Dobbins Itching to Return to Field

Former La Grange High School star J.K. Dobbins is itching to get back on the football field with the Baltimore Ravens, after suffering a season-ending knee injury in the final preseason game last year.

Here’s a report about Dobbins from Ryan Mink ofBaltimoreravens. com: J.K. Dobbins is chomping at the bit to get back on the practice field, and he's letting everybody know it.

Near the end of practice, Dobbins walked onto the field dressed in his jersey looking like he was ready to go. Problem is, he's one of six Ravens on the physically unable to perform list. Dobbins stalked the sideline, pleading to anyone that would listen. Dobbins was counseled by veteran outside linebacker Justin Houston, then Dobbins took his case to General Manager Eric DeCosta.

'Yeah, J.K. definitely wants to go,' Head Coach John Harbaugh said. 'He's made it very clear, and he's not just clear in the fact that he tells everybody all the time. I told him again today, 'I know how you feel about that. You've told me.' 'But that's up to the doctors and him, and they'll work it out. As soon as he's back out there, we'll be coaching him really hard. He's doing an individual period with the trainers right now. So, I'm excited to get him back, hopefully, soon.'
