Mink: Keaton Mitchell is a player the Ravens can't replace. His speed had another gear that no other running back on the team can match and Baltimore will miss his home run potential. He was averaging a whopping 8.4 yards per carry and having one of the best rookie years for a running back ever. It's a tough loss.
With that said, I think the Ravens are still in good shape with the trio of backs they have on the roster. I have confidence in Gus Edwards' ability to step into a lead role, particularly in late December and January games when physicality is at a premium. He can punish opponents and can be trusted in a variety of ways.
Mostly, however, I expect Justice Hill to see an increased workload in Mitchell's absence. Hill is the player that most mimics what Mitchell does with his speed to stress the edges of defense and ability as a pass catcher. Hill was consistently leading the Ravens' running backs in snaps before Mitchell's midseason emergence.
Hill ran well in Jacksonville and has done so all year, averaging a healthy 4.4 yards per carry. He's also good in pass protection, which will give Baltimore a little more stability in that area. The issue for Hill has been fumbles, particularly at the mesh point with Lamar Jackson. If he cleans that up, which he is certainly capable of doing, I think he'll be a player the Ravens can lean on down the stretch.
While having an experienced back such as Melvin Gordon III available to call up to the 53-man roster was a luxury, I don't think he'll take the carries that would've otherwise gone to Mitchell. Most of the workload will likely be split between Edwards and Hill. I do not expect Baltimore to shop for another veteran running back.
