Baltimore Ravens injury report:

Ravens listed as doubtful: Jeremy Maclin (WR) 

Jeremy Maclin has not panned out for the Ravens. He only has 40 receptions for 440 yards and three touchdowns on the year. That being said the Ravens missing Maclin is a big deal. He may not be the biggest play-maker in the world, but the Ravens offense doesn’t have much at the wide receiver position. Other players will have to step up.

Ravens listed as questionable: Jermaine Eluemunor (OL), Austin Howard (RT), Patrick Ricard (FB), Mike Wallace (WR), Brandon Williams (DT). 

If things go the way they have most of the season, questionable almost always means probable. The Ravens have some key players on this list so it is something to keep an eye on. The Ravens need Mike Wallace to be ready to roll, he’s the go to guy. The Bengals pass rush is fierce, so if Austin Howard doesn’t feel 100 percent that could be problematic.

Bengals injury report:

Bengals listed as out: Cedric Ogbuehi (LT)

The Bengals injury report isn’t too daunting. The Bengals will be without their left tackle, and their offensive line is abysmal with or without him. This should create a chance for Terrell Suggs to take over the game. Suggs has had an incredible season, and with the playoffs on the line a bad offensive line could be in trouble.

Bengals listed as questionable: Vontaze Burfict (LB), William Jackson (CB), Joe Mixon (RB)
