It was reported by NFL insider for NFL Network, Ian Rapoport, that Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram suffered a calf strain and a timetable for a return has not yet been solidified.
#Ravens RB Mark Ingram suffered a calf strain, source said after his MRI. The team will be cautious with the strain (or partial tear), but the hope is Ingram is back on the field for the playoffs based on the severity of the injury.

As Rapoport mentioned, the team will hopefully have the former Alabama running back return, at full strength, in time for the playoffs.
With one week remaining in the 2019 NFL regular season, losing Ingram on the field won’t be such a big hit for the Ravens, as they are benching Lamar Jackson in order to keep him healthy for the playoffs.
Ingram has been a vital key to the teams success.
In the 2019 regular season he has taken 202 carries for 1,018 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns.
The Ravens have the AFC North Division clinched for most of December and will cruise into the playoffs as the team to beat.
As a crucial piece to Baltimore’s offense, it’s safe to say everyone is hoping he has a speedy recovery and is able to help the team in the playoffs on the road to Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
