What happened: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson took the majority of first-team reps during Friday's practice and moved well on the field, per Tom Pelissero. Following limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, Jackson remained listed as a limited participant Friday and carries an official questionable designation into the weekend.

Why it matters: Jackson's availability swings an AFC North matchup between No. 7 seed Baltimore and No. 8 seed Cincinnati, with only a half-game separating the division rivals in the conference standings. The Ravens offense stalled last week, managing just 10 points in a three-point division road loss that allowed Cleveland to claim the No. 4 seed.

By the numbers: Baltimore enters at 4-2 following a 13-10 road loss to the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 18, while Cincinnati sits at 3-2 after a 31-24 road win over the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 11.

What to watch: A final decision on whether Jackson returns to the lineup against the Bengals is expected Sunday morning ahead of the pregame inactive deadline.
