By Eric Rosales in NFL Football

- Baltimore veteran DE Calais Campbell (knee) is questionable for Sunday
- Read below to find out who’s in and who’s out prior to this kickoff
For the fifth straight week, Tyler Huntley will get the call to start at quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.
He’ll replace a still-injured Lamar Jackson, as the Ravens host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football.
Jackson has not played since injuring his knee in a 10-9 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 13.
The Steelers will find out earlier in the day if they’re playoff dreams are still alive, as they need the Patriots to upend the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.
Most of their injury concern is on the defensive side of the ball, with defensive back Tre Norwood (hamstring) officially ruled out.
The NFL odds have the visiting Steelers as 2.5-point underdogs, with a total set at 35.
Catch this game Sunday night (January 1) at 8:20pm ET from M&T Bank Stadium, in a game you can see live on NBC.
Weather is calling for cloud cover and a brisk 54-degree temperature at kickoff.
The NFL betting trends is more centered than most matchups, with 53% of the bets against the spread on the Steelers, but 58% of the wagers taking the Ravens on the moneyline.
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Report
Perhaps the best news is that rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett will be available for this matchup. Pickett suffered a concussion early in the Week 14 meeting between these two teams, which cost him a pair of starts.
He returned last week to throw for 244 yards in a 13-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Another bit of good news, defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi should be a go for Sunday. He was forced to miss practice this week and was previously listed as questionable with a toe injury.
Steelers QB Kenny Pickett "cleared" sideline #concussion eval & returned for 3 plays before going into the protocol. Had a concussion Oct 16.
Calling this his 2nd concussion makes everyone look bad, so look out for "precautionary" language & no diagnosis. pic.twitter.com/uOXrpo3yux— Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. (@ChrisNowinski1) December 12, 2022
Not so good news for linebacker Myles Jack, who was limited all week while he deals with a groin injury. He’s listed as questionable Sunday. Norwood hurt his hamstring in last week’s win against the Raiders.
A slew of Steelers were on the injured list, but were full participants in Friday’s practice, including RB Najee Harris, S Terrell Edmunds, TE Pat Freiermuth and DT Cameron Heyward. All of them took some rest during the week.
One notable limited participant Friday was receiver Diontae Johnson (hip), but will be a go Sunday.
Baltimore Ravens Injury Report
There’s still no solid timeline for Jackson’s return, but with a playoff berth clinched, Baltimore can probably afford to rest their MVP pivot to get him as healthy as possible for the playoffs.
Joining Jackson on the sidelines is corner Marcus Peters, who has a calf injury. Another injury to the defensive backfield includes safety Geno Stone, who’s dealing with a hamstring injury.
He’s questionable for Sunday, as is Campbell, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, and was limited Friday.

Peters and Campbell are two key contributors to a Ravens defense that sits third in total yards allowed, and third in rush yards per game (87.5). That may present opportunities for Pittsburgh in our Steelers vs Ravens SNF props.
Offensively, the only notable is TE Nick Boyle, who’s questionable as he deals with an illness.
Almost all of Baltimore’s offensive line: center Trystan Colon, guard Kevin Zeitler and tackles Morgan Moses and Ronnie Stanley all missed parts of practice this week for rest, but are all a go Sunday.
How Can Injuries Affect Steelers vs Ravens Lines?
Barring any major injuries from now to kickoff, this line should stay relatively calm.
Heading into this game, the Steelers were as distant as 6.5-point ‘dogs on Caesars on December 21, but that line was set with Jackson’s uncertainty.
Should any skill players suddenly become unavailable, there’s a chance the total drops, but it’s already a miniscule 35.
