Forsett actually comes into the game as Baltimore’s leading rusher through two games with 126 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Pierce has 113 yards on 28 attempts.
The Ravens, perhaps anticipating Pierce’s absence, signed rookie Fitzgerald Toussaint from the practice squad on Saturday.
Rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro is expected to back up Forsett Sunday.

Cameron was a Pro Bowler last season with 80 receptions and 917 yards with seven touchdowns. He has two catches and 47 yards this season and was inactive last week against the New Orleans Saints.
