Teetering on the edge of making or missing the playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens are now possible to play a crucial Week 17 game without their star quarterback, Lamar Jackson, who is dealing with a back injury that he sustained in Week 16.

On Wednesday, established Baltimore columnist Mike Preston published a piece detailing some level of friction between the organization, head coach John Harbaugh, and Jackson, culminating in something of a crossroads given Jackson's contract talks with the Ravens and the increasing likelihood that Baltimore misses the postseason this year.
