The top-seeded Baltimore Ravens will open up their championship chase against the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round on Saturday.
Like every other team still playing at this point, the Ravens are not without injuries. Several key players are banged up, including wide receiver Devin Duvernay and tight end Mark Andrews, who are eligible to be activated off injured reserve.
Duvernay, who has been out for a month due to a back injury, will play, according to Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. Andrews’ status is a little murkier; the three-time Pro Bowler is “up in the air.”
As for cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who missed seven regular season games, including the finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Harbaugh “doesn’t know if he’ll make it.”
“He’s probably the person I’m least optimistic about right now,” Harbaugh told reporters.

With a win over the Texans, the Ravens will advance to the AFC Championship Game for the first time since January 2013, which is the same year the franchise won its last Super Bowl.
The Ravens and Texans will kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET Saturday afternoon. ABC and ESPN will broadcast the action.
