Ravens Enter Preseason With Lowest Team Health Score
2 min read • August 09, 2022
Although running back J.K. Dobbins is off the PUP list and back at practice for the Ravens, he and the team still have a ways to go before getting close to 100%.
Dobbins practiced Monday for the first time since tearing his ACL and damaging the LCL in his left knee last August. He was limited to individual drills and still looked to be heavily favoring his left leg.
While Dobbins' return to the practice field is an important milestone, he remains a longshot to be effective Week 1, according to the Pro Football Docs.
The multi-ligament knee injury complicates his recovery and he requires extra time before having full ability to cut and decelerate using the left knee.
Fellow running back Gus Edwards is also recovering from an ACL tear and is reportedly doubtful for Week 1.
Tyler Linderbaum Injury Update
Despite John Harbaugh's insistence that his left foot injury is to a different ligament, the first-round center suffered a sprain to the previously injured Lisfranc ligament during training camp.
Baltimore is reportedly optimistic the center will only miss a week or two, but the Pro Football Docs believe he will miss time early in the season.
The former Iowa center played through a Lisfranc injury in college, but has not suffered a full rupture. His exact return timeline depends on the severity of the sprain.
Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley remains on the PUP list and has a SIC score of 66 for the season, according to the Pro Football Docs.
Baltimore Ravens - Team SIC Score 79.7
The Ravens currently have the lowest SIC score of any team in the league because of numerous ongoing recoveries.

Baltimore opens its preseason action against the Titans on Thursday night. The team's Week 1 opponent is the Jets, who just lost right tackle Mekhi Becton for the season.
