He was 23-years-old, and about to begin his second NFL season, presumably as the Ravens’ top back — a key piece in the team’s unique run-first attack. Now, nearly 16 months later, J.K. Dobbins is still working to get his knee back in shape, even as he figures to be an important part of the Ravens’ Lamar-Jacksonless attack in Cincinnati tonight, where Baltimore will take on the Bengals in an AFC wild-card game (8:15 p.m. ET, NBC.)

Ravens safety Geno Stone opens up about his friend Damar Hamlin

Ravens safety Geno Stone and the Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin not only have similar backgrounds and jobs in the NFL, but they’re friends.

A sputtering passing game leaves the Ravens with no room for their (many) mistakes

On a cold and snow-flurry-filled Saturday night in Cleveland, errors doomed the Ravens in myriad ways all game long, and despite a strong performance on the ground again, the mistakes proved too much to overcome in a costly 13-3 loss to the Browns that muddies what had been a straightforward path to the playoffs for the Ravens (9-5).

Ravens likely to get Tyler Huntley back vs. Browns

Usual starter Lamar Jackson, nursing a reported sprained PCL in his left knee, hasn’t practiced at all for the second straight week and it’s doubtful he will suit up. Ravens coach John Harbaugh declined to name a starter when he met with the media on Thursday at the team’s practice facility, but Tyler Huntley spoke to reporters right after him and said he felt good.

Why Ravens players believe Huntley is the perfect back-up QB

To the outside world, going from Lamar Jackson, a league MVP, to Tyler Huntley, who went undrafted, might seem like a significant change. The Ravens, though, say there’s little difference — and they will be challenged to prove it over the coming weeks.

Tyler Huntley calmly guides Ravens past Denver, but how long will Lamar miss?

Tyler Huntley led the Ravens offense on a memorable 16-play, 91-yard, four-and-a-half minute fourth-quarter drive and he ran in the go-ahead touchdown from two yards with 28 seconds left to give the Ravens a 10-9 win over the Broncos on, yes, a chilly afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium.

Ravens won't be fooled by Jaguars' record

Lamar Jackson, it turns out, is dealing with a hip injury — a potentially troubling sign for the AFC North-leading Ravens (7-3) as they enter the final third of a regular season that’s already been marred by multiple injuries at key positions across the roster.

Ravens find a way, but concerns about the offense grow

Finally, with a little more than seven minutes left in the game, Lamar Jackson lowered his left shoulder, leaned into a Carolina Panthers defender and bulled across the goal line, the first player from either team to do so all afternoon.
