Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has "a strong chance" to return for his team's wild-card matchup next weekend, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Jackson is set to miss his fifth straight game Sunday due to a knee injury. He still has swelling in his knee and hasn't practiced since suffering the PCL sprain.

The 26-year-old has indicated to people close to him that he's confident he'll play in the playoffs, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. However, those around him reportedly aren't as convinced he'll be able to play in the postseason's opening round.

If Jackson can't suit up for the wild-card matchup, the team believes he'll be ready for the following week if the Ravens advance, Rapoport added.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that he was hopeful the 2019 MVP would be cleared for the start of the playoffs.

Tyler Huntley is set to start in the regular-season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals.
