Overview
- Head coach John Harbaugh said the staff decided during the bye to ‘tag plays’ specifically for Keaton Mitchell to ensure he gets touches.
- Mitchell delivered in the Week 8 win over the Bears with four rushes for 43 yards, including a 25-yard run, and he added two long kickoff returns.
- Next Gen Stats clocked Mitchell at a top speed of 20.3 mph on his 25-yard carry, highlighting his breakaway threat.
- Analysts say his efficiency supports a larger role, but the Ravens are expected to expand his usage gradually with Derrick Henry remaining the primary back.
- The second-year speed back was inactive for the first four games and saw limited snaps earlier, with his increased involvement set to be monitored on a short week before facing Miami.
