Bo Smolka offers five takeaways from the Ravens’ 49-13 win against the Bengals, including big performances from Lamar Jackson and his tight-end trio. Plus, a look ahead to the Ravens’ Week 11 matchup against the Texans.

The Ravens have officially listed quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) as questionable for the Ravens’ game at Cincinnati Nov. 10, but he is expected to play.

The Ravens announced Nov. 8 that they have signed inside linebacker L.J. Fort to a two-year contract extension, rewarding one of the key additions in the midseason makeover of their defense.

Bo Smolka offers three key matchups for the Ravens’ Week 10 game against the Bengals, including Baltimore linebacker Patrick Onwuasor against Cincinnati running backs Joe Mixon and Gio Bernard.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed practice Nov. 7 because of an illness, according to the team’s official injury report, the first practice he has missed this season.

Coming off the emotional high of their win against the previously undefeated Patriots, Ravens players stressed there won’t be any letdown when they face the winless Bengals Nov. 10. “This game’s a rivalry game, just like the Steelers, Browns,” Jimmy Smith said.

The Ravens have signed former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver and return specialist De’Anthony Thomas, and he could immediately be a factor for a special teams unit that has drawn criticism from head coach John Harbaugh.
