Terrance West

It remains to be seen if West suits up Monday night against the Texans, but at this stage, his health is not an impediment to taking the field in the contest. Alex Collins, Javorius Allen and Danny Woodhead handled the team's rushing duties in Week 11's shutout win over the Packers and that trio figures to continue to head the team's backfield in Week 12 as well.

West was a full participant in practice all week, but with Alex Collins playing well after taking over the backfield duties, there appears to be little for West to handle on game days.

With West out of Sunday's game, the Ravens' Week 5 rushing duties will fall into the hands of Alex Collins and Javorius Allen.

West was given an original-round tender, which meant any team signing him to an offer sheet would've been required to give Baltimore a third-round pick if the contract wasn't matched. No team was going to give up a third-round pick for the right to hand him a multi-year deal, even in the wake of a 2016 campaign in which he set career-high marks across the board. Already tabbed by head coach John Harbaugh as the No. 1 back on Baltimore's current depth chart, West got a silent vote of confidence when the team opted not to draft any running backs. With Kenneth Dixon suspended the first four games and Danny Woodhead (torn ACL) likely to get most of his playing time in obvious passing situations, West is in line to open the season as Baltimore's unquestioned primary ball carrier. He still has limited long-term upside, as the Ravens presumably hope to eventually have a three-headed backfield, with Dixon potentially usurping West for the lead role.
