Campbell has been unavailable since suffering a knee injury in the Ravens' 13-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. Consistently one of the league's most dominant defensive linemen, the six-time Pro Bowler has compiled 5.5 sacks, 36 tackles, and a solid 76.6 overall grade from Pro Football Focus over his 13 appearances this year.

The stakes are high in the Ravens' matchup with the Steelers tonight. A loss could eliminate the Ravens from contention for the AFC North crown, pending Monday Night Football's showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile, a loss for the Steelers could eliminate them from the Wildcard race.

The Ravens need a victory tonight to set up a throwdown for all the marbles against the Bengals in Week 18. Winning out would guarantee the Ravens a division title and a home playoff game.
