Lamar Jackson’s Status for Ravens-Steelers AFC North Decider Remains Uncertain

The team will decide after Wednesday’s practice based on medical clearance.

Overview

  • Coach John Harbaugh said Jackson is "to be determined" and emphasized that he will play if he is ready.
  • Jackson has not practiced since sustaining a back contusion in Week 16 when he was kneed by Patriots safety Craig Woodson.
  • If Jackson cannot go, Tyler Huntley is slated to start after an efficient outing in the Week 17 win at Green Bay, going 16 of 20 for 107 yards with a touchdown and 60 rushing yards.
  • Sunday night’s game in Pittsburgh is a winner-take-all matchup for the AFC North title.
  • Jackson previously missed three games with a hamstring injury; an absence this week would be his fifth missed game this season and his second in a row.
