The Baltimore Ravens’ run game has been a work in progress over the first five weeks of the 2022 season. Quarterback Lamar Jackson has accounted for the vast majority of the team’s offensive yards, and they’ll need others to step up on the ground if they want to achieve their goals.
One of the players that Baltimore hopes to get back soon is running back Gus Edwards, who tore his ACL prior to the start of the 2021 season. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was asked about the status of Edwards on Friday, and gave a positive update on the runner.

“He’s doing well. He looks good, it’s just a matter of when is he really ready to play at a high level. I do believe he’s getting close.”
Baltimore has already seen running back J.K. Dobbins return from his torn ACL injury, with him increasing his workload every week. Edwards seems to be on the same trajectory as Dobbins from a timeline perspective, and his return will be a welcomed one for the Ravens. The duo of Dobbins and Edwards was a deadly force during the 2020 season, and could resume their dominance when both are fully ramped up and ready to go.
