Dobbins, who is confirmed to be done for the season.
You can't help but ache for Dobbins, who worked so hard to get back to this point after his major 2021 preseason knee injury. He's never had the chance to fully show what he's capable of in this league.
When Dobbins soared into the end zone in the first quarter and gave the "feed me" sign, it seemed like it might finally be his time to feast. With Dobbins entering a contract year, it's clear why players want to get their long-term deals done sooner than later. You never know. This game, and business, can be brutal.
Ravens will now split their running back carries between Gus Edwards and Justice Hill, who scored two touchdowns on Sunday. Baltimore could also promote former Pro Bowl running back Melvin Gordon to the active roster.
But none has the explosiveness of Dobbins, who delivered the Ravens' first score of the season with a leaping, 4-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
Justice Hill scored on a 2-yard run the very next play, extending the Ravens' lead, 13-6, early in the third quarter.
Baltimore later announced Dobbins was out for the game with an ankle injury.
Dobbins, who scored the game's first touchdown on a 4-yard run in the first quarter, totaled eight carries for 22 yards and two catches for 15 yards.
Dobbins, 24, had expressed frustration over his contract this offseason. He was entering the final year of his rookie deal making $1.391 million, which is slightly more than Edwards and Hill, both of whom will earn $1 million.
Dobbins, a second-round pick in 2020, has averaged 5.9 yards per carry in 23 career games with 12 total touchdowns.
The Ravens' defense also has a potential long-term injury to deal with following the 2023 season opener.
Rapoport reports Ravens defensive back Marcus Williams is feared to have suffered a torn pec in Sunday's win, per a source. Williams is set to have an MRI to confirm the severity of his injury.
Williams was ruled out of the game in the second half after suffering the injury.
