Watch: Ty’Son Williams scores on impressive 20-yard touchdown run

The Baltimore Ravens have a real competition on their hands for the third running back spot on their roster. While at first many thought the role belonged to Justice Hill, but both Ty’Son Williams and Nate McCrary have come on strong and showed that they have plenty of potential.

In the fourth quarter of Baltimore’s preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, Williams broke free for an impressive 20-yard touchdown run where he juked and powered his way to the end zone.

Williams spent last season on the Ravens’ practice squad, and has clearly shown growth as he aims to make the team in his second season. With Hill missing the game against Carolina with an ankle injury, Williams has taken full advantage of an increase in snaps, and could even now be considered the leader for the running back job behind J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards

Ty’Son Williams, James Proche II among standouts against Panthers at Wednesday’s joint practice

Ty’Son Williams, Mark Andrews among standouts against Panthers at Wednesday’s joint practice

Ahead of their Saturday preseason matchup, the Baltimore Ravens began their joint practices with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday. It was good for both teams to add some intensity to their practices while going up against different players instead of their teammates.

During Wednesday’s practice, running back Ty’Son Williams and wide receiver James Proche II were among the standouts who impressed. Proche has put together a great training camp so far, so his success comes as no surprise. Williams has emerged as a true candidate for the third running back spot on the team, which many believed Justice Hill would be this year.

Here are some notes from the first day of the joint practices.

Williams has taken advantage of Justice Hill not being available over the last few days, which is a good sign for his chances of making the final roster. Other standouts besides Williams and Proche included Lamar Jackson, Sammy Watkins (in limited action) Mark Andrews, Justin Madubuike, Marcus Peters and Ar’Darius Washington.
