Ravens head coach John Harbaugh didn’t offer much of an update on Jackson’s status other than the fact the dynamic quarterback is simply not ready to return.

Jackson has been out since spraining his PCL in a game against the Denver Broncos on December 4th. Earlier in the day, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Jackson faced an “uphill” battle to play agains the Bengals:

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

Meanwhile for the Ravens, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley did not throw during the media’s viewing of practice due to a shoulder injury.

Not looking good for the Ravens.
