Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill was forced to leave the team’s Week 16 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a concussion, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Hill had been performing well up to that point, contributing as Baltimore’s RB2 and rushing for 30 yards on just two carries. However, his impressive performance was cut short after a hard hit by a Steelers defender, which caused Hill to land directly on his head.
The hit occurred during a crucial moment in the game, leaving Hill briefly dazed on the field. Despite the severity of the impact, Hill was able to walk off the field under his own power, which was a positive sign for both him and the Ravens’ medical staff. His ability to leave the field without assistance offered hope that the injury might not be as severe as initially feared.
Hill’s injury leaves a significant gap in the Ravens’ backfield, as he has been an important part of the team’s rushing attack throughout the season. While the injury is concerning, the Ravens will likely rely on their other running backs to step up in Hill’s absence, including star running back J.K. Dobbins. The team will also monitor Hill’s condition closely as they await further updates on his status for the remainder of the game and moving forward.

The Ravens’ medical staff will likely follow the league’s concussion protocol to ensure Hill’s health and safety before allowing him to return to the field. Concussions are always a serious concern in the NFL, and the team will prioritize Hill’s long-term well-being over immediate game participation.
As the Ravens continue their playoff push, Hill’s absence could impact their offensive strategy, but the team will have to adjust accordingly. With crucial games ahead, the Ravens will need all hands on deck to maintain their momentum and secure a spot in the postseason.
