What happened: Alex Smith stated on ESPN that the Baltimore Ravens must lean on their rushing attack with Derrick Henry, who previously handled a wildcat snap to tie a game for Baltimore, against the Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is ruled out for the scheduled contest with an ankle injury.

Why it matters: Without Jackson available to direct the offense, Baltimore's game plan shifts toward Henry to control possession and manage the tempo against a division opponent. Establishing the ground game reduces pressure on the passing attack while the Ravens navigate Jackson's absence in regular-season play.

What to watch: The Ravens and Bengals face off in Baltimore with the scheduled divisional game set to begin at 0-0.
