Cincinnati visits Baltimore on Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern on CBS. The Bengals are 3–2 after their bye; the Ravens are 4–2.
Reported facts: the final Friday designations
Cincinnati listed no players with a game-status designation on Friday. Baltimore listed quarterback Lamar Jackson questionable with an ankle injury after three limited practices.
The Ravens ruled out safety Jaylinn Hawkins and linebacker Tavius Robinson. Cornerback T.J. Tampa Jr. was doubtful, while defensive tackle Broderick Washington joined Jackson as questionable.
ISR analysis: separate the quarterback name from the structure
Jackson’s status changes the rushing and movement profile, but the line and protection still determine what the offense can ask from any quarterback. Watch whether Baltimore can create useful early downs before evaluating the passing game in obvious situations.
Cincinnati’s clean final designation list does not erase matchup risk. The Bengals still have to handle Baltimore’s pressure looks and prevent negative plays from dictating the drive.
Factors to watch
- Baltimore’s inactive list and quarterback decision.
- Designed movement versus pressure-created movement.
- Cincinnati’s early-down protection and run efficiency.
- Red-zone play volume in a familiar division matchup.
