The Facts: After sitting out the Ravens' mandatory minicamp this week,Dobbins expressed his frustration over his contract situation. Dobbins, who is in the final year of his rookie deal, was at the team facility during minicamp but wasn't on the field for any of the three practices. He declined to comment on whether he was injured. "The business side is very hard. It's very different," Dobbins told WJZ-TV on Thursday. "You saw with Lamar [Jackson] ... It's never just roses and daisies. It can be hard at times and it's business though."

Diehards Line: Dobbins, 24, is scheduled to make $1.391 million this season, which is 24th among all running backs. Known for his explosiveness, he ranks second among all running backs with a 5.9-yard rushing average since 2020. But Dobbins, a second-round pick in the 2020 draft, has missed more games (27) than he's played (23) in his career. He was sidelined for all of the 2021 season after suffering a significant left knee injury in the preseason and then missed six straight games last season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on the same knee. Dobbins declined to confirm a recent report that he's dealing with a soft-tissue injury. He told WJZ-TV that he's been studying the playbook and will be ready for the start of training camp in late July. ... For what it's worth, this is not the first time that Dobbins has voiced his frustrations. Last season, Dobbins expressed dissatisfaction over being hurt in the 2021 preseason as well as his workload. In October, he pointed out how he had never had more than 15 carries in a game. So this is clearly a situation worth watching.
