John Harbaugh said the hope is to work RB Keaton Mitchell more into the offense.

Mitchell was such an electric player a year ago before tearing his ACL in Week 15. The Ravens are still going to give Henry his carries but Mitchell may be able to eat into Hill's workload at some point. Mitchell returned a kick for 30 yards but didn't get any other touches in last week's win over the Bengals on Thursday night. Harbaugh was quoted in the post as seeing a potential three-headed monster, but it's going to be tough to get touches with Henry, Hill and Lamar Jackson all involved in the running game.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) expected to be active for tonight’s Bengals game barring unforeseen development, per sources.

Practiced in full this week and ready for his season debut. A jolt of speed in time for rivalry game.

We wouldn't expect a ton of usage out of Mitchell here, but it will probably come at the expense of Hill, rather than Henry, if it's a close game. We'll have to see how the backfield splits moving forward, but stashing Mitchell is certainly not a bad idea.

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

Mitchell tore his ACL in Week 15 last year but has been practicing fully since last week. He didn't play in Week 9 but could get the call in Week 10. We all remember how explosive Mitchell was last year and eventually had stand-alone fantasy value despite not being a bell cow type back. He probably won't be that this season either with Henry leading the way and Hill also showing he's productive. Mitchell will also likely be eased back in the lineup at least to start, but at some point Mitchell could perhaps take over Hill's workload if he can prove to be as dynamic as he was a year ago.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell is participating in his first practice since suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 15 of last year. Mitchell, who is on PUP, has started his 21-day window to return.

Still a long way from fantasy relevance, but his return could severely impact Justice Hill's status as a deep Flex option. We'll keep an eye on the situation but Mitchell can remain on waiver wires for now.

John Harbaugh said the Ravens didn’t bring Derrick Henry to Baltimore with the plan to give him 30+ carries each game.

Jackson ran 16 times in Week 1 to Henry's 13. Zay Flowers had two runs with Hill getting just one. Hill was involved in the passing game with six catches, however. For what it's worth, Jackson missed practice Monday with no word form the team as to why, but it sounds like the Ravens don't play to change their offense. It remains to be seen if Jackson can handle that many runs a week going forward. It's possible Mitchell, upon his return at some point this season, could help out in the run game but he doesn't seem to be close to a return just yet.

Baltimore is expected to leave RB Keaton Mitchell on the Physically Unable to Perform List, which means he will be ineligible to play the first four games of the season.

Mitchell burst onto the scene last year and was a very popular pickup that paid off for a couple of weeks before he went down for the season. Hill will likely get the call to compliment Henry, and Ali could get a chance as well. Ali was a popular, late-round dynasty name this past spring.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said RB Keaton Mitchell is “on schedule” in his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered in Week 15, but he will not be back for training camp, and he is not expected back until “sometime during the season. It’s not like right around the corner.”

Hill and Ali will have a chance to lock down a backup role early in the season, but it remains to be seen exactly how large that will be. All three deserve dart-throw considerations behind Henry at the end of drafts.

Free-agent Derrick Henry is signing a two-year, $16 million deal worth up to $20 million, including $9 million fully guaranteed in the first year with the Baltimore Ravens.

This is a truly terrifying backfield if Keaton Mitchell is fully recovered by the beginning of the season. Henry will usurp Gus Edwards' goal-line role, which led to the former Raven scoring 13 rushing touchdowns, with 12 of them coming from within the five-yard line. Henry is a top-10 back, even with a truncated role.

Tennessee running back Derrick Henry said he is pondering his future after a frustrating 19-16 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday that officially eliminated the Titans from playoff contention.

"Yeah, definitely today you had that feeling [that it could be the end of my career with the Titans]," said Henry, who is normally one to stay in the moment. "I had hope of kind of slipping in there [the playoffs], and then being eliminated with three games left. I've been here my whole career. Definitely wanted to go out strong, which that isn't the case."

The Titans will make a decision regarding the 29-year-old Henry, who is set to become a free agent after the four-year, $50 million contract he signed in 2020 runs out after this season. Tennessee is projected to have $91.8 million in cap space this offseason, so signing Henry is a possibility, the story went on to say. However, rookie Spears' 410 snaps are just one fewer than Henry this season the story also pointed out. With the playoffs out of reach, the Tians could opt to give Spears more looks going forward the rest of the season, which is something fantasy owners of both players will want to consider.

Titans coach Mike Vrabel clarifies that RB Derrick Henry is not in the concussion protocol.

Earlier today we reported from Adam Schefter that Henry was in protocol, but that turns out not to be the case. As Rapoport's post went on to say, this news puts Henry on track to play this week. It's a Monday night game against the Dolphins so owners will want to continue to monitor the situation. If for some reason Spears is still on your wire, he's still worth grabbing, especially if you're a Henry owner.
