Lamar Jackson Misses Thursday Practice Ahead of Steelers Game
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not participate in Thursday's practice, following a limited session on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. This marks the fourth consecutive week Jackson has missed at least one practice.
Jackson has been dealing with multiple lower-body issues this season, including a hamstring injury that sidelined him for three games earlier in the year.
If Jackson is unable to play in the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is expected to start.
In addition to Jackson, defensive tackle Travis Jones was absent from Thursday's practice for personal reasons. Wide receivers Rashod Bateman (ankle) and Devontez Walker (groin) were downgraded to limited participation after being full participants on Wednesday.
The Ravens are preparing for a critical AFC North matchup against the Steelers, with both teams vying for first place in the division.
