This matchup between two of the most injury-plagued teams this season features plenty of injury questions. The Broncos may be down their top three wide receivers, while the Ravens could be down a key offensive lineman and two starting defenders.
The Broncos (3-8) have red at key spots on both sides of the ball, giving them the lowest overall SIC score in Week 13. Jerry Jeudy will miss another week with his ankle injury, while Courtland Sutton is questionable with an illness and KJ Hamler has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
On defense, No. 2 cornerback Ronald Darby is gone for the season with a torn ACL while linebackers Randy Gregory and Jonas Griffith will miss another week.
Denver has given up the third least points in the league this season, but have scored an average of 14.3 points per game. That ranks dead last this season.
The Ravens have had injury issues all season, but are getting healthier at the right time. Lamar Jackson should have no limitations despite missing part of Wednesday’s practice with a quad injury.
Star tight end Mark Andrews is a week better from his shoulder and knee ailments, but Baltimore is still down starting RB J.K. Dobbins and No. 1 wideout Rashod Bateman.
On defense, top cornerback Marlon Humphrey is questionable with an ankle injury but will likely play through.
The Ravens have given up the seventh-most passing yards this season, but the Broncos rank 21st in passing yards and have just 8 passing touchdowns this season.
The Ravens are favored by 9.5 points at home and the over/under is 39.5, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
