Lamar Jackson

In the regular season’s final game, the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens will square off. This game has significant playoff implications for both teams. If the Ravens triumph, a contentious coin toss would be held to decide where these two teams would face off if they had to play again in the Wild Card round.

The Bengals will undoubtedly be motivated to play their best against Baltimore after the Ravens defeated them 19-17 in Week 5 on a last-second field goal thanks to such a contentious implication.

The Baltimore Ravens have qualified for the playoffs as a wild-card team despite Lamar Jackson missing the previous four games due to a sprained knee sustained in a Week 13 victory over the Denver Broncos. Due to Jackson’s absence, the team’s offence has been having trouble lately, scoring only 11.9 points on average since that game.

Lamar Jackson’s Injury Update

Lamar Jackson has been ruled out of the Ravens’ final regular-season game. He is set to miss his fifth consecutive game after being injured in week 13.

Head Coach John Harbaugh talked about Lamar Jackson’s knee injury recovery while announcing that the franchise quarterback will miss his fifth straight game in Week 18. Jackson is still “hopeful” to play when the Ravens kick off the playoffs, according to Harbaugh, who added that he is doing everything in his power to get better.

According to Harbaugh, the truth is that they simply don’t know. “I am aware that everyone is working hard. Lamar is working as hard as he can, the trainers are working as hard as they can, and obviously, [I] can’t wait for him to return. We are in that situation. We’ll keep hoping for next week, but he won’t be playing in this game. Then we’ll just evaluate our situation.

The Ravens want to win on Sunday, but they already have a spot in the playoffs, so even a victory wouldn’t ensure they got to play at home. The Ravens would still need the Chargers to defeat the Broncos and would need to prevail in a coin toss in order to secure a playoff game at M&T Bank. This suggests that the Ravens might still rest a few starters on Sunday in an effort to make the playoffs as healthy as possible.
