The Baltimore Ravens hit the road for a Week 17 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. They're looking to bounce back after a "Sunday Night Football" loss to the New England Patriots.

In that loss, quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a back injury in the second quarter, which knocked him out for the remainder of the game. Backup Tyler Huntley filled in, throwing for 65 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions.

At 7-8, the Ravens have yet to be eliminated from playoff contention. ESPN's FPI gives them a 6.6% chance of earning a spot. However, whether or not Jackson can suit up against Green Bay will play a major factor.

According to the Ravens' editorial director, the quarterback did not participate in Wednesday's practice. That marks the second straight day he failed to practice.

However, while speaking to reporters on Wednesday, head coach John Harbaugh revealed that despite missing two practices, it's "undetermined" whether he'll play.

"Lamar Jackson’s status is undetermined for Saturday, John Harbaugh said," ESPN's Jamison Hensley wrote via an X post. "Jackson is still considered day to day with a back contusion after missing Wednesday’s practice. Harbaugh called Jackson 'the ultimate competitor' and will play if he’s able to do so."

This season, the four-time Pro Bowler has appeared in 12 games. He's completed 181-of-284 passes for 2,311 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. Jackson has also rushed for 340 yards and two touchdowns on 63 carries.

With already slim playoff hopes, the Ravens square off against a Packers defense that ranks sixth in the NFL in total yards per game allowed (301.6). While Harbaugh claims there's a chance Jackson plays, an official game status will be announced on Friday.

Kickoff is Saturday at 8 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field, airing on Peacock.
