The Baltimore Ravens are desperate not only to get to the playoffs but to get past whoever is in their path and make a deep playoff run to reach the Super Bowl for the first time under star quarterback Lamar Jackson.

The Ravens making the playoffs seemed like a long shot after their 1-5 start to the season, in which Jackson was sidelined for several weeks with a nagging hamstring injury.

However, aided by Jackson’s return, Baltimore’s win over the New York Jets on Sunday pushed them into first place in the AFC North for the first time this season. Unfortunately, now Jackson, arguably the most important player on the team, is dealing with another brutal injury and is dealing with a short turnaround, as the Ravens are slated to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving Day.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is dealing with a toe injury and would not have practiced today. His injury log this season now looks like this: • Weeks 4–9: Hamstring • Week 11: Knee • Week 12: Ankle • Week 13: Toe,” reported Ari Meirov on Monday.

Fans reacted to the news on social media.

“Don’t forget week 1 when he had ‘A Cramp’ in Buffalo which may have been the hamstring along,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

“He’s going to leave if the Ravens don’t fix the wholes in their O-line,” someone else added.

“Body done. Been moving like Jacoby Brissett in the pocket since he came back,” another fan added.

It’ll be interesting to see if Jackson can stay healthy enough to make the deep playoff run the Ravens are looking for.
