Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has no injury designation for Sunday night’s game against the Steelers.
The Baltimore Ravens took Lamar Jackson off their Week 18 injury report after the star quarterback completed his first full week of practice since Week 10.
Jackson suffered a back contusion in Week 16, sidelining him all of last week. The team emphasized the severity of the injury last week, raising concern about Jackson’s status for Week 17 as well. But his full participation on Wednesday spurred optimism in The Castle about his status for Sunday’s trip to Pittsburgh.
That optimism has turned into certainty; in fact, Jackson might be the healthiest he has been all season.
“It’s been the closest we’ve been in a long time where [Jackson]’s going to be a full-go all week – that’s a fact,” offensive coordinator Todd Monken said on Thursday. He noted that Jackson’s absences have given Tyler Huntley more reps with the first-team offense, which has clearly translated to the field.
“If that doesn’t really tell you that practice matters and the reps and your timing and your team’s confidence around you, I don’t know what does,” he added. “You like having your quarterback out there every day.”
Here are the Ravens’ final injury designations for Sunday night’s game in Pittsburgh:
Questionable
- WR Rashod Bateman (illness)
- DT Taven Bryan (knee, designated to return from injured reserve)
- CB Marlon Humphrey (illness)
