Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh is still in a wait-and-see mode on whether starting running back J.K. Dobbins will be ready for the regular-season opener.

"He's made some good progress this week," Harbaugh said after Wednesday's practice. "We measure times of how fast he runs, how fast he decelerates, how fast he changes direction. You can see the improvement is tangible. So, we'll see."

Dobbins, who tore his left ACL last August, has been participating in individual drills for five days since being activated off the physically unable to perform list. The Ravens remain non-committal on if Dobbins will be recovered enough to play Sept. 11 at the New York Jets, the story went on to say. The story added Dobbins is ahead of schedule compared to Edwards who is still on the PUP list. Badie, Davis and Hill would be up next assuming neither Dobbins nor Edwards would be ready for Week 1.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh addressed reporters Thursday, and among the topics were the rehabs of RBs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. Harbaugh told reporters it is too soon to tell if they will be ready for training camp, and therefore the season.

The Ravens have run with a loaded backfield for a while and the statuses of Dobbins and Edwards are leans to why Mike Davis was added to the RB room. Rookie Tyler Badie is also going to be in the mix early on as a Ravens draftee. Justice Hill will be a member of the Ravens forever at this point.

RB Mike Davis is signing with the Baltimore Ravens. He was released by the Falcons last week.

The Ravens are once again doing their best to be a backfield you avoid. Sure, a few of these backs will be cut or not utilized but the idea of carrying a fistful of RBs on the roster that have NFL experience and success is frustrating.

Having lost RBs J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hill to season-ending injuries, the Ravens are signing veteran RB Le’Veon Bell to their practice squad, per source.

Schefter believes Bell will be added to the roster soon, which means he'll look for work behind Edwards. Bell didn't show a lot last season, but he'll likely get some touches along with Williams in the Ravens run-heavy offense. It seems like Williams will still be the team's RB2 after an impressive showing in camp.

The Ravens will need to make a move to add another back. Hill was slated to be behind Edwards and Williams in the pecking order. The Ravens have been recently liked to Le'Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman and Elijah Holyfield working out on Monday according to other reports. Anyone they sign will jump right into the RB3 role but it possibly makes Williams value behind Edwards a little safer.

Ravens OC Greg Roman acknowledges what was obvious after J.K. Dobbins’ injury: Gus Edwards will get a much bigger workload. “He’s our kind of guy. He’s built for what we do.”

While it's not shocking news, it's still nice to hear for Edwards owners. The one knock on Edwards is his pass-catching, but as we've pointed out it's not that he can't catch the ball, he just hasn't been asked to. He's caught 18-of-22 career targets for almost 11 yards per catch. Getting Edwards more involved in the pass catching game will certainly elevate his fantasy value. Without proven backups in Williams and Hill, it's certainly possible Edwards sees some targets.

Ravens RBs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins have tested positive for COVID-19 and will be placed on the reserve list later today, according to sources. All aboard the Gus Bus for Thursday vs. the Steelers.

Just when Dobbins seemed like he took over the team's RB1 role... As the tweet said, Edwards looks like he'll take over the RB1 role on what is a short week, in a tough matchup. The Ravens and Steelers play on Thanksgiving night so be sure to continue to monitor the situation. As of now, the game remains on schedule to be played Thursday night despite the outbreak for the Ravens, according to multiple sources. Hill could also get more work, especially as a change of pace and on passing downs.

Based on Sunday's RB snap counts for Ravens, J.K. Dobbins has assumed the lead back role and Mark Ingram could be getting close to being inactive on game days:

J.K. Dobbins 41 snaps (63%)
Gus Edwards 13 (20%)
Justice Hill 7 (11%)
Mark Ingram 6 (9%)

It's really not a surprise considering how Dobbins filled in when Ingram went down. Many who follow the team felt Dobbins would keep the RB1 job, and it looks like he has a solid grasp right now, especially since Edwards had just 13 snaps. Keep in mind it could have been a specific game plan and Edwards could see more of a workload in future games, but right now it seems Dobbins is the guy to own in this backfield.

Dobbins and Edwards pretty much split touches with Dobbins getting a 12-30-0 rush line and Edwards an 11-23-1 line. Both backs each caught two passes. The Ravens are at New England in Week 10 on Sunday night and Dobbins and Edwards owners will again be tracking the status of Ingram.
