According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Keaton Mitchell tore his ACL during the Baltimore Ravens’ road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
According to Rapoport, Mitchell had an MRI to find out how serious his knee injury was, and the results showed that the rookie running back had a torn ACL. The former great player for East Carolina “should recover fully.”
During a Monday press conference, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh stated that Mitchell’s knee did not have “cartilage-type damage” according to the MRI.
In the Ravens’ 4th quarter victory over the Jaguars, Mitchell sustained a knee injury. On his 13-yard rush, Jaguars safety Andrew Wingard tripped him up from behind. He was eventually carried to the locker room after requiring assistance to leave the field.
In eight games this season, Mitchell totaled 489 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns overall.
Gus Edwards will still be the focal point of the Ravens’ ground attack, and Melvin Gordon, who was on the practice squad, will be promoted to replace Mitchell for the balance of the season, as head coach Jim Harbaugh announced on Sunday.
