Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Keaton Mitchell busted two big plays in Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Browns but touched the ball four times and played only four offensive snaps in the second half.
Heading into Thursday night’s showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team erred in getting Mitchell on the field more and plans to correct the mistake moving forward.
“As you look back on it, [it’s] part of the process of getting a young guy in there and working him into the game plan as part of the process as we go. I don’t think we felt probably as an offensive coaching staff we were going to throw the whole game plan on him,” Harbaugh told reporters on Monday, via the team’s official website. “Those are the plays that get called from the groupings that were called in the second half. Looking back on it, would we have wanted him out there more? Yes. I think that’ll factor into this game plan.”

Jacobs, Gibbs, Javonte, achane, Mitchell, kyren
Too bad my top 3 WR all lost their QBs this year
