The Baltimore Ravens will be without J.K. Dobbins for the remainder of the season. Dobbins tore his Achilles during the third quarter of Baltimore’s Week 1 home win over the Houston Texans, and he was placed on the injured reserve list on Tuesday.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that the team currently does not plan on making a move outside of the organization for a running back. Still, Baltimore is the odds favorite to bring in an all-around running back.

As noted by BetOnline, the Ravens are listed as a 3/1 favorite to acquire Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. The Arizona Cardinals (4/1) have the second-best odds to trade for the one-time Pro Bowler.

Taylor’s future in Indianapolis has been up in the air for months. He requested a trade from the Colts in July following a standstill in contract extension talks. The Colts granted him permission to seek a trade partner, but he is still with the organization.

Barring a major change of plans from the Ravens, they will call on Gus Edwards and Justice Hill to lead the way on the ground for the rest of the season. They combined for 54 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in Week 1.

Edwards and Hill sure will be called on quite a bit both in the air and on the ground in Baltimore’s upcoming Week 2 road matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
