Lamar Jackson practiced for the second day in a row on Thursday. We might see this 🔥 QB matchup on Sunday. Bengals vs Via @NFLonCBS on X

What happened: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson logged a limited practice session on Thursday after also participating on a limited basis Wednesday. The regular-season divisional matchup between the Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals kicks off Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+.

Why it matters: Sunday's meeting carries immediate AFC playoff leverage, with seventh-seeded Baltimore (4-2) holding a half-game lead over eighth-seeded Cincinnati (3-2). Keeping Jackson on the field after he missed a Sept. 30 Wednesday session is pivotal as Baltimore looks to reclaim the No. 4 seed it surrendered last weekend.

By the numbers: Baltimore enters on a one-game losing streak following a 13-10 loss on Oct. 18, while Cincinnati brings a one-game winning streak after a 31-24 victory on Oct. 11. Drafted 32nd overall by Baltimore out of Louisville in 2018, Jackson completed 192 of 302 passes for 2,549 yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 13 games in 2025, per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026).

What to watch: Baltimore's Friday practice report will determine whether Jackson upgrades to full participation and carries an injury designation into Sunday's pregame inactive deadline.
