According to a source, Lamar Jackson has a good chance of playing in the team's wild-card game.
Jackson was hurt in a win over the Broncos in Week 13 and has been out for over a month. He won't be in the lineup for the regular-season finale.
Jackson has missed a lot of time because of the swelling in his knee that has not healed as quickly as the team would have liked.
The team will be hopeful that Jackson can return next week, according to John Harbaugh.
Harbaugh said he could not wait for him to come back. We'll be hopeful next week that Jackson will play. We will just see where we are.
Greg Roman said on Thursday that he wasn't going to count out Jackson in the playoffs.
Roman said after Thursday's practice that he is a special guy. If someone has a chance to do it, he does.
The Ravens can still host a playoff game even though they are locked into a wild-card spot. A coin flip could allow Baltimore to host Cincinnati next weekend because of the unbalanced schedule caused by the Bills-Bengals game being canceled. They have been declared the winners of the division.
If the Ravens win in Cincinnati and the Bolts win in Denver, the coin-flip will happen. Los Angeles would play either Buffalo or Kansas City in the first round, while Baltimore would play Cincinnati. The coin-flip opportunity to host third-seeded Cincinnati in the playoffs would be the reward for the Ravens if they lost the division title. The Week 18 game between Baltimore and Cincinnati would have been for the division title if the Bills-Bengals game had been completed.
Jackson is not the only quarterback in Baltimore who is injured. Tyler Huntley, who has gone 2-2 in Jackson's absence this year, has been limited for the past three days due to injuries.
Anthony Brown would start in Huntley's place. The quarterback was added to the squad.
