Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was absent from practice Tuesday after missing two practices last week but will play Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, coach John Harbaugh said.

Jackson, who was in the locker room Tuesday, was listed with a knee injury on the team’s injury report. That after he was not listed on an estimated injury report for the team’s walk-through Monday and gave no indication he was dealing with an illness or injury when he spoke to reporters afterward.

When asked if he could get used to practicing just once a week, Jackson said: “No. My guys are out there working, so I don’t [have a] problem with working. But you know, if that’s going [to] help me recover faster, yes, I’d be cool with it.”

Jackson was listed with back and knee injuries last week but said he had been resting his body after he practiced on Friday in preparation for the Denver Broncos. He then played brilliantly in the game, completing 16 of 19 passes for 280 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-10 win.

As a runner, Jackson carried a season-low three times for a season-low 4 yards, and he was asked Monday if he was protecting his body. “No I just didn’t feel like I had to,” he said. “Things were working in our favor. … Everything was just going our way, and I really didn’t have to run. [I had] only, I think, one scramble — I had to though — nobody was open, so that’s all.”

Harbaugh has said Jackson might receive periodic rest days as the season goes on, though he also gave no indication Monday that Jackson might miss Tuesday’s practice.

“Not really,” Harbaugh said when asked Tuesday if he could provide more detail on Jackson’s absence. “Nothing I really want to talk about and comment on. He’ll be playing Thursday night. That’s probably the main thing you’re asking, right?”

Tight end Isaiah Likely also did not practice Tuesday because of a hamstring injury, increasing the likelihood that he won’t be ready to face the Bengals.

Likely played just 17 offensive snaps and was targeted once Sunday. He was listed as a non-participant on the estimated injury report for the team’s Monday walk-through.

“It’s something he’s dealing with,” Harbaugh said. “With the short week, we’ll just have to see how it works out here in the next couple of days.”

Likely has caught 24 passes for 271 yards and scored two touchdowns in the Ravens’ Oct. 6 win in Cincinnati. if he’s out, Charlie Kolar, who had his best game of the season against the Bengals, could be in for a bigger role.

Defensive end Brent Urban remains out after he suffered a concussion in the team’s Oct. 27 loss to the Cleveland Browns, while defensive tackle Travis Jones is still limited by the ankle injury that kept him from playing any defensive snaps against Denver.

With Michael Pierce on injured reserve, the Ravens might again need to elevate defensive end Chris Wormley and nose tackle Josh Tupou from the practice squad to fortify their defensive front against the Bengals.

Meanwhile, the Ravens upgraded running back Rasheen Ali (ankle) and wide receiver Tylan Wallace (foot) from limited to full participation Tuesday. Ali could become an option to return kickoffs after the Ravens released Chris Collier on Tuesday. For the Bengals, wide receiver Tee Higgins (quadriceps) and defensive tackle B.J. Hill (rib) were listed as nonparticipants, while left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee/fibula) was listed as a limited participant on the team’s estimated injury report.
