A thigh injury to Bernard Pierce has given Ravens rookie tailback Lorenzo Taliaferro an extended chance at playing time in Sunday’s game at Cleveland.
And Taliaferro has made the most of that opportunity.
A fourth-round pick from Coastal Carolina, Taliaferro rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in the first three quarters against the Browns, who hold a 21-17 fourth quarter lead.
When Pierce returns, the Ravens will have to decide how to parcel out carries between Pierce, Taliaferro and Justin Forsett, the latter of whom contributes well in the passing game. But Taliaferro has certainly made a case to be in the mix.
