The Ravens celebrated the Cleveland Browns on their scheduled day off Sunday.

Cleveland’s win over the Steelers left the door open for the Ravens to make the playoffs by virtue of a Week 18 victory at Pittsburgh.

Baltimore stayed alive by winning at Green Bay on Saturday, then went home with hope and spent Sunday rooting for the Browns.

“We had fun (watching), but it was a nailbiter. Great job by the Browns, obviously,” Harbaugh said Monday. “That was a great example of AFC North football.”

Tyler Huntley won his second start this season in place of Lamar Jackson, who missed the game due to a back contusion. Jackson’s status for Sunday will be clearer by Wednesday, Harbaugh said.

“It’s to be determined. He’s working at it. I saw him in here today working at it,” Harbaugh said.

Injuries have dogged Jackson since he injured his hamstring in September at Kansas City. He was unable to practice last week and the back issue is the latest on a list of maladies blocking Jackson from participating in a full week of practice for two months.

“We’re excited for the opportunity. It’s a division championship game for sure,” Harbaugh said.

The Steelers are dealing with their own personnel questions and again will be without wide receiver DK Metcalf (suspension). Tight end Darnell Washington is out after breaking his arm Sunday.

Jackson made improvement as last week progressed and gave the Ravens “cause for optimism,” but Harbaugh clarified again Monday that all injury decisions are in the hands of the medical and training staff.

“The fact we have a lot of confidence in Tyler is a real big plus but it’s not a factor in whether we play Lamar. If he’s healthy, he’s playing,” Harbaugh said.
