Ravens vs Packers: latest injury report Week 15
The playoffs are getting mightily close and there is plenty of swing in this intriguing battle at the M&T Bank Stadium as Baltimore head up to Green Bay.
It's Sunday so there's another round of action today - one you’ll be able to follow live on AS USA with our main man Dane - as the Green Bay Packers open their M&T Bank Stadium doors to the Baltimore Ravens.
Ravens at Packers: injury reports
The Ravens (8-5) are clinging to a one-game lead in the AFC North, while the Packers (10-3) are the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Baltimore can keep first place in the north with a victory, with defeat, what would be a third in a row, would put their playoff chances in more doubt. A win for Green Bay would seal the NFC North with Arizona and Tampa Bay challenging them for the best record in the conference.
But the situation about who is available for these teams and all those across the league, are being hit by the latest wave of covid-19, adding to the usual wear and tear of the weekly tussles.

Baltimore Ravens: injury report Week 15
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins and cornerback Chris Westry were put on the reserve/covid-19 list Saturday night and will miss Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.
Further, NFL Network reported that quarterback Lamar Jackson is not expected to play, paving the way for Brett Huntley to start. Jackson missed his third straight practice Friday. Watkins is fourth on the Ravens with 394 yards receiving on 27 receptions. He has one touchdown. Jackson suffered an ankle sprain in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Jackson left last Sunday's game early in the second quarter after being taken down on a blitz from Cleveland linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. Jackson, the 2019 NFL MVP, did not return to the game after moving to the sideline under his own power and being carted to the locker room.
Things are worse in the defensive secondary. In addition to Westry, safety Chuck Clark did not clear covid protocol and is out Sunday, meaning the entire Ravens' starting secondary to start the season is sidelined.

Green Bay Packers: injury report Week 15
"No matter who they have out there, you can count on them being tough, physical," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said about the Ravens' situation. Green Bay has won three of four after defeating the visiting Chicago Bears 45-30 in Week 14 behind quarterback Aaron Rodgers' 341 yards and four passing touchdowns, despite his toe injury. "Simply put, one of the best to ever play the game," Harbaugh said.
Davante Adams had 10 receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown, and has eclipsed 100 yards receiving in three straight games.
