As the Baltimore Ravens prepare for the upcoming NFL season, one notable player has been missing from the practice field as star running back J.K. Dobbins has not taken part in practice despite reporting to training camp. And head coach John Harbaugh admits that at some point, this could be a concerning situation.

It’s certainly a concerning situation for the Ravens that they’ll likely want to monitor going forward.
