Rookie Javorius Allen May Start At Running Back

What would Ravens fourth-round rookie running back Javorius Allen have said at the beginning of the season if he were told he’d be the team’s starter in Week 6?

“I probably would have laughed,” Allen said Thursday.

Ravens Pro Bowl running back Justin Forsett didn’t practice for the second straight day Thursday, seemingly pushing the door open wider for Allen to have a busy Sunday in San Francisco.

With Lorenzo Taliaferro placed on injured reserve this week because of a foot injury, Allen is the only other running back on the roster who has a regular-season carry in his career.
