Ravens QB Lamar Jackson doubtful for Saturday’s clash with Packers
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been listed as “doubtful” on the team’s final injury report ahead of Saturday’s matchup with the Green Bay Packers.
Jackson missed practice all week after taking a knee to his back during Sunday’s loss to the New England Patriots. Veteran backup Tyler Huntley is expected to start in his place.
Huntley saw action last week, completing 9-of-10 passes for 65 yards. This will be his second start of the season, having previously led the Ravens to a 30-16 win over the Chicago Bears earlier this year.
Baltimore will rely on Huntley to guide them to another victory against a challenging NFC North opponent.
The Ravens are in a tight playoff race with the Pittsburgh Steelers. A loss to the Packers would officially eliminate Baltimore from postseason contention. To reach the playoffs, the Ravens must win their remaining two games and hope the Steelers lose both of theirs.
The season finale in Week 18 will see the Ravens and Steelers face off, making Saturday’s game a crucial step in Baltimore’s playoff hopes.
