Ravens
HC John Harbaugh told reporters that he expects to go with whoever has the hot hand at running back this year.
“You go with guys that are making plays at those positions,” Harbaugh said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN. “probably more so at running back than any position, when you have a number of guys kind of in the same spot.”
As of now, the Ravens have Justin Forsett, Bernard Pierce and Lorenzo Taliaferro as their top-three backs. Hensley mentions that Forsett is expected to get the start on Thursday, but Pierce remains in the Ravens’ plans.
