The Ravens are hopeful that the injury isn't going to sideline Rice long and he's not scheduled for a magnetic resonance imaging exam. “We’re confident and optimistic right now,” HC John Harbaugh said. “We’ll have to see how he responds.”
Although the injury initially appeared serious as trainers attended to him on the field, Rice walked off the field under his own power. However, the Pro Bowl runner didn't return. According to Sun staffer Aaron Wilson, Rice wasn't on crutches after the game and wasn't limping badly. With Rice out of the game after rushing for 36 yards on 13 carries and losing one fumble, Bernard Pierce replaced him as the primary tailback and finished with a team-high 57 rushing yards on 19 carries with one touchdown run.
