Mark Ingram went down with an ankle injury during the Baltimore Ravens' Week 6 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Ravens' veteran running back left the game against the Eagles in the first half and did not return. Fortunately, Baltimore still managed to pull off the win, 30-28.

Despite the fact that Ingram did not return, it seems like the Ravens aren't too concerned with his injury.

“I have not talked to the trainer about those guys since during the game,” head coach John Harbaugh said of the team's injury woes, via the team’s website. “I don’t think those are any long-term injuries but we’ll find out.”

Aside from Ingram, the team is also dealing with injuries to Anthony Averett (shoulder) and Tyre Phillips (hand).

For what it's worth, Mark Ingram was having a bit of a down year going into Week 6.

After a 1,000-yard season with the Ravens in 2019, Ingram has slowed down considerably this year with only 205 yards in five games. This, however, does not mean that the loss of Ingram won't be felt by the Baltimore-based team. The identity of the squad lies within the running game, and that starts with Ingram.

Ingram's power running style forces opposing linebackers to load the box, which opens up the passing game for Lamar Jackson. This is why the Ravens are so effective in play-action and why they target their tight ends so often. When linebackers are constantly expecting run, they are slower to react to play-action. The split-second difference gets Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle open down the middle of the field.

Put simply, Ingram's impact on the game goes far beyond just rushing stats.

The Ravens drafted Ohio State running back JK Dobbins in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft and will likely feature him as the premier guy in that backfield if Ingram does end up missing any time.
