Dobbins got his leg bent backwards on an awkward tackle following a screen. He had to be carried into the medical tent after being assisted off the field. He was then carted to the locker room. Dobbins could put no weight on his left leg. We are not doctors, but it certainly didn't look good. Looks are frequently deceiving, so it is is too early to panic, though a battery of tests are obviously going to be required. Were Dobbins to miss extended time — or perhaps the season — Gus Edwards would vault into the top 18 despite his lack of a pass-catching role. Justice Hill would then slide in as the Ravens' primary pass-catching/change-of-pace back. Stay tuned.
Preseason as worthless as a Vaccine to a Redneck.
(non covid) Injuries are out of control in the major sports, I do not know WTF is going on, but it is massive, IMO much worse than ever. Football, baseball, hoops, & hockey, teams are all but eliminated early in a season.
KC OL was missing 3-4 starters and starr QB Mahomes was hobbled, I made a large move on TB, but it is not always easy "betting the injury situation", either.
But the entertainment value is what makes me upset, so many key pitchers are out, now, in MLB, eg. some teams have 5-6 pitchers on the IL at one time.

I read a few years ago about a sports Dr blaming supplements (creatine, protein powders, etc) as the cause of so many modern injuries.
Dr was claiming too many guys are building their bodies unnaturally and the muscles they are building are not capable of injury free function because their ligaments, joints as well as other areas are not increasing with muscle size and strength. ie placing a car engine in a golf cart. Tires, frame, brakes and everything else isn't naturally suitable for it.
Preseason is valuable for new players and chemistry. I happen to believe practice matters
You don't know how good or bad some person or some scheme or some combination is until it's tested against real competition
that might exclude returning veterans who have played together BTW
