Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins disputes insider's report on torn ACL recovery

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday afternoon that Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins was "no sure thing" for Week 1 of the 2022 regular season as he recovers from last summer's torn ACL. Shortly thereafter, Dobbins took to social media to blast Rapoport on his news update.

Okay I’m tired of being quiet… come to me for your source @RapSheet because I might not even go on PUP because that’s how good my rehab is going and I’m damn sure going to be ready for week 1. https://t.co/gH2TqCFLM4

Dobbins continued with a string of tweets explaining the situation, and then during his afternoon appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Rapoport gave his side to the story.

The 23-year-old Ohio St. product racked up 805 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 134 carries as a rookie in 2020 before missing all of last season.

The Ravens signed Mike Davis to a deal on May 10 as insurance behind the rehabbing Dobbins.
