really encouraging. And I dont think either one of them would tell you that theyre fully there yet. So, lets just keep heading in this direction.WHAT'S WORKINGBaltimore's kicking game is obviously excellent with Justin Tucker, but the Ravens also have a significant weapon when the other team lines up for a field goal. Calais Campbell, their 6-foot-8 defensive lineman, blocked a fourth-quarter attempt by Pittsburgh.It was the ninth blocked field goal of Campbell's career, easily the most of any active player.He has a knack for penetrating the line, Harbaugh said. He can slip around one of those blocks and get his feet in the ground and get up and use all 6-foot-8-plus when he does it.It's the second time this season a blocked kick has helped Baltimore Anthony Gose Jersey win a close game. Malik Harrison blocked a 60-yard attempt by Cleveland toward the end of the Ravens' 23-20 win in October.WHAT NEEDS HELPObviously, the pa sing game will be a big concern because of the injuries at quarterback. Huntley is at least an experienced backup whose skill set mirrors Jackson's to a degree, but Brown is a rookie out of Oregon who made his NFL debut against the Steelers.Not only that, when he came in the game, the Ravens were backed up at their own 1-yard line. Brown completed a 3-yard pa s to Demarcus Robinson on his first play.They were packed in there. We could have run it. We could have snuck it. But it wasnt going to go very far, Harbaugh said. Then, we would have been second-and-9 or (second-and)-10.Baltimore picked up one first down on that drive before punting.STOCK UPThe offensive line deserves a lot of credit for Baltimore's 215 yards rushing, especially given how limited the pa sing threat was at the end.The offensive line was blocking so good, and I can only go as far as they go, Dobbins said. They did a good job for me.STOCK DOWNNormally dependable cornerback Marlon Humphrey allowed a season-high 115 yards Francisco Liriano Jersey in pa s coverage, according to Pro Football Focus.INJURIESDobbins and Edwards aren't the only Ravens healthier these days. Safety Marcus Williams returned from a seven-game absence and intercepted his fourth pa s of the season.KEY NUMBER12 The number of consecutive games the Ravens have outrushed their opponent. That's the most in franchise history.NEXT STEPSThe Ravens play the first of two straight Saturday games when they visit Cleveland this weekend.___Follow Noah Trister at noahtrister___AP NFL: hub/nfl and AP_NFL in this topic
