Ravens QB Lamar Jackson Clears Injury Hurdle, Ready to Battle Steelers in Critical AFC North Showdown
Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson confirms his return from back injury for pivotal matchup. Key players' game status revealed ahead of high-stakes divisional clash.
The Baltimore Ravens are set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a must-win AFC North title game, with quarterback Lamar Jackson declaring himself fully prepared to lead his team into battle.
Jackson's triumphant return comes after missing last Saturday's victory against the Green Bay Packers due to a back contusion. The dynamic quarterback reassured fans and coaches on Thursday that he's ready to play, and the Ravens officially confirmed his health status on Friday by listing him with no injury designation.
Throughout the week, Jackson participated in full practice sessions, signaling his complete recovery. As an additional precautionary measure, he is expected to wear extra padding to protect his back during Sunday night's critical contest.
However, the Ravens aren't without additional injury concerns. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey was added to the injury report on Friday after missing practice with an illness and is currently listed as questionable for the game. Similarly, wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been sidelined the entire week due to illness and shares the questionable game status.
Defensive tackle Taven Bryan presents another potential roster challenge, being listed as questionable for activation from injured reserve due to a knee issue. These uncertainties add an extra layer of complexity to the Ravens' game preparation.
The impending matchup against the Steelers carries significant playoff implications, making Jackson's return particularly crucial. Ravens fans will be eagerly watching to see how their star quarterback performs after his brief injury layoff and whether he can help secure a pivotal divisional victory.
