Ravens Provide Injury Update on Keaton Mitchell
Keaton Mitchell, the Baltimore Ravens running back, showed promise before suffering a knee injury that interrupted his rookie season.
After going undrafted last year, Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell established his worth in the NFL during his first season.
Mitchell carried for 396 yards and two scores in only eight games and two strats while also being a strong receiver. The most notable aspect of his game was the number of long runs he broke off, resulting in an average of 8.43 yards per carry for the season.
Unfortunately, Mitchell suffered a complete ACL tear during the Ravens’ Week 15 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mitchell’s promising first season was cut short by an injury that also called into question his future in the NFL.
Fortunately, Mitchell appears to be making good progress with his recuperation. On Wednesday, Ravens coach John Harbaugh informed reporters that Mitchell is set to begin jogging next week, and while his comeback isn’t imminent, Harbaugh is “optimistic” that he will return at some point this season.
More good news for the Ravens: they will still have two strong running backs, Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, as well as the league’s best rushing quarterback, Lamar Jackson. When Mitchell returns, the Ravens’ rushing attack, which was already the best in the league last season, should become even more potent.
