Report: Hill Expected To Be Out This Week; Beckham Sits Wednesday
Following up on this week's Team Notes. ... The Ravens may be without running back Justice Hill this week, but he is not expected to miss much time.
Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Hill suffered a toe injury and it may keep him out of the team's Week 3 matchup with the Colts.
But he should be able to return sooner than later.
Head coach John Harbaugh was asked about Hill during his Wednesday press conference and deferred all questions about that subject to the injury report.
Hill has taken 19 carries for 50 yards with two touchdowns in Baltimore's first two games. He has also caught three passes for 12 yards.
Gus Edwards and Melvin Gordon are on Baltimore's 53-man roster at running back and the Ravens brought back Kenyan Drake earlier on Wednesday, signing him to the team's practice squad.
The Ravens have been looking for depth at running back with J.K. Dobbins out for the season with a torn Achilles.
The club had Drake, Ronald Jones, and James Robinson in for workouts. ...
In addition to Hill, Odell Beckham Jr. was held out of Wednesday's practice.
Beckham sat out the second half of Sunday's game with an ankle injury.
If Beckham is limited or isn't ready to go this weekend, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley believes Rashod Bateman would stand to benefit.
With Beckham not playing in the second half Sunday, Bateman was on the field for 22 of the Ravens' 28 offensive snaps. He also ran eight routes after halftime, which were the most by any Baltimore wide receiver.
The only problem was that participation didn't result in productivity.
Bateman wasn't targeted in the second half.
Still, Hensley believes it wouldn't be surprising to see Bateman become more involved this week, especially with defenses shifting their attention toward rookie Zay Flowers. Bateman showed a strong connection with Lamar Jackson at the start of last season before suffering a foot injury.
