Another reason why the Ravens are confident about their upcoming running attack is that their five-time Pro Bowl Fullback is returning from a nagging injury to his calf. The Ravens are ranked No. After Sunday’s win, the Ravens ranked 8th in the NFL for rushing. However, they led the league at that time and are confident of repeating this feat.

Ricard had not missed a single game since 2021. Sitting out the first six was a torture for him, especially because Baltimore went 1-5 without his presence. Ricard initially suffered the injury in training camp. It took him a few more weeks to recover after he aggravated his calf.

Ricard replied, “I am the kind of guy who, if healthy and ready to go, will go.” “But the process was taking longer than expected.”

It was frustrating and unfortunate. It was one of those things that I just couldn’t push through. “I’ve been injured so many times in my life, from high school to college and even the NFL. If I had tried to push it through when it was healing I might have reinjured it and my season could’ve ended.”
