The Baltimore Ravens have placed running back Gus Edwards on the reserve/physically unable to perform list as he continues to recover from a knee injury sustained prior to the 2021 season, the team announced Tuesday.
Edwards will miss at least the first four games of the 2022 regular season.
The earliest Edwards could come back is for the team's Week 5 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 9.
"Gus is doing really well. He's kind of a patient rehab guy," head coach John Harbaugh told Sirius XM earlier this month. "I don't know that he'll be the first week, but before the season's over I think he's going to be roaring and ready to go."
Edwards has provided solid production on the ground for the Ravens, averaging 5.2 yards per carry over his career. He rushed for 718 yards as a rookie, 711 yards in 2019 and 723 yards in 2020. The Ravens signed Edwards to a two-year contract extension last June.
While Edwards is sidelined, the Ravens hope to have J.K. Dobbins playing when the regular season starts. Harbaugh said it's too soon to know yet whether Dobbins will be ready for Week 1.
