The energy was palpable at M&T Bank Stadium. As the Ravens soared to a thumping 25-9 victory over the Houston Texans, a shadow hovered in the locker room, concealing a poignant tale of a player’s potential setback.

The Baltimore Ravens, a force in the NFL’s AFC North division, headquartered in the heart of Owings Mills, Maryland, are no strangers to triumphant tales since their establishment in 1996. But every story has its twists. This wasn’t just any win. It was an epic faceoff, veiling an untold narrative waiting to unfold. So, while the scoreboard blinked in favor of the Ravens, what happened off-field?

The high price of victory: Dobbins’ injury dampens spirits

Recent releases from the Baltimore Ravens camp hit like a bolt from the blue. J.K. Dobbins, the stalwart running back and a crucial asset for both OBJ and Lamar Jackson, suffered an Achilles injury. The consequence? A premature end to his season. “I feel bad for him; this is not the way we expected this to go,” echoed Head Coach John Harbaugh, empathizing with the setback of the young star who’d previously missed 27 games in three seasons due to injuries.
