J.K. Dobbins will have to wait to start his 2022-23 campaign.
The former Ohio State running back said he wants to play, but the Baltimore Ravens are holding him back as a precautionary measure.
Dobbins is suffering from a lingering knee injury.

Though it may not seem like it to Dobbins, this is a smart move by the Ravens. The running back position is obviously a rough one on the human body, and its better to have Dobbins for the long term rather than risk reaggravation in Week 1.
The Ravens face the Jets at 1 pm EST.
