Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is ready to face the Cincinnati Bengals despite continuing to nurse a knee injury, while tight end Isaiah Likely will miss Thursday night’s AFC North showdown because of a hamstring injury.

The Bengals, meanwhile, will likely be without No. 2 wide receiver Tee Higgins, who caught nine passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns when the division rivals met Oct. 6 in Cincinnati. Higgins, listed as doubtful on Wednesday’s injury report, is dealing with a quadriceps injury. Two other key starters, defensive tackle B.J. Hill (rib) and left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee/fibula), are questionable to face the Ravens. Returner Charlie Jones is doubtful with a groin injury.

Jackson did not practice Tuesday but was listed with no injury designation for the Bengals game. Coach John Harbaugh had already said he would start. Jackson also missed two practices last week because of knee and back injuries but finished with a perfect passer rating in Sunday’s 41-10 win over the Denver Broncos. He has said he’s simply trying to rest his body as he navigates a grueling season in which he’s a leading candidate to win a third NFL Most Valuable Player award.

He will miss one of his favorite red zone targets in Likely, who caught two touchdown passes in the Ravens’ previous win over the Bengals.

Defensive end Brent Urban (concussion) was also listed as out on the final injury report of the week. The Ravens will likely elevate defensive end Chris Wormley and possibly nose tackle Josh Tupou to cover for Urban’s absence and that of defensive tackle Michael Pierce, who’s on injured reserve. In good news for the defensive line, Travis Jones (ankle) was upgraded to a full participant on Wednesday’s estimated injury report and does not carry an injury designation for the Bengals game.

Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis is doubtful for Thursday’s game after being limited in practice all week by a knee injury. Running back Rasheen Ali, an option to return kickoffs after the Ravens released Chris Collier, was listed as questionable with an ankle injury but participated fully in practice Tuesday and Wednesday.

Running back Keaton Mitchell was also listed as questionable as he prepares to return from the knee injury that cut short his 2023 season. Mitchell was a full practice participant all week, but the Ravens have until 4 p.m. Thursday to add him to their 53-man roster. If they don’t, he would likely be added next week, ahead of their Nov. 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
