When J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill all suffered season-ending injuries before the start of the regular season, it seemed to be a doom and gloom scenario for the backfield of the Baltimore Ravens. Instead, Baltimore regrouped, signed Latavius Murray, Devonta Freeman and Le'Veon Bell to go along with Ty'Son Williams and it has worked just fine.
Now, per ESPN, the Ravens are reportedly receiving calls from teams interested in trading for their backs.

The Ravens may not end up trading any of their running backs, but the inquires — some of which came as recently as last week — affirm that Baltimore successfully made up for the season-ending injuries to J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill all in a span of 10 days starting in late August.
Lamar Jackson has led the way for the Ravens' ground game, which likely would be the case regardless of who the running back is.
It'll be interesting to see which of the three backs they signed that the Ravens view as the most expendable or if they will hang onto all three for the long run of the season.
Baltimore is off to a 3-1 start and the Ravens will host the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night.
