A source says Ravens RB Kade Mitchell tore his ACL all the way through.
A source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on Monday that Baltimore Ravens defensive back Keaton Mitchell tore the ACL in his left knee on Sunday night.
The source tells Fowler that they are hopeful that Mitchell will fully heal. During his Monday press conference, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Mitchell had torn a muscle but wouldn’t say what kind of injury it was.
He said, “It’s a long-term knee thing.” “There wasn’t any damage to the cartilage or anything like that, which is good news.”
He would go to work and make it a little better. Sure, he’ll be here with the team every day and do what he can to get back.
The Baltimore Ravens’ worst fear came true on Monday, after their 23–7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
An article from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport revealed that on Sunday, star rookie quarterback Keaton Mitchell tore his ACL.
“Keaton Mitchell, one of the league’s bright young talents with breakout ability, has suffered a tear in his ACL, team sources declared after the MRI,” Rapoport reports. “His season is over, yet he should make a full recovery.”
Mitchell quickly became an important player for the Ravens after missing the first five games of the season because of an injury. In just eight games, he ran for 396 yards and two scores.
It was a great game for Mitchell—he ran for 73 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards—until early in the fourth quarter, when he hurt his knee so badly that he had to be helped off the field and carried to the locker room.
Mitchell was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game, and the team expects him to be out for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs as well. Melvin Gordon will be added to the active list to help the Ravens.
Early in the fourth quarter, Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell went down after going 13 yards down the right corner.
He fell badly and grabbed his knee right away as medical staff rushed onto the field. It took two people to carry Mitchell off the field and to the benches.

Mitchell, a rookie who wasn’t picked in the draft, got hurt when back Andrew Wingard tripped him up in the fourth quarter of the Ravens’ 23-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mitchell’s left leg bent awkwardly when it hit the ground.
And now Baltimore’s attack has lost its third key player. Starting running back J.K. Dobbins hurt his Achilles in the first game of the season and will not be able to play again.
Tight end Mark Andrews hurt his ankle in Week 11 and will also miss for the rest of the regular season.
The Ravens will now be without Mitchell, who started on Sunday and ran nine times for 73 yards, an average of 8.1 yards per carry.
Mitchell has run for 47 times this season, gaining 396 yards (8.4 yards per carry) and scoring two scores.
The NFL’s best running game will depend on Gus Edwards and Justice Hill now that Mitchell is out.
Harbaugh says that Baltimore will bring up two-time Pro Bowl running back Melvin Gordon via the practice squad to take Mitchell’s spot on the 53-man roster.
If you didn’t get picked in the draft, the Ravens got a great player in Keaton Mitchell. The former ECU star will now look ahead to 2024 after tearing his ACL in their 23-7 win over the Jaguars.
Starting running back J.K. Dobbins hurt his Achilles in the first game of the season and will not be able to play again.
Firm end Mark Andrews hurt his ankle in Week 11 and will also miss at least the rest of the regular season.
“He hurt his knee a long time ago,” head coach John Harbaugh said at a press meeting on Monday.
It was nice that there wasn’t any damage to the cartilage or anything like that. That makes it a little better. He’s going to work. He’ll be there with the team every day, doing what he can to get back.
