Dixon rushed five times for two yards and brought in all three of his targets for 18 yards in the Ravens' 27-10 preseason win over the Dolphins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dixon clearly couldn't get anything going on the ground, but he showed off his pass-catching acumen while drawing the start. The 24-year-old seems like he has a firm hold on the No. 3 running back job behind Alex Collins and Javorius Allen, a role that could give him some utility in deeper PPR formats to open the season.

That said, the report suggests that Dixon does not appear to be moving around at full strength. It's unclear if the running back had a minor setback, of if he is still shaking off the rust following an injury-marred 2017 campaign. Generally speaking, however, coach John Harbaugh has been pleased with what he's seen from Dixon this summer, but for the time being Alex Collins and Javorius Allen remains ahead of Dixon in Baltimore's backfield pecking order.

Dixon rushed six times for 32 yards and caught three of his four targets for 24 receiving yards in Monday night's 20-19 win over the Colts in the third preseason game.

EDGE Analysis

Dixon showed some juice, making chunk plays both on the ground and in the air. He entered Monday's contest after Buck Allen, who finished with three carries for 19 yards and two catches for 11 more. With projected starter Alex Collins not playing, both Dixon and Allen acquitted themselves nicely, with Dixon's 56 scrimmage yards leading the Ravens.

Dixon (undisclosed) is set to make his preseason debut Monday against the Colts, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports. "He looked good in practice the past few days, [he] looks like he's healthy, so to see him in a game will be exciting," coach John Harbaugh said.

EDGE Analysis

Things are trending in the right direction for Dixon after sitting out of the first two preseason games with nagging injuries. However, there is some pressure on Dixon with Alex Collins established as the starter and Javorious Allen seemingly locked into the No.2 role. Dixon figures to get a fair bit of run in Monday's game, which makes him a target in daily contests as the team continues to evaluate where he fits in its running back pecking order.

Dixon (undisclosed) is not playing in Thursday's game against the Rams, freelance NFL writer Jeff Zrebiec reports.

EDGE Analysis

After taking the field in full uniform during pre-game warmups, Dixon was no longer suited up when it was time for the opening kickoff. He missed more than a week of practice with a hamstring issue earlier in training camp and was removed from Tuesday's session with an undisclosed injury. Dixon's continued absence makes Javorius Allen a clear favorite for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.

EDGE Analysis

During warmups, Dixon was seen running routes, which comes on the heels of a hamstring injury that held him out for the majority of training camp to date. If he plays, he could earn a sizable workload with starter Alex Collins likely contained to minimal work in the exhibition opener.

Dixon was removed from Tuesday's practice early, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dixon returned from a hamstring injury Saturday and made it through three practices without incident, but it now appears he either suffered a setback or a new injury. Coming off a season lost to a torn meniscus, the 2016 fourth-round draft pick hasn't logged enough time on the practice field to make his case for a role in the Baltimore offense. Javorius Allen may end up unchallenged in the No. 2 running back spot.

Dixon (hamstring) returned to practice Saturday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dixon had missed just over a week of training camp after tweaking his hamstring in late July, but the issue has subsided as he projects to compete for a change-of-pace role in the Ravens' backfield behind likely starter Alex Collins. Dixon missed the entirety of his 2017 campaign due to a torn meniscus, so a swift return to full health will be key for Dixon throughout the preseason.

Dixon (hamstring) didn't practice Monday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dixon has missed three consecutive practices after injuring his hamstring Thursday, and while there's been nothing to indicate it's a serious issue, any missed time is problematic for a player looking to rebound from a lost season. Dixon missed all of 2017 due to a torn meniscus and is now hoping to push Javorius Allen for the right to serve as a change-of-pace complement to lead runner Alex Collins. It isn't out of the question for Baltimore to find roles for all three backs.

Dixon (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dixon left Thursday's practice after tweaking his hamstring, and while the injury isn't believed to be serious, it will keep him off the field for at least one day. After missing all of last season with a torn meniscus, the 2016 fourth-round pick figures to compete with Javorius Allen for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind incumbent starter Alex Collins.
