Few teams have dealt with the level of bad luck at a single position than the Baltimore Ravens have with running backs over the last two seasons. Reciting the list of injuries just seems cruel at this point, and it makes the team’s pursuit of Derrick Henry – one of the league’s most durable backs – seem perfectly justified.
Henry will lead the 2024 backfield with Justice Hill resuming his change-of-pace/third down role after a quietly excellent 2023 season. The team is hoping Keaton Mitchell can recover from his late-season ACL tear and contribute in 2024, but that’s hardly a guarantee.
