The Ravens backfield will finally have all its firepower, as running back Keaton Mitchell will reportedly be moved to the 53-man roster ahead of Thursday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Mitchell averaged a whopping 8.4 yards per carry as an undrafted rookie last season, adding another major speed element to Baltimore's offense. His season ended with a major knee injury on Dec. 17, and he's been working his way back since.
With Mitchell joining NFL leading rusher Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson, and Justice Hill, the Ravens' league-leading rushing attack, which is averaging 191.9 yards per game, is even more dangerous.
Meanwhile, the Bengals' run defense ranks 18th in the league, allowing 130.4 rushing yards per game.
To make room for Mitchell on the 53-man roster, the Ravens have reportedly released outside linebacker Yannick Ngakoue, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Ngakoue has 1.5 sacks and five tackles in five games so far.
Ngakoue's release would likely mean the return of David Ojabo to the gameday roster after he was a healthy scratch the past two weeks.
