Normally, the word of NFL insider Ian Rapoport is considered an unwritten law. However, on one of his recent messages, Ravens running back JK Dobbins vehemently disagreed. And Rapoport immediately responded.

Munich/Los Angeles – What Fabrizio Romano is in the football world, Ian Rapoport is in the NFL world. Only he’s been around a lot longer and is usually more reliable. It hardly ever happens that he is wrong.

However, after Rapoport published news that JK Dobbins, running back of the Baltimore Ravens, might miss the start of the season, the man himself spoke out – and found clear words.

Dobbins attacks Rapoport: “Come to me for a source “

Quoting Rapoport’s tweet, Dobbins wrote: “I’m tired of being quiet. Come see me for a source soon.”

The 23-year-old followed up with, “I might not even go on the PUP list, that’s how well I’m doing. And be damn sure I’m on the field in week one. “

The Physically-unable-to-perform list, or PUP, is for players who can only participate in parts of team workouts at most to start training camp. Dobbins suffered multiple injuries to his knee prior to the 2021 season and subsequently missed all of the season.

Okay I’m tired of being quiet… come to me for your source @RapSheet because I might not even go on PUP because that’s how good my rehab is going and I’m damn sure going to be ready for week 1. https://t.co/gH2TqCFLM4

Rapoport reacts: “Very much hope he is right “

Rapoport’s response was not long in coming. Asked about Dobbins’ tweet on the “Pat McAfee Show,” the NFL pundit remained relaxed. “I really hope for JK Dobbins’ sake that he’s right and he’s ready to go in week one. That would be great for him,” Rapoport said.

“However,” he countered shortly after, “I’m sticking with the source that I trust very much that told me that, and I feel very good about that. But if he is ready in week one after all, that would be the best thing for everyone. I just hope the Ravens take it easy on him, because this was a very serious injury. “

The family man doesn’t want to get confrontational. “I’m not going to go into the corner and cry now,” Rapoport added: “If I can trumpet what I think is right to the world, then so can he, that’s perfectly okay. That’s great, I would even say.”

There was initially no response from Dobbins himself. Recently, his quarterback Lamar Jackson had a Twitter beef with the former Ravens pro Bernard Pollard.
