Ravens head coach John Harbaugh declined to comment on whether or not his star quarterback, Lamar Jackson, would play in Tuesday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.
“It’s still too early to announce,” Harbaugh told the media Thursday. “There’s no season-ending injures. So, beyond that, I really won’t have any other comments on any of that right now.”

The Baltimore Ravens’ season is over after a 17-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. The Ravens have officially gone into offseason mode, cutting four players from their roster: quarterback Robert Griffin III, cornerbacks Davontae Harris and Tramon Williams, and wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas.
Griffin, Harris and Williams were already set to be unrestricted free agents this offseason, while Thomas had opted out this season under the NFL’s COVID-19 protocol. Ultimately, the moves don’t change much for the Ravens, but they do allow all four players to begin their hunt for new employers a little faster. It’s something Baltimore has done over the years to players they’re moving on from and for whom they expect no compensatory picks in return. It’s a little tip of the hat and a sign of respect from the franchise.

While Griffin still clearly believes he can start in the NFL, he could re-sign with the Ravens this offseason. But with Trace McSorley and Tyler Huntley having gotten meaningful snaps this season, Baltimore might feel comfortable going with the two young passers behind starter Lamar Jackson. Griffin seemed to acknowledge his tenure was finished on Monday, taking to Twitter to thank his teammates, the fans and the organization.

The Ravens roster is surely going to change quite a bit in the coming months as free agency and the draft offer opportunities for Baltimore to bring in talent at positions of need.
