The Baltimore Ravens may have picked up a victory over the Houston Texans but they lost running back J.K. Dobbins for the remainder of the season.

Dobbins suffered the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 25-9 victory against the Texans, when he was tackled near the goal line. He had to be helped by trainers to the locker room and on the very next play, backup running back Justice Hill scored a touchdown.

Head coach John Harbuagh confirmed that Dobbins' 2023 season is over with a torn Achilles.

Harbaugh spoke with ESPN's Jamison Hensley and said that he's 'crestfallen' for Dobbs following the injury.

"I'm crestfallen for him. We'll put our arms around him and he will be back."

Dobbins recorded 22 yards on eight carries and a rushing touchdown.
