Lamar Jackson Misses Thursday With Ankle as Ravens Face Steelers for AFC North Lead

The quarterback was limited Wednesday then sat out the next day, a break from recent routines that clouds his availability for Sunday.

Overview

  • Jackson had participated Wednesday in a rare full-attendance Ravens practice, but his Thursday absence extends a four-week pattern of missing at least one session with lower-body issues.
  • If Jackson cannot play, backup Tyler Huntley is in line to start after winning his lone 2025 start and moving ahead of Cooper Rush on the depth chart.
  • Baltimore’s depth improved with CB Nate Wiggins, OLB Tavius Robinson and S Ar’Darius Washington returning to practice this week.
  • Pittsburgh ruled out rookie DT Derrick Harmon, while T.J. Watt and Aaron Rodgers were full participants Thursday after missing Wednesday.
  • Jackson’s recent form has dipped, with a mid-50s completion rate over the last four games, no touchdown passes in the last three, and multiple turnovers as the 6-6 rivals meet with division positioning at stake.
