Ravens send Lorenzo Taliaferro (foot) to injured reserve

The Baltimore Ravens have placed running back Lorenzo Taliaferro on injured reserve with a foot injury, ending his season.

What It Means:

Taliaferro missed the team's Week 5 contest after initially being listed as probable. The team will likely sign a free agent back as starter Justin Forsett is also dealing with an ankle injury, leaving only Buck Allen healthy.

If Forsett is, indeed, out for Week 6, Allen is in an interesting situation. He'll be facing a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks 30th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play. Allen is currently 14th in Rushing NEP per play among the 55 running backs with at least 25 carries. Monitor Forsett's injury status as the week progresses, and act accordingly with Allen.
