Yeah. This was my fear. I also wrote about this in my original write up on DLF articles.

Guys sub 190 never pan out well if used to carry the load.

11 touches a game is not "carrying the load" and this injury wasn't size related.
I am just a guy sharing some thoughts

We see RBs of different sizes and builds get injured every season. But, when RBs who aren't big get injured, the blame immediately shifts to size. I just don't see how anyone could watch that play and think "Well, if they were 5'10, 225 lbs, it doesn't happen." It was a normal leg tackle that ended with an abnormal injury. And it's not like he had a ton of volume to that point anyway.

The size focus tends to be low-hanging fruit these days, even though the league is full of players of different sizes getting injured every week regardless of how much work they get.

For real. Really weird timing to come victory lapping though

Officially a torn ACL per Rapoport.

Tbh, watching it live - he has gotten off lightly here.

Doctor: Your ACL would still be intact if you were bigger. I'm sorry.

Keaton sobs uncontrollably.

Man that stinks, he was somewhat of a fringe guy as it was, and this basically dooms him for next season and then after that what coach is going to give him enough touches for him to be worthwhile in fantasy. I believe he was already taken off the field in passing situations bc of his blocking. Unfortunate all around.

His size may not have caused the ACL injury but you can be sure any coach will look at his size and look at the injury, and rightly or wrongly conflate the two.

Yeah, it seems highly likely that the Ravens bring in RB help next year after another season of heavy injuries at the position.

Derrick Henry may be the top choice since they pursued him at the trade deadline.
