Welcome into the lounge presented by Draft Kings.

I'm Ryan Mink here with Garrett Downing.

And we are going to update you with the latest news ahead of the huge Raven Steelers regular season finale for the AFC North title.

We went to John Harbaugh's press conference on Monday, and there's, of course,

injury news to update you on. So we'll run through all of that. And Garrett, obviously,

it begins with Lamar Jackson, missed last week with that back contusion injury. And his status

is undetermined, according to head coach John Harbaal, but there is reason for optimism.

Yeah. The biggest thing is that there was significant improvement from Lamar over the course of last week.

At the beginning of the week, and we talked about this after the game, he was in rough shape.

He could hardly walk out of the locker room at scene post game. We talked with him after the loss against the Patriots was in a lot of pain. And then over the course of that entire week, there was steady improvement. It was what John Harbaugh said. And you could just see that. It was night and day looking at him on the sidelines of that game in Green Bay compared to where he was a week ago after the game against the Patriots. So there was improvement.

The other point that John Harbaugh made is that we'll know a lot more on Wednesday.

Wednesday is the Raven's first practice of the week.

As we know, Lamar's missed a lot of practice time over the past two months.

He's not had a full week of practice since very early in the season.

And so if he's out on Wednesday,

I don't know that that necessarily precludes him from playing on Sunday,

but that's the first real indication of how available he's going to be

if he's able to be on the practice field on Wednesday,

when the Ravens go through their first full practice of the week.

Yep.

And John Harbaugh made it very clear that if Lamar Jackson

is able to play, he will be the Raven starting quarterback. There's no, well, you know, Snoop looked good.
