Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins on return to training camp: 'It’s all good now, I’m out here'

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins didn't go into much detail about his prolonged offseason absence on Wednesday, but he did say he was happy to be healthy and was ready to go for the coming season.

"I feel amazing," Dobbins said, speaking to reporters for the first time since he was activated from the PUP list last week. "I feel pretty dang good. I'm just gonna leave it at that because I feel so good."

Dobbins missed all of the team's summer workouts and was absent for the start of training camp. He was placed on PUP list due to a chronic knee injury, but Dobbins also hinted at contract matters that held him up from reporting on time. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said at the beginning of camp that there was “some complexity” to Dobbins' absence.

Asked about his early absence from camp, Dobbins didn't reveal much of what might have happened behind the scenes.

"Uh, that's a tough question," Dobbins said. "I was just, you know, being cautious. My teammates need me, so I want to be there for my teammates. That's all it was. You know, my teammates understood what was going on. It's all good now, I'm out here."

Dobbins also clarified one thing: Just because he wasn't practicing didn't mean he wasn't participating in the Ravens' camp activities.

"I was here the whole time," he said. "I was going to meetings."

But Dobbins kept the financial details vague. He praised Harbaugh, the Ravens' front office and ownership and indicated he wants to remain a Raven.

"Mr. Eric (DeCosta), he's the best GM -- the best GM in the game," Dobbins said. "He'll get it worked out. Whatever happens, happens. He's gonna get it worked out. We have good conversations.

"And I have much respect for Mr. Eric, and Mr. Harbaugh, coach Harbaugh, everyone,
