Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh has not made a decision on whether Lamar Jackson will start in Week 18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens have already clinched the AFC North title and the AFC's No. 1 seed. Harbaugh stated that they need to assess Jackson's injury before making a decision and will announce it once they start practicing on Wednesday. If Jackson doesn't play, he would have a 19-day break before the divisional round game on Jan. 20 or 21. In 2019, when the Ravens rested starters in a similar scenario, they lost in the divisional round. There are nine players remaining on the current roster who played in that game.
