OWINGS MILLS, Md. - John Harbaugh said Monday that it's a legitimate question to ask why running back J.K. Dobbins played in the preseason finale, but he emphasized the Baltimore Ravens rank among the teams who play its starters the least.
Dobbins suffered a season-ending injury in the opening drive of Saturday's 37-3 rout of Washington. He tore the ACL in his left knee on the ninth play of the game.
Asked what he would say to fans who wondered why Dobbins was in the game, Harbaugh said, "It's a fair conversation."
Harbaugh then noted that Dobbins had only played 23 plays (a total of 10 touches) in three preseason games.
