Lamar Jackson out; Tyler Huntley questionable for Ravens' wild-card game
The Baltimore Ravens will play against the Cincinnati Bengals in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs on Sunday, marking the third matchup of the 2022-2023 season between the two franchises. Baltimore won the Week 5 game against Cincinnati, while the Bengals took the Week 18 matchup from the Ravens.
On Friday, Baltimore released their final injury report for their first round playoff matchup, with an official ruling on quarterback Lamar Jackson. The fifth-year signal caller will miss the contest and is listed as out, as will defensive back Brandon Stephens and wide receiver Tylan Wallace.

Running back Gus Edwards, as well as cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey don't carry an injury designation.
Only quarterback Tyler Huntley carries the questionable tag. Huntley did fully participate in Friday's practice, but if he's unable to start due to his shoulder injury, rookie Anthony Brown would take the reins. Brown was 19-of-44 for 286 yards and two interceptions in his first start in the Week 18 loss.
This will be the sixth game the Ravens do not have their Pro Bowl quarterback after he injured his knee in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. On Thursday, he shared an update on social media, revealing he sprained his PCL. He said that there "is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee remains unstable."
