The Baltimore Ravens already have the thunder at running back, and Justice Hill is also solid in his role, but the lightning is set to hit the lineup just in time for a huge AFC North game against the Bengals.
After waiving Yannick Ngakoue, Baltimore is making Keaton Mitchell active for his first game action since tearing his ACL last January.
Barring any setbacks, Mitchell will make his regular-season debut Jeremy Fowler report.

Mitchell suffered a torn ACL in a 23-7 win over the Jaguars in Week 15 last season.
The undrafted rookie outplayed Melvin Gordon in the preseason last summer and was the most productive running back on the roster by the end of the season.
Mitchell was one of the highest-graded players on offense and finished his rookie year with 47 attempts, 396 yards, and two touchdowns in eight appearances with two starts.
