The Facts: HC John Harbaugh said running back Forsett will "absolutely" be part of the team in 2016. But Harbaugh was less definitive when asked if Forsett was going to be the Ravens' featured back. "There's not a better person, there's not a better guy [than Forsett]," Harbaugh said. "He understands everything we're doing inside and out. I love him. But we're going to put the guy out there that is gaining the most yards."
Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley suggests, that sets up a competition between Forsett and Buck Allen, a fourth-round pick from a year ago. After Forsett broke his arm last November, Allen produced the fourth-most total yards (627) of any running back in the final seven games of the season. He did struggle with ball security with two fumbles, and only averaged 3.5 yards per carry over that span. The Ravens are certainly not writing him off, but Forsett is 30, which is when many running backs are in decline, and he's coming off a serious injury. The Ravens expect Forsett to return and be fully recovered when the offseason workouts begin this spring. "His wrist is good," Harbaugh said. "He has one of those injuries that is really predictable." What isn't predictable is how the Ravens' backfield will look when the season begins. According to Hensley, this has the makings of one of the most competitive battles at running back in team history.
