Dec 17, 2023; Jacksonville, Florida, USA; Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (34) runs the ball against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fourth quarter at EverBank Stadium.

Overview

  • The Baltimore Sun/Capital Gazette, citing a source with direct knowledge, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler report that Keaton Mitchell is expected to dress for the first time this season on Sunday.
  • Lamar Jackson has been ruled out, and Cooper Rush will make his first start for Baltimore against Houston at M&T Bank Stadium.
  • Mitchell was a healthy scratch for the first four games as John Harbaugh prioritized Rasheen Ali's special teams role over the speed back's offensive upside.
  • Harbaugh acknowledged this week that Mitchell could be active, with the final decision subject to the official game-day active list.
  • If he plays, it would be his first game action since the 2024–25 Divisional Round, following a 2023 ACL tear and a preseason hamstring issue, with Derrick Henry and Justice Hill anchoring the current rotation.
