Baltimore Ravens running back Chris Collier received the most work in the backfield again on Saturday, but couldn't turn it into much. The rookie out of Lock Haven University turned 13 carries into 42 yards and was only targeted once but didn't catch it. Now that the preseason has concluded, Collier finished with a total of 82 yards on 28 carries and two catches for 22 yards. He could only muster a 2.8 yards per carry average while the run game failed to do much throughout the preseason. Collier may still make the team at the end of the depth chart, but it seems like more than a long shot to see him on the field for anything other than special teams this season.
Chris Collier Leads Ravens Backfield In Preseason Action
Baltimore Ravens running back Chris Collier received the most touches out of the backfield in the team's second preseason game on Saturday afternoon. The rookie back out of Lock Haven University finished the game with 12 carries for 29 yards and two catches for 22 yards on two targets. The ground game didn't see much work in this contest as the three quarterbacks combined to miss only four total throws, but Collier was a bit more efficient on the ground than Owen Wright who was the leading back in the first preseason game. The most efficient of the night was John Kelly Jr., but Collier seemed to be the one getting the bigger tryout. Either way, the running back depth chart is crowded with Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and Rasheen Ali, so this competition seems to be more for the end of the bench.
