"OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that "it's to be determined" whether quarterback Lamar Jackson can play in Sunday night's game at the Pittsburgh Steelers, which will crown the AFC North champion. Jackson sustained a back contusion on Dec. 21 and didn't play in Saturday's 41-24 victory at the Green Bay Packers. "He's coming off a very serious injury and he's working at it," Harbaugh said. "I think we'll know a lot more on Wednesday [when the Ravens return to practice].""
"Jackson was injured when he got kneed in the back during a 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots. He didn't practice last week with what Harbaugh described as a "painful" injury."
"Jackson has led Baltimore to four AFC North titles -- the Ravens have won the division the last two seasons. But Jackson has dealt with a handful of injuries this season -- hamstring, knee, ankle, toe and back -- that have resulted in one of the most challenging seasons of his eight-year career. In 12 starts this season, Jackson has a 6-6 record and has thrown for 192.6 yards per game, which ranks 24th among quarterbacks with at least 10 games played. His 340 yards rushing are a career low."
Lamar Jackson sustained a back contusion on Dec. 21 and missed the Ravens' 41-24 victory at Green Bay. Participation in Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh, which will determine the AFC North champion, remains uncertain and is expected to be clearer after Wednesday practice. Early-week condition was poor but improved as the week progressed, providing some optimism. Jackson has dealt with multiple injuries this season — hamstring, knee, ankle, toe and back — and in 12 starts holds a 6-6 record with 192.6 passing yards per game and a career-low 340 rushing yards.
