Jackson suffered a knee injury Dec. 4, and the Ravens have scored a total of two touchdowns in his three-game absence.

If Jackson’s mobility is limited, it’s difficult to see the Ravens getting past the likes of the Chiefs, Bills and Bengals in the AFC. This also marks the second straight season that Jackson has missed multiple games in December, which could impact contract negotiations after the season.
