Baltimore Ravens second-year running back Owen Wright was carted off the field on Saturday due to a broken foot during the team’s preseason finale against the Green Bay Packers, a 7-30 loss. The team is already dealing with serious injuries at the position. Wright was brought onto the team in 2023 as an undrafted free agent. He spent most of that season on the practice squad. Wright had carved out a small role as the team’s likely kickoff return and reserve back. Head coach John Harbaugh provided a brief injury update after the game, and more information will come out in the coming days.

The Ravens may give the No. 3 running back job to 2024 fifth-rounder Rasheen Ali, behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. That spot will eventually go to Keaton Mitchell, who’s already on the PUP list after tearing his ACL in Week 14 of last season. There’s no timetable yet for Mitchell’s return.

Lamar Jackson had an injury scare of his own earlier this week, if only for a quick second, when he almost fell off a bicycle when greeting Ravens fans.

The Ravens may be losing ancillary pieces like Owen Wright, but as long as Derrick Henry is healthy, they’re in great shape. The arrival of Henry feels like a marriage made in heaven. Baltimore has been one of the most run-heavy teams for years, which should provide a great opportunity for Henry’s power-rushing game.

Henry has already taken the time to show appreciation for Jackson’s leadership.

“It’s the type of leader he is, and what he commands out of his guys,” Henry said. “The dynamic player he is. I was blown away with some of the throws through camp and OTAs. His arm talent is with the best of them, for sure.”

And since Henry’s arrival, Harbaugh has spoken highly of his new running back.

“I guess the main thing that’s stood out is just what a great guy he is, what a hard worker, what a pro,” Harbaugh said. “He’s so diligent, (he’s in) great shape, and diligent about every single play, everything he does. You can see why he’s been so successful.”
