Ravens running back Justice Hill has been ruled out with a concussion for the remainder of Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In the second quarter, Hill bounced a 25-yard run to the left before being brought down by Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee. Kazee upended Hill, who appeared to land on his head and right shoulder. He was briefly attended to by trainers along the sideline before standing up under his own power and being taken back to the locker room. Hill’s concussion was diagnosed minutes later.
The veteran backup had logged 30 yards on two carries to that point. Hill missed practice Wednesday of this week for the birth of his child. He returned a day later.
Because of the short turnaround on the Ravens’ schedule, playing the Houston Texans on Wednesday, he will likely be unavailable in Week 17. Third-string running back Rasheen Ali was active for Saturday’s game, but second-year back Keaton Mitchell was not.
