  • Pre-Season Outlook

    Mitchell earned a role in Baltimore's backfield rotation in 2023 as an undrafted rookie, only to suffer an ACL tear in December right when he was heating up. He spent the first half of 2024 finishing his rehab, and then saw limited chances behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill once he returned. Mitchell's game is pure speed, having run a 4.37 40 at the 2023 Combine, where he checked in at 5-foot-8, 179 pounds (the Ravens now list him at 191 pounds). Whatever his exact weight, Mitchell is one of the league's smaller running backs, likely making him a replacement for Hill more so than Henry, although it's possible he could also poach the occasional carry from Henry to give defenses a drastically different look on early downs.

  • Feels back in top form

    Mitchell has been a standout at Baltimore's voluntary OTAs and said Monday that he feels fully recovered from the ACL tear he suffered as a rookie in 2023, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old is showing some of the burst he displayed before the injury, when across eight regular-season games in 2023 he rushed 47 times for 396 yards and two scores, for a tremendous 8.4 YPC. The following season, Mitchell's debut was delayed until Week 10 due to his rehab, and across five regular-season appearances he was held to just 2.0 YPC. Now entering Year 3, he not only feels 100 percent healthy, but he indicated that he's set personal records in all of his speed tracking…read more

  • Incomplete grade in Year 2

    Mitchell finished the season with 15 carries for 30 yards and one reception on one target for 28 yards across five regular-season games.

    Analysis: The second-year running back missed the season's first nine games while recovering from the significant knee injury that ended his promising rookie campaign. Even though Mitchell was active in Weeks 10-12, he did not receive an offensive touch in those games. He was then inactive for three games before somewhat getting in the mix in the final two weeks with 15 combined carries. The 2.0 YPC was a far cry from the 8.4 figure he established on 47 carries last season. If Justice Hill returns during…read more

  • Tears off long kick return Saturday

    Mitchell took four carries for 10 yards and returned a kick for 47 yards during Saturday's 35-10 win versus the Browns.

    Analysis: Mitchell played just 14 of Baltimore's 67 offensive snaps in Week 18, a similar role to what he saw in Week 17 at Houston after being inactive the three games prior. However, his biggest contribution to Saturday's win actually came on special teams, as he took a second-quarter kickoff all the way out to Cleveland's 48-yard line. He figures to play only sparingly in the wild-card round versus the Steelers as long as Derrick Henry is at full strength.

  • Gets involved vs. Texans

    Mitchell had 11 carries for 20 yards and added a 28-yard reception in Wednesday's win against the Texans.

    Analysis: The rushing output wasn't spectacular, but the rushing volume was noteworthy for Mitchell. They marked his first carries since suffering a season-ending knee injury as a rookie in 2023. He had made three appearances prior to Wednesday but had yet to receive a touch. Mitchell showed off the speed and elusiveness that got people's attention last year when he scooted upfield for a 28-yard gain on his lone reception. Derrick Henry remains the king of the Baltimore backfield and Justice Hill will…read more

  • Will play against Houston

    Mitchell is active for Wednesday's game against the Texans, Clifford Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell has been a healthy inactive for the Ravens' last three games, but he will suit up Christmas Day due to Justice Hill being ruled out with a concussion. Baltimore has opted for rookie fifth-round pick Rasheen Ali to serve as the third-string running back behind Derrick Henry and Hill over its last three games, so Ali could settle into the No. 2 role ahead of Mitchell on Wednesday. Mitchell is also likely to be involved on special teams as a kickoff returner.

  • Inactive again Week 16

    Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive against the Steelers on Saturday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game. Rasheen Ali will join Derrick Henry and Justice Hill to serve as Baltimore's third active running back for Saturday's rivalry game.

  • Remains inactive

    Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Mitchell returned from a torn ACL in Week 10 but played only three total offensive snaps in three games thereafter. He's now a healthy scratch for the second straight week, allowing Rasheen Ali to suit up for the third time on the campaign.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Mitchell is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Mitchell, who didn't log any snaps on offense in Week 12, will be the odd man out in the Baltimore backfield Sunday. In his absence, Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali are the team's available running backs versus Philadelphia.

  • No role in offense yet

    Mitchell did not get a touch on two offensive snaps Sunday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: The Ravens continue to slow-play Mitchell's reintroduction to the offense. Through two games, Mitchell has zero touches on three offensive snaps. He's been involved in the kick return game, but his role in the offense has been minimal since returning from a significant knee injury last December. The Ravens have two more games before the bye -- at the Chargers in Week 12 and home against the Eagles in Week 13 -- so it's possible that Mitchell will start to get more involved down the stretch.

  • Limited snaps in return

    In his return to action in Thursday's 35-34 win over the Bengals, Mitchell logged two snaps on offense and seven on special teams, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's not surprising that in his first game back since having suffered a torn ACL in his left knee Week 15 of the 2023 campaign, Mitchell -- who didn't record a carry or target Thursday -- was eased back into the mix. The 22-year-old speedster did return one kickoff for 30 yards, and he'll likely see incrementally more snaps in the coming weeks. However, with Derrick Henry entrenched as the Ravens' lead back and Justice Hill working in a change-of-pace role, it may be a while before Mitchell…read more

  • Active for Thursday's game

    Mitchell (knee) is active for Thursday night's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: After being activated from the reserve/PUP list ahead of the contest, Mitchell is slated to see his first game action since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee in Week 15 of the 2023 campaign. While he's no threat to Derrick Henry's perch atop the Ravens' RB depth chart, Mitchell should be able to carve out a complementary role in the team's backfield alongside Justice Hill. In such a capacity, Mitchell initially will carry modest fantasy lineup upside, but his presence going forward should,…read more

  • Activated from PUP list

    Mitchell (knee) was activated from the reserve/PUP list ahead of Thursday's game against the Bengals, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell remains listed as questionable after he was a full practice participant this week, but he's poised to make his season debut versus Cincinnati nonetheless. Official confirmation of his Week 10 status will arrive once the Ravens' inactive list is posted ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Before tearing the ACL in his left knee last December, Mitchell had been in the midst of a promising rookie season in which he carried 47 times for 396 yards (8.4 YPC) and two touchdowns to go…read more

  • Chance to play in Week 10

    Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Mitchell (knee) has a chance to play in Thursday's game against the Bengals, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell practiced in full all week but wasn't activated from the PUP list ahead of Sunday's blowout win over the Broncos. He was designated to return from the PUP list Oct. 23, and Harbaugh's comments suggest that the running back could be ready to make his season debut Week 10. If Mitchell is activated for Thursday's contest, he'll likely serve as the team's No. 3 running back behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

  • Won't return for Week 9

    Mitchell (knee) wasn't activated from the PUP list ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Denver, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell continues to make progress in his recovery from last December's torn ACL, and he was able to log a trio of full practices this week. Per Zrebiec, Baltimore is opting to give Mitchell more practice time before activating him, and he still has 11 days left on his 21-day practice window before the team has to make a decision on him, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. The Ravens have a quick turnaround after Sunday's contest with a Thursday matchup against Cincinnati in Week 10, and…read more

    Analysis: Keaton began the regular season on the reserve/PUP list while in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL in his left knee that he sustained in Week 15 of the 2023 campaign. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 23, and while he was a limited participant all of last week, he was able to practice without restrictions Wednesday. If he's able to log full practices over the next two days, there's a chance he could be activated off IR and make his 2024 regular-season debut against the…read more

    Analysis: Mitchell -- who has been recovering from an ACL tear suffered last December -- took part in his practice of the 2024 season Wednesday, participating in a limited fashion. Head coach John Harbaugh has already ruled out Mitchell for Sunday's game against the Browns, but Wednesday's transaction officially opens the running back's 21-day evaluation window.

    Analysis: Harbaugh added that Mitchell is set to go full speed in practice Thursday, after which point the team will have a better indication of a potential timetable for the second-year running back's return from a torn ACL suffered last December. The Ravens are hoping Mitchell will come back prior to the expiration of his 21-day window to return from the PUP list, which will open when he officially starts practicing.

  • Set to resume practicing

    Mitchell (knee) is in line to return to practice this week, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell, who suffered an ACL tear last December, is on the PUP list, but once he's back at practice, the running back's 21-day window for reinstatement to the 53-man roster will open. Per Mink, Mitchell will likely need a multi-week ramp-up period before returning to game action, but once the 22-year-old is deemed ready, he'll provide the Ravens with backfield depth behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

    Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Mitchell (knee) is "right on schedule" but "isn't close enough yet to talk about," Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: In other words, the Ravens never expected Mitchell to contribute in the first half of the season, hoping instead to get him back later in the campaign. He suffered an ACL tear Week 15 last season and apparently will remain on the PUP list for at least a few more weeks. Harbaugh said that the team expects Mitchell to play at some point in 2024.

    The Ravens placed Mitchell (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell is working his way back from a torn left ACL, and while his placement on the reserve/PUP list only officially rules him out for the first four games of the season, the second-year pro may not be to ready to retake the field until November. In any case, Derrick Henry is positioned to work as the clear No. 1 backfield option for Baltimore, while Justice Hill remains in town to handle pass-catching work.

  • Staying on PUP list

    Mitchell (knee) will remain on the PUP list to start the regular season, ruling him out for at least four games, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: It's not surprising given the lack of updates on Mitchell's progress since he was placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp. He suffered an ACL tear in Week 15 of last season, ending an impressive run of performances in which he'd emerged as Baltimore's best backfield threat despite being an undrafted rookie. The team has since signed Derrick Henry and still has Justice Hill for passing downs, but Mitchell's speed could make him useful in a change-of-pace role at some point Week 5 or…read more

  • Starting camp on PUP list

    The Ravens placed Mitchell (knee) on the PUP list Monday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell, who is working his way back from a left ACL tear suffered last December, will unsurprisingly have to begin training camp on the PUP list. He can be moved to the active roster at any time during training camp and the preseason, once he's ready to practice, but if he remains sidelined by the time Week 1 rolls around, Mitchell will need to be moved to the reserve/PUP list and thus miss a minimum of four games to start the season.

    Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Mitchell (knee) won't be ready for the start of training camp but is "on schedule" in his recovery from an ACL tear sustained Week 15 last season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Harbaugh said Mitchell isn't expected to be ready until "sometime during the season." That's unsurprising given the timing of Mitchell's injury, but fantasy managers should brace for the eventuality that the second-year back isn't available Week 1, or at least not at full strength. Derrick Henry will work as Baltimore's clear No. 1 backfield option, but given that he's 30 years old, the team could want to keep him from the sort of league-leading workload he's handled in the past.

  • Looks set to back up Henry

    Mitchell (knee) appears poised to work in a complementary role in the Baltimore backfield in 2024 after Derrick Henry agreed to a two-year contract with the Ravens on Tuesday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell and Justice Hill now become the top backups to Henry, a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL rushing leader, while J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) appears set to leave Baltimore in free agency and Gus Edwards is slated to join the Chargers. Both Mitchell and Hill boast speed and pass-catching chops, making them worthy complements to Henry's overpowering rushing style, though Hill has the benefit of not needing to work his way back from an ACL tear.

    Analysis: The move is merely procedural after the Ravens confirmed Monday that Mitchell sustained a torn ACL in his left knee this past Sunday at Jacksonville. With Mitchell's season over and J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) also on IR, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will handle most of the backfield reps moving forward, though Melvin Gordon was signed off the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.

  • MRI confirms torn ACL

    Mitchell (knee) tore his ACL in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell's injury was confirmed by an MRI. He will miss the remainder of the 2023 season, and his availability for the beginning of the 2024 campaign could be impacted by this injury. Mitchell finishes his rookie season with 47 carries for 396 yards (8.4 YPC) and two touchdowns, as well as nine catches for 93 yards on 11 targets. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will likely lead Baltimore's backfield once again, just as they did while Mitchell recovered from a hamstring injury earlier in the season.

    Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars that Mitchell suffered a serious left knee injury and will likely miss the remainder of the season, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell went down in the fourth quarter and was carted to the locker room. The elusive runner had 73 rushing yards on just nine carries prior to getting hurt Sunday, and Mitchell will likely finish his rookie season with an average of 8.4 yards per carry (396 yards on 47 attempts). An official move placing Mitchell on injured reserve could be coming shortly if Harbaugh's pessimistic prognostication is confirmed.

    Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Mitchell was ruled out shortly after being carted to the locker room in the fourth quarter. Based on the initial reaction to his injury, Mitchell could be looking at a multi-week absence, though the severity of his injury will likely be clarified soon. If Mitchell doesn't play in Week 16 against the 49ers, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill would be in line to lead Baltimore's backfield.

He had nine carries for 73 yards and caught both of his targets for 15 yards prior to the injury.

    Analysis: Mitchell led the Baltimore backfield with nine carries and 10 touches, though Lamar Jackson led the team with 11 rushing attempts. Mitchell continued to show off his explosiveness, as his longest gain of the day went for 27 yards, and he also managed four rushes of at least six yards. The Ravens haven't been willing to completely turn the rushing attack over to Mitchell, but he has at least eight carries in four of the team's last five contests.

    Mitchell carried the ball nine times for 64 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers. He added two catches on two targets for 25 yards.

    Analysis: Mitchell drew the first carry of the game for the Ravens and ultimately led the backfield with 11 touches. As has been the case, he was explosive with the ball in his hands, as his longest rush went for 29 yards, and he also chipped in with a 14-yard reception. Mitchell saw double-digit carries for the second time in his last four games and should continue to see his role expand once the Ravens return from their bye in Week 14.

    Analysis: The rookie back garnered seven more carries than fellow complementary option Justice Hill, further cementing the fact he appears to have clearly moved past the latter for the No. 2 running back role. Mitchell, an undrafted rookie, gained the majority of his yardage on a 21-yard run, but his explosiveness and versatility figure to continue affording him a solid allotment of snaps in a Week 12 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday night, Nov. 26.

    Analysis: After Mitchell turned in a nine-carry, 138-yard rushing performance in a blowout win over Seattle in Week 9, Harbaugh spoke of expanding the rookie's role in the backfield rotation alongside Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. The coach held true to that promise early in Sunday's 33-31 loss to Cleveland, and Mitchell came through with an electrifying 39-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, then helped set up a field goal on the next possession with a 32-yard catch and run.

    Analysis: Gus Edwards continued to lead the Baltimore backfield, as he tallied 12 touches compared to Mitchell's four. On the other hand, there's no doubt as to who the more explosive player was, as Mitchell found the end zone on a 39-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter.

The rookie's status will be made official roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. kickoff. Mitchell put up a 9-138-1 statline on the ground versus Seattle in Week 9, but he did so on only 13 offensive snaps.

    Analysis: Though Harbaugh didn't go into specifics regarding what Mitchell's role might look like in the weeks to come, the undrafted rookie out of East Carolina may have earned himself a regular share of the backfield snaps and touches after a breakout performance in this past Sunday's 37-3 win over Seattle.

  • Proves to be big-play threat

    Mitchell recorded nine rushes for 138 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-3 win over the Seahawks. He added one reception for negative-four yards.

    Analysis: Mitchell's final line jumps off the page, as he accounted for two of Baltimore's three longest plays from scrimmage with 60 and 40-yard runs -- the latter of which went for his first career touchdown. While both came in garbage time, Mitchell's usage was intriguing, as he earned an equal amount of carries to Gus Edwards and Justice Hill in the first half. Mitchell ran an impressive 4.37 40-yard dash at the 2023 combine, so if he can continue to gain a foothold in the offense, he could emerge as…read more

  • No injury designation for Week 9

    Mitchell (hamstring) has no injury designation for Week 9 and will play in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie has played two offensive snaps all season, registering zero rushing attempts while catching his lone target for nine yards. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill should continue to handle the backfield work for Baltimore.

    Mitchell (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell was held out of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 7 against the Lions. The undrafted rookie out of East Carolina is trending in the right direction to play Week 9 against the Seahawks.

  • Unavailable Sunday

    Mitchell (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game with the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Mitchell will be forced to sit out after he suffered a hamstring strain in Week 7 versus the Lions. The running back was able to practice in full Friday, but he'll now shift his focus to returning in Week 9 against Seattle.

  • Chance to play Sunday

    Mitchell (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan reports.

    Analysis: The 21-year-old running back out of East Carolina seems to be trending in the right direction to play this Sunday, as he went from limited participation in Thursday's practice to a full workload Friday. Mitchell has appeared in two games for the Ravens since coming off injured reserve, playing primarily on special teams (52 percent of snaps).

    Mitchell (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell sat out of practice Wednesday, but he was able to participate in a limited capacity Thursday. If he can upgrade again to full participation Friday, he might avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

    Mitchell (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell received his first regular-season snaps on offense in Sunday's win over the Lions, but he injured his hamstring along the way and now is considered week-to-week. He's unlikely to practice this week or play in Sunday's game at Arizona.

  • Considered week-to-week

    Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Mitchell avoided a substantial hamstring strain during Sunday's game versus Detroit and is week-to-week, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's somewhat relieving news for Mitchell, who played his first two offensive snaps at the NFL level in Week 7 versus the Lions before leaving with a hamstring injury. There is an outside chance he could return to action as soon as Sunday at Arizona.

  • Questionable to return

    Mitchell exited Sunday's game against the Lions with a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: Mitchell did not play an offensive snap during his season debut last week against Tennessee. The undrafted rookie did log the first carry of his NFL career for nine yards during Sunday's contest, though it appears he sustained some sort of hamstring injury during the second half. With Baltimore up by more than four scores in the fourth quarter, it's unlikely that Mitchell will return even if he is able to overcome this hamstring injury. If he does not return, his next chance to play would come…read more

  • No offensive snaps in debut

    Mitchell played zero offensive snaps in his NFL debut in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: The rookie was activated off injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game after missing the first five games of the season with a shoulder injury. Mitchell was unable to leverage his activation into a role on offense, however, as he only saw the field on special teams. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, head coach John Harbaugh believed Mitchell "played well on special teams," adding that offensive coordinator Todd Monken "will be looking for opportunities to get [Mitchell] involved" moving…read more

  • Making NFL debut Sunday

    Mitchell (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans in London.

    Analysis: As was expected after the Ravens reinstated him from injured reserve Saturday, Mitchell will be available to make his NFL debut Week 6, joining a Baltimore backfield that includes Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. An undrafted rookie out of East Carolina, Mitchell showed plenty of burst in the preseason, averaging 6.0 yards per carry on seven totes and recorded a pair of receptions in two contests. At 5-foot-8 and 191 pounds, Mitchell may not be capable of handling a big workload, but he could…read more

  • Shifts off IR

    Mitchell (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans in London.

    Analysis: It's unclear whether the Ravens plan to have the undrafted rookie suit up this weekend for his NFL debut, but Mitchell's activation is obviously still a positive step in the right direction. Mitchell's status for the Week 6 contest will be established one way or the other when Baltimore releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. With J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) out for the season, Mitchell could have an opportunity to push Gus Edwards and Justice Hill for playing…read more

  • Questionable but still on IR

    Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans in London.

    Analysis: Mitchell remains on injured reserve after being designated to return to practice prior to Baltimore's Week 5 matchup with the Steelers. After logging three full practices this week, the rookie running back could make his NFL debut against the Titans, though he would first need to be activated from injured reserve. Fantasy managers considering deploying Mitchell will need to set their alarms to check his status, as Sunday's game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. EDT from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

  • Not activated yet

    Mitchell (shoulder) was not activated off injured reserve Saturday, and as a result he will not play Sunday against the Steelers, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell was designated to return to practice earlier this week and was a full participant in subsequent days, but the Ravens are ultimately choosing to play it safe with the undrafted rookie. Kenyan Drake was elevated off the practice squad Saturday and would likely serve as the team's backup to Gus Edwards if Justice Hill (foot/hamstring) is not cleared for action.

  • Questionable after full practice

    Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie was designated Wednesday to return from injured reserve and has since been a full participant in practice. Having missed the minimum four games, Mitchell could make his NFL regular-season debut this Sunday, though there's also a chance he'll be inactive even if he's healthy enough. If the Ravens call up Melvin Gordon from the practice squad again, it'll be a strong sign that Mitchell either isn't expected to play or won't see much playing time.

  • Return window opens

    Mitchell (shoulder) practiced Wednesday, opening a 21-day window in which he can be evaluated for a return from injured reserve, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell averaged 6.0 yards per carry during the preseason, so the speedy undrafted rookie out of East Carolina could be an intriguing addition to a Baltimore backfield that consists of Gus Edwards, Justice Hill and Melvin Gordon after losing J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 1. Before being eligible to play, Mitchell will need to be activated from IR and added to the 53-man roster, but such a move could happen at any point in the next three weeks. If Mitchell turns in a…read more

  • Nearing return

    Mitchell (shoulder) could be activated from IR this week according to head coach John Harbaugh, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell suffered the injury in the team's second preseason game and was placed on injured reserve Aug. 31. After missing the mandatory four games, the running back is eligible to return to the active roster and play as soon as Sunday against the Steelers. However, even if activated this week, the Ravens will have a 21-day window to add him to the 53-man roster, so there's no guarantee he'll be suiting up in Week 5.

  • Headed to IR

    The Ravens placed Mitchell (shoulder) on injured reserve Thursday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell injured his shoulder in the Ravens' second preseason game against the Commanders following a 31-yard run. Despite the injury and missing some time during training camp, he was able to beat out Melvin Gordon and Owen Wright for the No. 4 running back spot behind J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. Mitchell will now have to sit out for at least the first four games of the 2023 season.

  • May be candidate for IR

    Mitchell (shoulder) has secured a spot on Baltimore's initial 53-man roster but is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: If Mitchell is forced to IR, he would be ineligible to play in any of the first four games of the season. He injured his shoulder in the second week of the preseason shortly after breaking off a 31-yard run, and while he was spotted at practice just a few days later, the Ravens might find that he's still banged up enough to require an IR stint. The Ravens have three healthy veterans -- J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill -- atop their backfield depth chart to start the season, with…read more

  • Practicing Wednesday

    Mitchell (shoulder) is practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell left Monday's preseason game against the Commanders due to a shoulder injury, but coach John Harbaugh said the injury wasn't too serious, and the running back's prompt return confirms that notion. The rookie undrafted free agent from East Carolina has had a strong camp, but he's likely vying for a practice squad spot rather than a spot on the 53-man roster. Nonetheless, Mitchell should have a chance to help his case in Saturday's preseason finale against Tampa Bay.

  • Injury not considered serious

    Coach John Harbaugh said the shoulder injury Mitchell suffered Monday night against the Commanders isn't serious, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell left after rushing one time for 31 yards and never returned to the game. It sounds like he avoided a serious injury. Mitchell is in a contested battle for the Ravens' RB4 job behind J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill. Mitchell's special teams contributions and playmaking ability might give him the edge over veteran Melvin Gordon.

  • Injures left shoulder Monday

    Mitchell suffered a left shoulder injury during Monday's preseason game at Washington.

    Analysis: At the end of a 31-yard run down the right sideline in the third quarter, Mitchell endured a big hit from a Commanders defender and was tended to by Ravens trainers on the sideline before making his way to the locker room. The extent of the injury isn't known, but Baltimore officially is calling the undrafted rookie running back questionable to return.

  • Contained on ground in debut

    Mitchell rushed six times for 11 yards, brought in one of two targets of nine yards and returned three kickoffs for 73 yards in the Ravens' 20-19 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Mitchell was limited to filling a returner role in the first half, but he was then afforded some opportunity from scrimmage over the first two Ravens possessions after halftime. While he found running room at a premium, Mitchell made good use of his one reception and also was solid on his three kickoff returns. The undrafted East Carolina product and two-time 1,000-yard rusher, who's striving to unseat either Justice Hill or Melvin Gordon and earn a No. 4 running back role, is likely to see…read more
