Update On Baltimore Ravens Quarterback

For the past month now, the Baltimore Ravens have been hoping that Lamar Jackson could return ahead of the playoffs, and this past week, reports came out that he's a very good chance to play against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, but today, the optimism has almost completely gone out the window.

Unfortunately, it appears that the swelling in Jackson's knee hasn't gone down to the point where he's a guarantee to play this weekend, as he reportedly faces an uphill battle to get ready for the game as his contract situation looms in the background this off-season.

If Jackson can't go, as many are expecting, the Ravens will once again turn to Tyler Huntley as the Ravens take on their AFC North rival in the Cincinnati Bengals, and given the talent gap between the two, it's tough to see Baltimore competing with the red-hot Bengals.
