Lamar Jackson may not play vs. the Bengals

When the Baltimore Ravens get ready to take on the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend, they may be missing a key piece: Lamar Jackson. It has been reported by NFL insider Ian Rapoport that Jackson is facing an uphill climb to get on the field for the postseason showdown.

This is rough news for Baltimore, as they'll have to turn things over to Tyler Huntley if Jackson can't go. Obviously, Ravens fans would much rather have Jackson out there.

From @GMFB: #Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (PCL) faces an uphill battle to play vs. the #Bengals in their Wild Card game, per me and @MikeGarafolo. More uncertainty. … Meanwhile, Baltimore paid LB Roquan Smith on a 5-year, $100M deal. pic.twitter.com/85Nbo8AefH

Jackson hasn't been able to practice for more than a month due to his knee injury. Right now, it feels like he won't be able to make plays in the Wild Card Round.
