Ravens' Justice Hill: Season-high rushing yardage total
Rotowire
Hill rushed nine times for 85 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for seven yards in the Ravens' 33-10 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday night.
Hill provided the sole offensive highlight of the night for the moribund, Joe Fagnano-led offense, making one cut after getting the handoff from the rookie quarterback halfway through the fourth quarter and bursting through the defense up the right side of the field for a 65-yard touchdown run. Hill's yardage total was both a team- and season-high figure for the veteran change-of-pace back, who should benefit from the pending trade acquisition of Jacoby Brissett from the Cardinals whenever the veteran signal-caller is able to take the reins of the offense.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Churns out full practice
Rotowire
Hill (groin) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
After the Ravens estimated him as a limited practice participant Monday on their initial Week 9 injury report, Hill took every rep Tuesday to clear up any concern about his availability heading into Thursday's game against the Jaguars. Hill should serve in his familiar role as the Ravens' top passing-down back in Week 9, with Derrick Henry continuing to lead the way on the ground.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Estimated as limited Monday
Rotowire
Hill (groin) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's practice report.
It's a new injury for Hill, as it's the first time this season he's been listed on the injury report. In Sunday's loss to the Bills, Hill rushed three times for 15 yards and caught posted season-highs in catches (four) and targets (eight) for 20 receiving yards.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Leads team in catches in loss
Rotowire
Hill rushed three times for 15 yards while catching four of eight targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bills.
Hill garnered a team-high eight targets as Baltimore saw the departure of both starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) in the first half. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards while throwing an interception in the loss, and he may be asked to start Thursday's contest against the Jaguars. Hill has now turned 24 carries into 155 yards while reeling in 17 of 25 targets for 104 yards over eight games to open the 2026 campaign.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Gets six touches in loss
Rotowire
Hill took three carries for seven yards and caught three of four targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 35-13 loss versus the Bengals.
Baltimore led for most of the game Sunday before falling behind late in the third quarter, and from that point on, the game script favored Hill. Even still, his snap count at running back in Week 7 (29) lagged behind that of starter Derrick Henry (33). When Lamar Jackson (ankle) returns to action, it should give a boost to the entire Ravens offense.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Three short catches in Week 6 loss
Rotowire
Hill caught all three of his targets for nine yards during the Ravens' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Hill was on the field for 24 of the Ravens' 57 offensive snaps (42.1 percent), which wasn't far behind lead back Derrick Henry (33). That was more due to game script, as the Ravens' offense struggled to move the ball down the field against a tough Browns defense. The offensive outlook of Hill and the rest of Baltimore's skill position players would improve dramatically if Lamar Jackson (ankle) is cleared to play in Week 7 against the Bengals on Oct. 25.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Breaks off long run in OT win
Rotowire
Hill turned four carries into 73 yards and caught two of four targets for five yards during the Ravens' 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Hill was responsible for each of the Ravens' two longest offensive plays of the game. He turned his first carry into 21 yards early in the first quarter before breaking away for a 47-yard scamper midway through the third, which led to an 18-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Huntley to Derrick Henry two plays later. Hill's 73 rushing yards were his most in a game since Week 4 against the Chiefs (76), although he's firmly entrenched as the Ravens' change-of-pace RB2 behind Henry. The Ravens will stay on the road for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 18.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Three touches in Week 4 win
Rotowire
Hill rushed one time for three yards in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans. He added two catches for 22 yards on three targets.
Hill continues to handle change-of-pace and passing-down work behind Derrick Henry out of the Baltimore backfield. Across four games, Hill has accumulated 60 rushing yards on 14 carries and five catches for 44 yards on six targets. Hill's role would likely only expand in the event the Ravens are chasing points on the scoreboard or if Henry suffers an injury.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Two carries and two targets in loss
Rotowire
Hill rushed twice for six yards and caught two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints.
Hill was on the field for 27 of the Ravens' 58 offensive snaps. The running back saw usage as both runner and receiver, providing a fast contrast to Derrick Henry's bulk. It appears Hill may be on track for more consistent complementary opportunities than last season behind Derrick Henry in Baltimore's new offense.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Sees seven touches in Week 1 victory
Rotowire
Hill turned six carries into 18 yards and added a 10-yard catch during the Ravens' 41-23 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Hill saw an uptick in usage in the fourth quarter with the Ravens firmly in control of the game. He played 31 of 68 offensive snaps, which wasn't that far behind bell cow Derrick Henry's 37 snaps, though Hill is firmly entrenched as the Ravens' RB2, with Rasheen Ali being the distant third option. Hill will continue to serve as the change-of-pace back for the Ravens heading into Week 2 against the Saints on Sept. 20.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Backing up Henry in 2026
Rotowire
Hill is in line to be the No.2 running back on the Ravens' depth chart to open the 2026 season.
The veteran is in the final year of his contract after an injury-shortened 2025 that limited him to 10 regular-season games. Hill is also playing under a new coaching staff and an offensive coordinator, so it will be interesting to see whether his role evolves or other options emerge as Derrick Henry's backup. Hill has been healthy for the preseason and hasn't appeared in either preseason game, which is seemingly a good sign for his standing on the depth chart.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Taking part in OTAs
Rotowire
Hill (neck) is participating in OTAs this week.
Hill sustained a neck injury in practice leading up to Week 13 last season and spent the remainder of the 2025 campaign on injured reserve. He was inching closer to a return toward the end of last season, so it's fair to assume he's back to 100 percent. Hill is expected to once again serve as the pass-catching specialist out of the backfield behind Derrick Henry in 2026.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Gets 39 touches before IR stint
Rotowire
Hill (neck) rushed 18 times for 93 yards and two touchdowns while catching 21 of 27 targets for 169 yards and one touchdown across 10 appearances in 2025. He also had seven kickoff returns for 188 yards.
Hill held off Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali for the top change-of-pace role behind Derrick Henry while healthy but didn't play after Week 12 due to a neck injury. Henry, Hill and Ali are all under contract for 2026, and Mitchell is set to be a restricted free agent who could be retained with a qualifying offer. Baltimore will be bringing in a new coaching staff, but Hill's role seems unlikely to change much, assuming he makes a full recovery.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Placed on IR
Rotowire
The Ravens placed Hill (neck) on injured reserve Thursday.
Hill will be forced to miss at least Baltimore's next four games due to a neck injury he appears to have sustained during practice. He wasn't listed on Monday's injury report, but then appeared as a non-participant Tuesday and Wednesday. Beginning Thursday versus the Bengals, and until at least Dec. 27 versus the Packers in Week 17, both Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali will be in position to handle increased complementary roles behind Derrick Henry.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Ruled out to face Bengals
Rotowire
Hill (neck) is ruled out for Thursday's contest against Cincinnati.
Hill was not listed on Monday's injury report, but he's since missed back-to-back practices due to a neck issue and will be forced to remain sidelined Week 13. In his stead, Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali will stand to handle increased backfield roles behind Derrick Henry on Thanksgiving Day, a divisional matchup that could make for a high-scoring affair with quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) expected to return to the starting lineup for the Bengals.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Ready to return
Rotowire
Hill (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
With Hill back in action, Keaton Mitchell doesn't figure to get much playing time in passing situations this Sunday against the Jets. Both should have roles off the bench behind lead back Derrick Henry.

Ravens' Justice Hill: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Hill missed Wednesday's practice with a toe injury.
Fellow running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) was a limited participant, and he'd likely take on a larger role if Hill were to miss Sunday's matchup with Cleveland. Mitchell's emergence as a change-of-pace back in recent weeks has sapped some of Hill's fantasy value, though Hill still dominates snaps in clear passing situations (and scored a TD on his lone carry last week).

Ravens' Justice Hill: Snap count ticks down Thursday
Rotowire
Hill had a two-yard carry and added two receptions for 13 yards in Thursday's win over the Dolphins.
Hill's 11 snaps marked a season low as Baltimore deployed Keaton Mitchell for roughly the same number of plays as the veteran. Lamar Jackson targeted Hill twice, and he managed to bring both in for receptions. Through eight games, Hill has just one game with more than 20 rushing yards, and his pass-catching has tapered off since the bye with just two combined targets in his last two games. Baltimore heads to Minnesota in Week 10.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Usage drops off in win
Rotowire
Hill had one carry for two yards and drew zero targets on 19 snaps in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Bears.
Baltimore leaned on Derrick Henry as its primary running back Sunday, and even when Hill was on the field, he wasn't a featured part of the offense. Hill's usage is volatile week to week and depends on game scripts where Baltimore needs to utilize his blitz pickup and pass-catching skills. Another looming threat to Hill's usage was the reintroduction of Keaton Mitchell to the backfield. Mitchell played just seven snaps but had a strong usage rate with four carries for 43 yards. Hill's role won't be deleted from the offense because he offers elements that Henry and Mitchell don't, but his snap counts could take a hit going forward if Mitchell continues to shine.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Week 8 Adds (RB Preview)
Rotowire
Speaking of the Ravens, scored 9.4 or more points in two of his last three games and has at least three catches in four of his past five games. This looks more like a Derrick Henry game, or maybe a Lamar Jackson game, but Hill could see eight to 10 touches in a game that has an over/under of 50.5.
