Le'Veon Bell is aware that the Baltimore Ravens have been hit with the injury bug. They have lost three running backs to injury. J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill have all suffered season-ending injuries.

Le'Veon Bell was recently signed to the Ravens practice squad, and he will now have a shot to prove himself.

Bell was a top running back a few seasons ago but has struggled since leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers. He now has his last chance to salvage his career, but he will be competing with recently signed Devonta Freeman. Bell will get his first opportunity for the Ravens against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football.

The Ravens have been a prolific offense over the past few seasons, with a lot of the credit going towards their run game. Dual-threat quarterback Lamar Jackson is a big reason for that, but he has always had a solid running back to pair with. Bell will get plenty of opportunities to show that he has plenty left in the tank. The Ravens' offensive firepower should help Bell transition into the offseason well.

Last season, Bell struggled and had 82 carries for 328 yards and 2 touchdowns. While he didn't get the carries he was accustomed to, he still didn't play well. He spent most of his season with the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was not the feature back. Bell now has a chance to revitalize his career and become a number one running back once again.

Bell's outlook with the Ravens

The Ravens were heading into a season as a contender, but after numerous injuries, that could change. Bell will be thrust into the number one or two back role, depending on the battle against Freeman. He will likely not know the entire playbook, which could lead to some struggles early on.

Bell will have to adjust on the fly as he learns the Ravens offensive scheme. In his prime, Bell was a versatile back that could do it all. He was successful in both the run and passing game, making him difficult for defenses to contain. In his last season with the Steelers, Bell rushed for 1,291 yards along with 9 rushing touchdowns. He also had 655 receiving yards along with 2 receiving touchdowns.

Bell will not likely reach that level of play, but he could put up solid numbers for the Ravens. The key to Bell playing at a great level is his chemistry with Jackson. Jackson is an all-world talent, and the Ravens run a ton of option plays. If Bell and Jackson establish chemistry early on, that will help Bell succeed in the offense. Last season, Jackson for 1,005 yards and 7 touchdowns. While Jackson is a quarterback, he is the most integral part of the Ravens run game.

Bell won't have to be the star runner of the offense, but rather a great compliment to Jackson. He could also be essential in the Ravens' passing game, as he has proven the ability to be a great receiving back. Look for Bell to take advantage of this opportunity, and be a welcomed addition to the Ravens offense.

How will the Baltimore offense be affected?

It's no secret that injuries to a team's top three running backs are detrimental. However, the Ravens have found replacements in Le'Veon Bell and Freeman that could pay major dividends. They both aren't the players they used to be, but both of their careers could be salvaged with the Ravens. Look for Bell to have a bounce-back campaign and have a big impact on the Ravens.
