JUSTICE HILL NEWS

Reverts to minor role Hill had a four-yard reception on one target Tuesday against Dallas.

Impact Baltimore getting both J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram back in the mix had a direct impact on Hill's playing time as he saw just six offensive snaps. The role Hill saw against the Cowboys was in line with how he has been used for every game outside of the Pittsburgh matchup in Week 12, which was his only outing with double-digit snaps on offense. Hill will remain an ancillary part of the Ravens' ground game as long as Dobbins, Ingram, and Gus Edwards are healthy and available.

Likely reverting to reserve role Hill is active alongside running backs J.K. Dobbins, Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards for Tuesday's game versus Dallas.

Impact Hill saw double-digit offensive snaps for the first time in 2020 last week against Pittsburgh and had 11 touches for 40 yards, but he should return to a minor offensive role with Ingram and Dobbins clear from COVID-19. Hill had only one touch in six games during 2020 before working as the change-of-pace option behind Edwards in Week 12.

Solid in extended opportunity Hill rushed nine times for 35 yards and secured both targets for five yards in the Ravens' 19-14 loss to the Steelers on Wednesday.

Impact The third-year back looked good on a couple of his runs, most notably on a game-long 19-yarder. Hill hadn't logged a carry all season before Wednesday, so he certainly had fresh legs and was able to use them to carve out a bit more success on the ground than backfield mate Gus Edwards. Despite showing some encouraging signs, the reality is Hill seems destined to revert back to anonymity if Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins are activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Tuesday night's Week 13 battle versus the Cowboys.

Change-of-pace role awaits Hill is expected to serve as the top backup to Gus Edwards in Thursday's game against the Steelers after fellow running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram were placed on the reserv...

Impact Hill, a 2019 fourth-round pick, has dressed for only six of the Ravens' 10 games this season, playing 108 of his 125 total snaps on special teams. This week's game will mark the first time this season the Ravens won't have two of their top three backs available, so Hill should be thrust into an offensive role out of necessity. Edwards and quarterback Lamar Jackson will most likely dominate the carries out of the backfield, but Edwards' limitations as a pass catcher could clear the way for Hill to step in as the Ravens' primary third-down back.

Sinking Ravens have Ingram, Dobbins test positive for COVID

The Baltimore Ravens experienced another outbreak of COVID-19 providing an additional burden for a team that’s trending downward following a 5-1 start

NOVEMBER 23, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Role exclusive to special teams Hill collected three tackles on 17 special-teams snaps, registering zero carries or targets on three offensive plays during Sunday's 24-10 win against the Colts.

Impact With rookie second-round draft choice J.K. Dobbins now a member of Baltimore's backfield, Hill has gone without a rush attempt in 2020 after fielding 58 during his debut NFL season out of Oklahoma State last year. After dealing with a thigh injury throughout much of September, Hill has made game appearances in Weeks 4, 6, 8 and 9 while registering five total tackles on special teams. His offensive role is likely to remain obsolete, barring an injury ahead of him on the RB depth chart.

NOVEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first offensive work of 2020 Hill garnered two offensive snaps, though he did not register a carry during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Hill dealt with a September thigh injury that held him out early in the season, but since his Week 4 debut, the 22-year-old has played a nearly exclusive special-teams role. 57 of Hill's 59 total snaps have come in that department, while he's yet to garner a carry amongst Baltimore's talented RB stable. Week 8 did mark the first time in 2020 that Hill registered a snap on the offensive side, and perhaps a limited role will continue in the near future for him as Mark Ingram nurses a high-ankle injury.

49ers RB Mostert returns to action; Samuel also active

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert is returning to action Sunday against the Miami Dolphins after missing two games with a knee injury

OCTOBER 11, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ready for season debut Hill (thigh) is on the active roster for the Week 4 matchup against the Washington Football Team.

Impact Hill hasn't taken the field all season after dealing with a thigh injury for the first two weeks and ending up as a healthy scratch in Week 3. That changes Sunday against the Washington Football Team, though it's admittedly unclear what, if any, role the second-year back might have on the offense (or if he'll be limited to special teams). Hill still presumably will have to work behind Mark Ingram, J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards in terms of the pecking order for carries.

Chiefs DE Alex Okafor inactive for KC against Ravens

Chiefs injured defensive end Alex Okafor has been placed on the inactive list for Monday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens

SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Healthy scratch Monday Hill (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact A thigh injury kept Hill out of the first two games this season, but he's healthy and will still sit out. Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins are expected to lead the backfield while Gus Edwards rotates in.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Practicing fully Hill (thigh) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact Hill is healthy enough to suit up Monday night against the Chiefs, but he's behind Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins in the Ravens' backfield pecking order and thus is off the fantasy radar as long as that context doesn't change.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Surprise scratch Sunday Hill (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Texans.

Impact This is surprising news, especially considering Hill logged full practice time Friday. The second-year pro is a bit buried on the running back depth chart, as he appears to be the fourth option. In his stead, look for Devin Duvernay to handle kick return duties in the meantime.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable despite full practice Hill (thigh) practiced fully Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Impact Hill's ability to fully practice Friday means he's more likely to suit up than not. Even if he plays, Hill's likely to have a limited impact as the fourth running back on Baltimore's depth chart, though he should serve as the kick returner on special teams.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Wednesday Hill (thigh) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Hill didn't practice in any capacity last week, so logging a limited session Wednesday marks a step in the right direction. If he's able to get healthy in time to face the Texans on Sunday, Hill stands to play a depth role in Baltimore's crowded backfield.

Unavailable for Week 1 Hill (thigh) is ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Browns, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hill's next chance to take the field will come Week 2 against the Texans. With Chris Moore (finger) also ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Browns, Devin Duvernay and James Proche look like the top candidates to handle kick return duties for the Ravens.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out practice Hill (thigh) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact With two absences from practice to begin the week, Hill will likely need to turn in at least a limited showing in Friday's session to garner a questionable designation heading into Sunday's season opener versus the Browns. As a rookie last season, Hill logged 58 carries as the team's No. 3 running back behind Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards, but the Oklahoma State product may have fallen to fourth on the depth chart this season after the Ravens selected another back (J.K. Dobbins) in the second round of April's draft.

Misses practice with thigh injury Hill (thigh) did not practice Wednesday, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Hill finds his name on Baltimore's first injury report of the season. The change-of-pace back will hope to heal up in time for Sunday's season opener against the Browns.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Back to work Monday Hill was back at practice Monday after dealing with a soft-tissue injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hill was sidelined for about a week while tending to the injury, the nature of which hadn't been clarified. Now healthy, Hill is expected to be the featured kick returner in 2020 while also being deployed in a depth role at running back.
