Ravens restricted free agent Ed Dickson has signed an offseason participation agreement to participate in OTAs.
It's a sign Dickson will soon ink his tender, or perhaps sign off on a multi-year deal. Assistant GM Eric DeCosta recently singled out Dickson as a player the Ravens expect to "take a step forward this season." Dickson has yet to be a consistent fantasy threat in his three-year career, and that won't change in 2013. May 22 - 3:49 PM

Ravens assistant GM Eric DeCosta singled out Ed Dickson as a player he expects to take a step forward this season.

The Ravens haven't yet replaced Anquan Boldin at the No. 2 wideout spot. "We've got some tight ends who can pick up the slack," DeCosta said. "Ed Dickson made some big plays last year in the Super Bowl, really played his best football in the playoffs. ... We really think this is his chance to become a really good tight end in the NFL." Dickson caught just six passes for 90 yards and no touchdowns in four playoff games. Dennis Pitta has shown far more pass-catching chops.
May 7 - 9:42 AM

The Ravens are expected to extend an original-pick tender to restricted free agent Ed Dickson.

Dickson was a third-round pick in 2010, so he'll be safe. After a promising sophomore season in which he tallied 528 yards and five touchdowns, Dickson answered in 2012 with just 21 grabs for 225 yards and no scores. He could be in for an expanded role with Anquan Boldin's departure, but we wouldn't bank on a big year.
Mar 11 - 7:12 PM

Ravens TE Ed Dickson caught two passes for 37 yards in Sunday's Super Bowl 47 loss to the 49ers.

Not an oft-used receiver, Dickson made a terrific back-shoulder catch on a tough throw from Joe Flacco for 23 yards. On the same second-quarter drive, Dickson drew a facemask flag on 49ers SS Donte Whitner, giving Baltimore first-and-goal at the three-yard line to set up Dennis Pitta's one-yard touchdown catch. An impending restricted free agent, Dickson will likely receive an original-pick tender and return as the blocking complement to Pitta in 2013.
Feb 4 - 12:08 AM

Ed Dickson led the Ravens with six catches for 64 yards in Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Bengals.

Dickson saw a team-high eight targets on the afternoon with the Ravens resting their starters after two series of action in the first quarter. After catching 54 passes for five touchdowns in 2011, the No. 2 tight end reeled in just 21 passes for 225 yards and no scores this season. Dickson appeared in 13 games. He'll revert back to backup duties when the Ravens host the Colts next week in the opening round of the playoffs.

Ed Dickson caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's Week 16 win over the Giants.

It was Dickson's first game since he sustained a knee injury in Week 11. He started and played the majority of snaps as the in-line tight end, but saw just one target. Dickson hasn't topped two catches in a game all year.

Ed Dickson (knee) returned to Ravens practice Wednesday, getting in a limited session.

It's Dickson's first practice of any kind since going down in Week 11. It's a sign he'll likely return against the Broncos, but he'll be well off the radar for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.
Wed, Dec 12, 2012 05:01:00 PM

Ravens TE Ed Dickson (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14.

Dickson also sat out last week's loss to the Steelers. In his absence, TE Billy Bajema handled blocking duties. Dennis Pitta saw no increased work, playing 37-of-63 snaps on the day and catching just one ball for 19 yards. Despite the strong matchup against the Redskins, we recommend not getting too carried away with Pitta. He's Rotoworld's No. 14 tight end for Week 14.

Ravens TE Ed Dickson (knee) has yet to resume practicing.

Dickson missed Sunday's loss to the Steelers, and Billy Bajema got the start in his place as the Ravens' blocking TE. Dickson's absence did little to increase Dennis Pitta's fantasy value. Pitta had just one catch for 19 yards. Fantasy owners should expect a minimal uptick for Pitta if Dickson sits out the Ravens' Week 14 road tilt against the Redskins.
Wed, Dec 5, 2012 04:54:00 PM

Ravens declared TE Ed Dickson, ILB Dannell Ellerbe, CB Jimmy Smith, G/T Ramon Harewood, WR Deonte Thompson, DL Bryan Hall and CB Chris Johnson inactive for Week 13 against the Steelers.

As expected, Torrey Smith (thigh) is active. Dickson's absence means a slight uptick in snaps for TE Dennis Pitta, but it shouldn't make a noticeable difference for fantasy purposes.
Sun, Dec 2, 2012 03:11:00 PM

Ravens TE Ed Dickson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Week 13 against the Steelers.

Dennis Pitta still isn't a great fantasy option versus the NFL's No. 1 pass defense, but Dickson's absence could get him a few more snaps and targets. Dickson has been primarily a blocker this year. He has a sprained right knee.
Fri, Nov 30, 2012 02:16:00 PM

Ed Dickson (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Dickson sustained the injury in the Sunday's win over the Chargers. Coach John Harbaugh hinted earlier in the week that Dickson would likely be limited in practice this week, but is expected to play against the Steelers in Week 13.
Wed, Nov 28, 2012 04:42:00 PM

Ed Dickson has been diagnosed with a bruised knee.

Coach John Harbaugh intimated Dickson will likely be limited in practice this week, but it sounds like he'll be ready to go against the Steelers. Dickson remains an afterthought behind Dennis Pitta.
Mon, Nov 26, 2012 04:12:00 PM

The knee injury Ed Dickson sustained in Sunday's Week 12 win over the Chargers is not expected to be major.

Coach John Harbaugh referred to the injury as a sprain. It could be some kind of MCL tweak. If Dickson misses time, Dennis Pitta will get a boost. Pitta had six catches for 42 yards and a touchdown on nine targets Sunday.
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 09:03:00 PM

Ed Dickson left Sunday's game against the Chargers with a right knee injury.

Dickson was injured in the first half and is doubtful to return. Dennis Pitta is working as the full-time tight end now. Dickson was listed on the Week 12 injury report with an ankle issue.
