Jackson was not present during the media viewing portion of Wednesday's practice, significantly decreasing his chances of playing in Sunday night's wild-card game at the Cincinnati Bengals. He has not suited up since injuring his left knee on Dec. 4, 38 days.
Coach John Harbaugh again said there was no real update on the injured knee that kept Jackson out for the final five games of the regular season � although he did indicate that he could be comfortable putting a player on the field for a game if he's not quite 100%.
«If he's healthy and safe and he's not going to do any damage to an injury,» Harbaugh said. «Any player plays and does what he can, to the level that he can in that situation.»
Still, Jackson hasn't even made it back onto the practice field, much less shown that he can contribute in a game in any significant way.
