The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson host the Houston Texans and C.J. Stroud in an AFC Divisional Round clash. In last week’s win over the Cleveland Browns, the Texans lost wide receiver Noah Brown for the season with a shoulder injury.
The Ravens had the top seed in the AFC wrapped up before Week 18 and sat a number of starters in the last game of the regular season. Even with the bye last week, Baltimore had one of the longest injury reports for this weekend.

Latest Injury Report News and Updates
Ravens tight end Mark Andrews continued to practice with the team but was ruled out for the game. After suffering an ankle injury in Week 11, he was placed on injured reserve and there was concern that his season was over. Andrews might be ready to play next week if the Ravens advance.
Baltimore starting cornerback Marlon Humphrey will miss the game because of a calf injury suffered in Week 17. The Ravens have ruled out return specialist Tylan Wallace, who had the game-winning punt return in overtime in Week 14. Wallace was replacing Devin Duvernay, who is questionable for the game with the back injury from Week 14.
The Texans starting fullback Andrew Beck (back) and starting offensive tackle George Fant (illness) are listed as questionable. Beck was a limited participant on Thursday after missing the first two days of practice, while Fant missed Thursday’s practice.
