Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell to start season on PUP list

Baltimore Ravens second year running back Keaton Mitchell will start the season out on the PUP list, meaning he’ll mist the first four games

The Baltimore Ravens’ most explosive player will be absent for the first month of the 2024 regular season.

Adam Schefter reports that second-year running back Keaton Mitchell will start the season on the PUP list, meaning he’ll miss the first four games.

Mitchell suffered a torn ACL in a 23-7 win over the Jaguars in Week 15 last season.

In 2023, the undrafted rookie outplayed Melvin Gordon in the preseason and was the most productive running back on the roster by midseason.

Mitchell was one of the highest-graded players on offense and finished his rookie year with 47 attempts, 396 yards, and two touchdowns in eight appearances with two starts.

Ravens place RB Keaton Mitchell on the PUP list to begin training camp

The Baltimore Ravens have placed second year running back Keaton Mitchell on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin 2024 training camp

Keaton Mitchell will make his 2024 debut at some point this fall, but he won’t be available to participate at the start of training camp on July 21.

Mitchell has spent the off-season and summer rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered in the Ravens 23-7 win over the Jaguars last December.

NFL media’s Ian Rapoport reports that Mitchell is at the Under Armour Performance Center for the start of training camp, but he’ll start on the PUP list.

The Ravens’ official Twitter account confirmed the news moments ago.

Mitchell had nine carries for 73 yards (8.1 YPC) and two catches for 15 yards before exiting against Jacksonville. At that point last season, he was the most explosive running back on the roster.

Mitchell finished his rookie season with 47 carries for 396 yards and two touchdowns, and he is looking at an October or November return at the earliest.
