John Harbaugh provided more insight on the severity of Lamar Jackson's back contusion:
โItโs not like a black and blue mark. These are deep-tissue contusions. Iโm not a medical guy, but I did see the MRI. Itโs legitimate, very painful. The muscles lock up around it, you canโt really move very well. Heโs in the process now of loosening all that up. You canโt really say when itโs going to be right. Heโs got to be able to play. Heโs got to be able to be an athlete and go move.โ
The Ravens are 3-point favorites over the Patriots, per @DraftKings.
Lamar Jackson is 15-4 straight-up (.789) when favored by 3 points or less in his career.
Harbaugh acknowledged that they have to get Keaton Mitchell more involved. Said it was in the game plan and they just didn't get to it. Said it's also tough to take plays away from Derrick Henry.
More Marlon Humphrey, who was colorful as usual: "Thatโs been the big key, the mindset shift of even though we have Lamar Jackson, letโs give him a smoke break, letโs give him an off day. Heโs bailed us out so many times, how about we do it? Thatโs been a big difference.โ
