Reviewing the Offseason Injury Rehab List
The Ravens had more significant injuries in 2021 than any season in their history. Here's a recap of the key losses and an outlook on players who are recovering.

CB Marlon Humphrey
All-Pro "Marlo" went down for the season against the Steelers on Dec. 6 with a torn pectoral muscle. Since 2017, Humphrey and Logan Ryan of the Giants are the only two defensive backs with at least 50 pass breakups and 10 forced fumbles. Humphrey is one of the game's most impactful corners, able to play both outside and inside while defending the run with physicality. There's no reason to think Humphrey's injury will prevent him from starting next season in top form.

LT Ronnie Stanley
Stanley's one-game comeback from ankle surgery ended after Week 1 and he underwent more surgery on Oct. 19. His timetable for return remains unknown, but his quest to recapture his place as the NFL's best left tackle is vital to Baltimore's offense moving forward. There's no replacement for his talent protecting Lamar Jackson's blindside while also being an superb run blocker. If Stanley returns 100 percent, that's a major question answered for an offensive line that was in flux in 2021.

CB Marcus Peters
Peters suffered his season-ending ACL injury during a Sept. 9 non-contact, non-padded practice. Losing the NFL's top interceptor since 2016 was devastating to a defense that needed more takeaways in 2021. Peters' football IQ and competitiveness bring elements to Baltimore's secondary that are unique. Having Peters and Humphrey back together in 2022 will feel like Christmas for the new defensive coordinator. It was Peters' first major injury.

RB J.K. Dobbins
A season-ending torn ACL suffered by Dobbins in the Aug. 29 preseason finale took away Baltimore's most explosive running back. He has been down this road before, returning faster and stronger after a severe ankle injury in high school. Don't bet against him doing that again. His offseason workout buddy, Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, suffered a torn ACL in 2017 and has rushed for at least 1,100 yards the past three seasons. Dobbins can use that for inspiration.

OLB Tyus Bowser
Bowser reportedly tore his Achilles during the season finale Jan. 9 against the Steelers and posted pictures Jan. 13 on Instagram following surgery. Recovery time varies for this injury, but Bowser's obvious goal would be to return by Week 1. Much more will be learned about his progress by the time training camp begins.

RB Gus Edwards
In a cruel twist, Edwards suffered a torn ACL during the same practice that Peters went down, robbing him of an opportunity to finally become the lead back. He is Baltimore's most physical ball carrier who has never averaged fewer than 5.0 yards per carry. Like Dobbins, Edwards has a chance to be ready for Week 1 and hopes to recapture his place as part of Baltimore's dynamic one-two running back punch.

QB Lamar Jackson
An ankle injury Jackson described as a bone bruise ended his season on Dec. 12. The Ravens lost their last four games without the 2019 NFL MVP and missed the playoffs for the first time in his career. Getting healthy will be Jackson's first offseason priority, then he must continue polishing all aspects of his game. A group of young AFC quarterbacks that includes Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert is setting a high bar that won't make reaching a Super Bowl easy.

DE Derek Wolfe
Wolfe (back/hip) missed the entire season then underwent recent hip surgery, posting a picture of his elevated leg on Twitter. Wolfe led Baltimore's defensive linemen in tackles (51) in 2020 and with Brandon Williams and Calais Campbell both pending free agents and Campbell contemplating retirement, the return of a healthy Wolfe would be a welcome boost to the defensive line rotation.

FB Patrick Ricard
The three-time Pro Bowl fullback is a pending free agent, and he ended the season on injured reserve after missing four of the last five games with a knee injury. Ricard had offseason hip surgery before the 2021 season and said he played the 2020 season with a torn labrum. Richard is a devastating blocker, and whoever he plays for next season will have one of the league's toughest players. Whether or not he returns to Baltimore, Ricard will be hoping for a healthier 2022.

TE Nick Boyle
Baltimore's best blocking tight end started the season on injured reserve after a major knee injury in 2020 season that required another cleanup procedure during training camp. Boyle returned in Week 10 but never looked 100 percent and was limited to five games. This offseason will be dedicated to getting healthier and Boyle believes he will return "better than ever."

S DeShon Elliott
A pending free agent, Elliott was lost for the season on Nov. 7 with a torn biceps/pectoral. Competing until the last moment, Elliott made a one-armed tackle after suffering his injury before leaving the game. Elliott has suffered three major injuries during his career, losing his first two NFL seasons due to a broken forearm and torn ACL. He has been a starter for two years and is Baltimore's biggest hitter in the secondary, but it remains to be seen if he'll be moving on.

G Ben Powers
He spent much of the season as the starting left guard but missed the final four games with a foot injury. Powers is a physical lineman who made strides in pass protection last season. After a third year that was a step forward, ending the season injured shouldn't keep Powers from competing for the starting left guard spot next year.

RB Justice Hill
It's still hard to fathom the Ravens lost their top three running backs before the season began, but Hill tore his Achilles on Sept. 2 and never played a regular-season snap. Hill has been a contributor on special teams, but has been unable to crack the rotation at running back on a consistent basis in three years. The fourth-round pick in 2019 faces an important year in 2022, hoping to show he is fully recovered and worthy of a role.

ILB L.J. Fort
The veteran inside linebacker tore his ACL in the second preseason game and missed the 2021 season, but is expected to return healthy in 2022. A pending free agent, Fort was a starter at WILL linebacker in 2020, but Patrick Queen played well in that spot in 2021, which could impact whether Fort returns to Baltimore. His presence as a veteran leader in the linebacker room who also plays special teams could work in his favor.

G/T Tyre Phillips
After opening the season as the starting left guard, Phillips missed four games early in the season with a knee injury, then ended the season on IR after another knee injury Dec. 19. Phillips is expected to compete for a starting job at left guard in 2022 and his ability to play both guard and tackle makes him valuable as a backup. Staying healthy and playing consistently will be crucial to his development.

OLB Daelin Hayes
Injuries prevented the fifth-round draft pick from having an impact in 2021, as Hayes appeared in just one game and played four snaps. He spent most of the year on injured reserve with an ankle injury and he also underwent a knee procedure. Putting those injuries behind him and staying on the field will be critical for Hayes in 2022.

OT Ja'Wuan James
Signed as a free agent after tearing his Achilles in May, James never joined the 53-man roster in 2021, although he returned to practice in December. He is a former first-round pick who spent five seasons as a starting right tackle with the Miami Dolphins. However, James opted out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and hasn't seen game action since 2019. This offseason will give James time to get healthier and prove if he can be a starting tackle again.

DB Ar'Darius Washington
The undrafted rookie from TCU suffered a broken foot during practice in late November that ended his season. Washington played in five games, with 22 of his 29 snaps coming on special teams. However, Washington had a strong showing in training camp playing safety and nickel corner and was the only undrafted rookie to make the 53-man roster. He has a chance to compete for a larger role if he returns healthy.

CB Khalil Dorsey
The exclusive rights free agent spent the entire 2021 season on injured reserve after suffering a preseason shoulder injury. The Ravens are always looking for depth at corner, but whether Dorsey can earn a roster spot in 2022 remains to be seen.

CB Iman Marshall
The fourth-round pick in 2019 has only appeared in three games in three seasons, and spent the entire 2021 season on injured reserve. Marshall tore his ACL in 2020 and will have to move past his injury setbacks to get his career back on track.
