News: 5 days agoHead coach Jesse Minter told reporters that Randall (undisclosed) is "working through things physically," which is why the rookie fifth-rounder did not play in the Ravens' 13-3 preseason win over the Vikings on Saturday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Spin: The nature of Randall's injury is not clear, but the Ravens took the cautious route in holding the Clemson product out of Saturday's preseason contest. Randall's practice participation over the coming week will factor into whether he suits up for the Ravens' preseason finale against the Commanders on Friday. He is competing with Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) for Baltimore's RB3 job behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Randall was selected by the Ravens in the fifth round of April's draft. More specifically, he was handpicked by owner Steve Bisciotti. Randall is the biggest back in this rookie class and he possesses terrific speed (4.50 40-yard dash, 113 speed score), a combination that makes him an interesting developmental flier. A converted wide receiver, Randall had a grand total of four carries during his first three seasons at Clemson prior to posting a 168-814-10 rushing line in 2025. His experience as a receiver suggests he has big upside in that area, as well (he totaled an 84-787-5 receiving line with the Tigers). He has some 2026 insurance appeal, but he'll primarily learn the ropes behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill in 2026, with eyes on lead-back duties upon Henry's departure.
