Lamar Jackson Misses Thursday Practice With Ankle Injury as Ravens-Steelers First-Place Clash Nears

Baltimore's coordinator expects him to play, pending Friday's practice update.

Overview

  • After a limited workout Wednesday — his first Wednesday practice since Nov. 5 — Jackson was listed as a non-participant Thursday with an ankle issue.
  • This is the fourth straight week he has missed at least one practice following earlier hamstring, knee and toe problems.
  • If Jackson cannot go, Tyler Huntley is in line to start with Cooper Rush next on the depth chart.
  • The 6-6 Ravens host the 6-6 Steelers for the AFC North lead, and Pittsburgh listed T.J. Watt and Aaron Rodgers as full participants Thursday after missing Wednesday.
  • Jackson is in a skid with three consecutive games without a touchdown and three turnovers in the Thanksgiving loss to the Bengals, intensifying focus on Baltimore's offense.
