JUSTICE HILL NEWS

Rapid Fire With Justice Hill Ravens RB Justice Hill talks about his dream vacation, fatherhood, what other position he'd play, hidden talent and more.

Staying in Baltimore Hill agreed Wednesday to re-sign with Baltimore on a two-year, $4.5 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The 2019 fourth-round pick has played nearly as many snaps on special teams (501) as offense (524) in the NFL, though he did have a career-high 262 rushing yards last season. Hill profiles as Baltimore's No. 3 back heading into offseason practices, or perhaps the No. 4 option if the Ravens add a draft pick in the early or middle rounds. J.K. Dobbins is under contract through 2023, and Gus Edwards recently accepted a pay cut to stay with the team.

Posts career-best rushing totals Hill had two receptions for 10 yards in the Ravens' playoff loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact The fourth-year back had his best professional season thus far by setting a new career high in rushing yards (262) and yards per carry (5.3). It was his first year back from an Achilles injury that wiped out his 2021 campaign. Baltimore had to mix and match at running back for much of the season with J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards both battling different injuries and workload restrictions, and Hill performed ably when called upon. Hill and fellow veteran Kenyan Drake will be unrestricted free agents this offseason, but the club could entertain bringing one of them back to serve as the third running back. If Hill does not return to the Ravens, he could still draw some interest from teams on the open market after performing well this season.

Gets expanded role Week 18 Hill carried seven times for 34 yards in Sunday's 27-16 loss to the Bengals.

Impact The seven carries more than doubled Hill's output (three) from the Ravens' previous six games combined. Hill had moved almost exclusively into a full-time special-teams role after J.K. Dobbins returned from injured reserve Week 14, but Hill as well as Kenyan Drake were able to reclaim roles on offense in the regular-season finale while Dobbins was inactive for maintenance purposes. Hill and Drake then finished the afternoon as the Ravens' lone healthy backs, as fill-in starter Gus Edwards exited early with a concussion. Even if Edwards is unable to clear the concussion protocol prior to Sunday's rematch with the Bengals in the wild-card round, neither Hill nor Drake projects to retain the roles they enjoyed Week 18 with Dobbins set to return to the lineup while reclaiming duties as the Ravens' clear lead back. Hill finished the regular season with 49 carries for 262 yards to go with 12 catches for 58 yards over his 15 appearances.

Remains uninvolved in loss Hill rushed once for three yards and caught his lone target for 15 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Browns.

Impact Hill, who received 24 offensive snaps this past weekend in Cleveland, saw the same amount of plays as fellow running back J.K. Dobbins (24) and also out-snapped Gus Edwards (11). The 25-year-old will likely continue splitting backfield reps when Baltimore hosts the Falcons on Saturday.

No offensive touches in win Justice Hill failed to record a single touch in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Steelers.

Impact Hill played just two of the Ravens' 61 offensive snaps as the No. 4 running back behind J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake. The 25-year-old saw most of his playing time on special teams, returning two kickoffs for 39 total yards. With such limited opportunities out of the backfield, Hill should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Ravens visit the Browns in Week 15.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal work Sunday Hill had one carry for two yards and added two receptions for four yards Sunday against the Broncos.

Impact Hill and Gus Edwards played the same number of snaps (17) but Edwards was more involved with six carries. Meanwhile, Kenyan Drake played the most snaps among the Ravens running backs and led the backfield with seven rushes for 29 yards. The offense was facing a tough matchup, but the fact remains that the team mustered just 281 total yards with Tyler Huntley at quarterback. If Jackson is out Sunday against the Steelers, the offense could be hemmed in once again.

Carries once in loss Hill carried the ball once for three yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Hill operated as the Ravens' No. 3 running back with Gus Edwards active for the contest. The 25-year-old played just 14 of Baltimore's 72 offensive snaps, behind Edwards (36) and Kenyan Drake (18). With Edwards running as the clear lead back and J.K. Dobbins (knee) nearing his return from injured reserve, it stands to reason that Hill's role in the running back rotation is bound to take a major hit going forward. The veteran should remain off the fantasy radar when the Ravens host the Broncos in Week 13.

Quiet in win Hill rushed seven times for 30 yards and caught all three of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Panthers.

Impact Hill played 41 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps in the contest, while fellow running back Kenyan Drake played 51 percent of snaps. With Gus Edwards (hamstring/knee) sidelined, Hill saw a bump in his usage. However, the 25-year-old will likely see his role diminish when both Edwards and J.K. Dobbins (knee) make there way back on the field. Hill will likely be difficult to trust when the Ravens visit the Jaguars in Week 12.

Baltimore defense key to Ravens' 4-game winning streak

Baltimore’s 13-3 victory over Carolina looked like a throwback to the days when the Ravens could win big with a phenomenal defense and a marginal offense

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pushed aside by Drake Hill had four carries for 11 yards in Monday's win over the Saints and added one catch for eight yards.

Impact Even with Gus Edwards (hamstring) out, Hill's role didn't see an increase in Week 9. Kenyan Drake dominated the backfield work as he played 68 percent of the snaps and converted that into 24 carries for 93 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Hill's role appears tenuous even with J.K. Dobbins on the shelf, and if Edwards is ready to play after the bye, Hill's role could diminish further.

Four carries in TNF win Hill rushed four times for 28 yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 27-22 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Hill looked spry in limited action, but Kenyan Drake was the primary beneficiary of Gus Edwards' departure due to a hamstring injury, as Drake turned seven carries and four targets into 67 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. With J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR, Hill could step into a larger role alongside Drake if Edwards isn't ready to return in Week 9 against the Saints.

Loses fumble in return Hill had five carries for 26 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's win over the Browns.

Impact Hill got back in the fold after missing two games with a hamstring injury. The Ravens also got Gus Edwards back from a knee injury and went with a committee approach as all Hill, Edwards, and Kenyan Drake reached played between 27 and 36 percent of the snaps. Hill had a fumble late in the game that could have proved costly but was otherwise effective on a per-carry basis. The Ravens face the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football in Week 8.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins expected to have knee surgery, out 4-6 weeks

Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is expected to undergo knee surgery, which will keep him off the field for at least the next month.

OCTOBER 21, 2022

Cleared to face Cleveland Hill (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Hill is fully healthy, while fellow running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been ruled out. If Baltimore doesn't activate Gus Edwards (knee) from the reserve/PUP list before Sunday, Hill would be in line for a prominent backfield role alongside Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis.

No limitations in practice Hill (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Hill apparently is ready to return after missing two games, while fellow running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) now appears uncertain for the Ravens' upcoming matchup with Cleveland. The Ravens relied on Kenyan Drake after Dobbins left a Week 6 loss to the Giants, and they could get Gus Edwards (knee) back from the PUP list soon. Prior to suffering his hamstring injury, Hill had emerged ahead of Drake as the No. 2 back behind Dobbins.
