Keaton Mitchell Injury Update
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh announced last week that running back Keaton Mitchell will continue to stay on injured reserve as he works his way back from the torn ACL he suffered late last season.
Although there is no specific timeline for his return, Harbaugh remains hopeful that Mitchell could be activated at some point during the season.
Mitchell had shown promise before his injury and was expected to be part of the Ravens' future plans. However, ACL injuries can require a lengthy recovery period, so the team is being cautious in bringing him back to avoid setbacks.
Fantasy owners will have to continue to monitor his IR status or any other injury news relevant to him.

Keaton Mitchell Fantasy Football Outlook
It's tough to predict Mitchell's fantasy outlook for the remainder of the season since there is no estimated time table for him to return. However, when he does come back to the team, he could have some value in the receiving game for PPR leagues.
In the meantime, Justice Hill will maintain the RB2 role behind Derrick Henry in the Ravens’ backfield rotation, providing support in both rushing and passing situations.
Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Mitchell’s progress, as he could provide a spark to the offense upon his return, though Hill and Henry will continue to dominate touches for now.
