Injuries are becoming a greater factor as the NFL’s<\/a> regular season nears its midway point. Some teams continue to be hit hard by the injury bug, while others have been relatively lucky in avoiding too many serious injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Ravens are among the teams that have already dealt with a notable injury to a star player. The good news for Baltimore fans is that Lamar Jackson<\/a> will play this week after an ankle injury sidelined him for the past three games. The Ravens need all the help they can get as they prepare to face the Bills and MVP front-runner Josh Allen<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
