Only a desperate joke franchise will give Lamar Jackson a huge contract if he sits for an NFL playoff game when he's healthy enough to go. He's getting franchise tagged by Baltimore for at least next year if he doesn't go on a run in this year's playoffs anyway (unless Baltimore gives up on him).

If he doesn't play well against the Bengals, he has a built-in excuse. If he doesn't play at all, that's two years in a row where his team misses out on the playoffs because he can't play in the back half of the year.

I don't think it makes sense for him to sit out unless the injury is way more severe than what was reported, or he really wants to get out of Baltimore and doesn't care about playing meaningful games for the rest of his career.
