Keaton Mitchell Suffers Knee Injury in Ravens-Jaguars Game

Keaton Mitchell nearly broke free for a touchdown, but instead went down with a knee injury.

Mitchell was carted to the locker room and immediately ruled out for the rest of the game.

Mitchell was tripped up from behind during a fourth-quarter run and landed awkwardly on his leg.

The injury happened early in the fourth quarter as Mitchell exploded for an outside run around the right tackle. Jaguars safety Andrew Wingard dove to try to stop Mitchell and barely got a piece of him.

Ravens players immediately went down on one knee, recognizing the severity of the injury.

The undrafted rookie had established himself as Baltimore’s lead running back in recent weeks, bringing a different level of explosion and big-play ability. He finished the game with nine carries for 73 yards (8.1 per carry), including a 24-yarder when he reversed field.

With Mitchell out, the Ravens will lean more heavily once again on Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. Edwards scored on a 1-yard touchdown plunge to start the fourth quarter.
