Lamar Jackson Practices Fully as Ravens-Steelers Will Decide AFC North

ESPN reporting indicates neither club is preparing a coaching change despite fan speculation.

Overview

  • The Sunday night game at Acrisure Stadium is a win-or-go-home matchup for the division, with the winner also locking the AFC’s No. 4 seed and a home wild-card game.
  • John Harbaugh said Lamar Jackson was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, his first since a Week 16 back contusion, putting him on track to play if cleared.
  • Derrick Henry’s surge — including 216 yards and four touchdowns in Green Bay — positions Baltimore’s run game as a primary factor against Pittsburgh.
  • Pittsburgh enters shorthanded on offense, with tight end Darnell Washington out with a broken arm and DK Metcalf’s suspension limiting the downfield passing threat.
  • Mike Tomlin expressed optimism about T.J. Watt’s potential return and confidence in a bounce-back after the Steelers’ 13-6 loss to the Browns set up this decider.
