Is Justice Hill playing today vs. Steelers? Exploring Texans RB's status for Wild Card Weekend

Barring any late injury or setback, Justice Hill is expected to play against the Steelers, after clearing the NFL's concussion protocols. He is the Ravens' RB2 behind Derrick Henry and could get a few reps in the wild-card game.

Hill was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday. He was upgraded to a full participant on Wednesday and logged another full practice on Thursday. All signs point toward Hill being available for Saturday's game.

After Thursday's session, Hill said that he was ready to play against the Steelers.

"Just ready to get back out there and play," Hill said to reporters. "It's football, like riding a bike. Make plays, do what you always do."

Hill suffered a concussion in Baltimore's 34-17 win over the Steelers in Week 16. He was ruled out of the Ravens' last two remaining regular season games.

Since Hill is returning from his injury, he might have an added motivation to perform well against Pittsburgh in the rematch on Saturday, which is a postseason eliminator.

How has Ravens RB Justice Hill performed this season?

Justice Hill has largely played second fiddle to Derrick Henry this season, but he has still contributed to Baltimore's success.

In 15 regular season games, Hill recorded 228 yards and a touchdown on 47 carries. He also posted 383 yards and three TDs on 42 receptions. The Ravens will want Hill to continue chipping in with important plays when they host the Steelers on Saturday.
