What happened: The Baltimore Ravens expect quarterback Lamar Jackson to start this week. Jackson was previously listed as limited with a back injury earlier in October. Baltimore confirmed the starter is on track to resume under center.

Why it matters: Baltimore enters the matchup at 4-3 and sits ninth in the AFC playoff standings after back-to-back defeats. The club dropped a 35-13 decision to Cincinnati on Sunday and needs a victory to remain in postseason contention.

By the numbers: Baltimore is 4-3 on the season and currently holds the No. 9 seed in the AFC following two straight losses.

What to watch: Baltimore will confirm Jackson's active status when official game designations are submitted ahead of kickoff.
