Keaton Mitchell Set To Make Season Debut

The best offense in the NFL just gained another weapon.

On Thursday, the Ravens activated Mitchell off the physically unable to perform list. Mitchell has been a full participant in practice all week and is in line to make his season debut against the Bengals.

Mitchell has been rehabbing his left knee since tearing his ACL in December 2023.

The Ravens waived outside linebacker Yannick Ngakoue to make room for Mitchell.

Mitchell exploded onto the scene in 2023 with his lightning-fast quickness. The undrafted rookie rushed for 396 yards on 47 carries and two touchdowns with a yards-per-carry average of 8.4 yards.

Ravens and Bengals Play Key Game On TNF

There are huge AFC North implications at stake tonight when the Ravens (6-3) host the Bengals (4-5).

The Pittsburgh Steelers currently control the division at 6-2. A win for the Ravens allows them to keep pace with Pittsburgh for the AFC North.

Meanwhile, the Bengals have little room for error at five losses. If they fall to 4-6, it will be an uphill battle to secure a playoff spot.

When these two teams met in early October, they combined for 962 yards of offense and 79 points. Baltimore escaped Cincinnati with a 41-38 overtime win.
