Ravens Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice maintained a heft...

Aug 20, 2012

Ravens Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice maintained a hefty workload last season for the Ravens with 291 carries for a career-high 1,364 rushing yards and 76 receptions for 704 yards.

As far as running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery is concerned, he sees no reason to reduce Rice's touches, considering that he led the NFL with 2,068 yards from scrimmage and scored 15 touchdowns.

"You don't buy a new car and put it in the driveway and just park it in the garage," Montgomery said. "You buy it, you drive it. If you wear the wheels off, you go out and get another one. So, Ray carrying 300 times, I'm looking for the next Ray Rice after that.

"The game today, you can't save guys. You have to play them, and you ask them to give you whatever they have to give in return and ask for nothing in return. If they can do that, we are on the right track."

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
