Keaton Mitchell's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) has a chance to make his season debut in Week 10 on Thursday night against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Mitchell was also listed as a full participant in Monday's practice estimate, so he's clearly tracking towards a return this week. The 22-year-old second-year back also practiced in full all of last week but wasn't activated for the Week 9 blowout win over the Denver Broncos. Make no mistake that Baltimore's backfield will continue to be led by the NFL's rushing leader in Derrick Henry, but Mitchell will give Baltimore yet another explosive change-of-pace weapon in an already stacked offense. Mitchell's return will make Justice Hill less interesting in deeper fantasy leagues. Mitchell will likely be eased in if he returns Thursday, but he's worth rostering in most leagues as RB depth.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) was not activated from the PUP list ahead of Saturday's deadline. The 22-year-old was a full participant in practice this week, but evidently, the Ravens aren't ready to activate him quite yet. His potential 2024 season debut will now be pushed back to Week 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Rasheen Ali (ankle) also sidelined this week, the Ravens will head into Sunday's clash with Derrick Henry and Justice Hill leading their backfield.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) is not expected to suit up ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Mitchell is recovering from an ACL injury that he suffered last season. He has yet to play this season, but was able to practice this week. He's a little over a week into his 21-day practice window. The team still has some time to get Mitchell ready to play before his window ends. He figures to be mixed in as a change-of-pace back once he's healthy to play. However, Mitchell probably won't have a huge role behind Derrick Henry in the backfield.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Mitchell has yet to play this season after suffering a significant knee injury last year. However, the Ravens opened his 21-day practice window on October 23. He has been practicing this week and looks to be trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game. It remains to be seen how Mitchell would be used in the rotation. Derrick Henry has been the workhorse back and that is unlikely to change. Mitchell was fantastic when healthy last season, so he's worth stashing if available on the waiver wire.

The Baltimore Ravens are planning for running back Keaton Mitchell (knee), who has been out all season since suffering a serious knee injury last December, to start his three-week practice window this week, according to sources. Mitchell has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list all year but is now nearing a return. The Ravens will have 21 days to officially activate him from the PUP. They'll get a look at him in practice this week, but that doesn't mean he'll make his 2024 debut this weekend against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. The 22-year-old tore his ACL in Week 15 of 2023, so he's likely to be eased into a backfield that boasts the NFL's leading rusher in Derrick Henry. When Mitchell is fully ready, he'll give Baltimore another explosive backfield option alongside Henry and Justice Hill. Mitchell is worth stashing in most fantasy leagues, especially if you have Henry rostered as well.
