OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Halfway through the preseason, the Baltimore Ravens have yet to make any decisions on how they're handling their crowded running-back group.

Will the Ravens go with a running back by committee? Will they rely on a featured back? Or will they simply go with the hot runner from week to week?

"The next couple of weeks will give us a better idea," offensive coordinator Marc Trestman said.

Justin Forsett remains atop the depth chart because no one has really separated himself yet. None of the Ravens' running backs is averaging more than 4.1 yards per carry.

Forsett managed 11 yards on five carries in one forgettable game. Buck Allen has nearly as many yards receiving (19) as he does rushing (20). Terrance West has scored two touchdowns, but he hasn't broken a run longer than nine yards. And Kenneth Dixon has 47 yards on 15 carries (3.1-yard average) when you remove his 19-yard run.

The end result could be Forsett gets the start, Allen and Dixon become third-down backs, and West turns into the power back in the red zone. But the Ravens are still trying to figure out their plan going forward.

"We’re rolling them in right now, trying to get everybody work," Trestman said. "We tried to run the ball extensively in the first two games and give guys a chance to get some carries early on and get part of the game. That’s kind of been our mode. We've had the opportunity to see these guys run and we want to continue to do that the rest of the way."

The history of Trestman says he's flexible when it comes to running backs.

During the times when Trestman has been the play-caller, he's relied on one back (Charlie Garner in Oakland and Matt Forte in Chicago) and he has been comfortable splitting up the carries (Earnest Byner and Kevin Mack in Cleveland and Michael Pittman and Thomas Jones in Arizona).

This is looking more like the Ravens' situation in 2008, coach John Harbaugh's first season. Le'Ron McClain, Ray Rice and Willis McGahee all took turns getting the ball in what became a successful combination for the Ravens but a frustrating one for fantasy football owners. They totaled 142.9 yards rushing per game collectively, but no one averaged more than 57 yards per game individually.

By the end of the 2016 season, the division of carries could be similar with Forsett, Allen, West and Dixon.
