John Harbaugh on Wednesday said Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was dealing with a “deep-tissue contusion” in his back.

The Ravens will face the Packers at 8 p.m. Saturday at Lambeau Field. Here are game predictions from The Banner’s sports staff and a guest picker.

Green Bay’s backup quarterback, Malik Willis, who is questionable for Saturday’s game, which the Ravens have to win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

“His mindset is so strong, and he’s so disciplined, and he wants to be great,” said Phil Wallin, founder and CEO of Diesel Optimization, where Alonso trains.

In 2024, the Pirates faced N.C. State in this bowl. East Carolina blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter before a late touchdown gave the Pirates a 26-21 victory. Then a brawl broke out.

There might come a time next year when the Washington Commanders benefit from what they learned in a 30-23 defeat against Dallas on Thursday.

Baltimore can still supplement its rotation, even if it misses out on free agents Framber Valdez and Ranger Suárez.

Baltimore faces Green Bay on Saturday, but it’ll face larger challenges this offseason.

As the Ravens and Green Bay prepare for their Saturday night matchup, here’s what to watch in Week 17.

The Commanders lost for the 10th time in 11 games.

The Ravens’ playoff hopes are on the line at Lambeau Field.

The Ravens’ quarterback situation ahead of a must-win game against the Packers remained unsettled Wednesday, with Lamar Jackson sidelined for a second straight day.

Four of the Ravens’ Pro Bowl honorees are set to enter the offseason with questions hovering over their future.

Lamar Jackson left the Ravens’ loss Sunday to the New England Patriots late in the first half and did not return.

“At the end of the day, when you have an awesome team, and your record shows that you’re 7-8 but you have the talent, the capability and all the players love each other, you’re going to be upset,” Likely said.

The Banner decided to talk to more than a dozen Ravens fans before the team’s game against the New England Patriots and conduct follow-up interviews with five of them after the 28-24 loss to get their thoughts on a disappointing season.

Left-handed first baseman/outfielder Ryan O’Hearn is coming off the best season of his big league career. He hit .281 with 17 home runs and 63 RBIs in 2025 and made the All-Star team for the first time.

Six Ravens were selected to the Pro Bowl Games: safety Kyle Hamilton, inside linebacker Roquan Smith, fullback Patrick Ricard, punter Jordan Stout, wide receiver Zay Flowers and center Tyler Linderbaum.

Asked about his job security for the first time this season, John Harbaugh called it a “great question” but stressed that coaching is a “day-to-day job.”

“Nothing beyond a contusion, but I don’t want to minimize the severity and the pain level on that because it’s legit,” coach John Harbaugh said.
