NFL Rumors: Baltimore Ravens QB Could Return For The Playoffs

Much of the talk in Baltimore as of late has surrounded the knee issue of superstar Quarterback Lamar Jackson, as he has not practiced in over a month due to a PCL sprain suffered in a game against the Denver Broncos, and without practicing before the Week 18 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, many believed a return for Week 1 of the playoffs would be out of the question.

As of reports on Friday, he still has plenty of swelling in the knee, but reports from ESPN's Adam Schefter today surprisingly say that he has a 'strong chance' of playing in the Wild Card round next weekend, despite all of this.

Despite being ruled out for Sunday’s regular-season finale, not having practiced once in over a month, and still having swelling in his knee, Ravens’ quarterback Lamar Jackson has “a strong chance” of playing Baltimore’s wild-card game next weekend, per a league source.

With Tyler Huntley or Anthony Brown, the Ravens stand no chance in the playoffs, especially with their lack of weapons on the outside, but if they can somehow get Jackson and his dual threat play back, there's a chance that they can give any team in the AFC a run for their money.
