Baltimore – Lamar JacksonThe knee injury isn’t season-ending, but there’s no set timeline for the quarterback’s return to the Pro Bowl, said coach John Harbaugh after the Baltimore Ravens’ 10-9 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Jackson is scheduled to undergo more tests on Monday. Harbaugh said the team will know by Wednesday at the latest how long Jackson will be out.
“It will be a number [of] days to weeks. Harbu said: We’ll see. We’ll see if he can come back this week. If not, it will be shortly thereafter.”
Like last year, Jackson was injured trying to wriggle out of a lunge. And just like last season, he was injured in December when the Ravens sat atop the AFC North standings.
On Sunday, Jackson was injured on the final play of the first quarter when he was sacked from behind by a Broncos linebacker. Jonathan Cooper. It looked as if Jackson’s left knee was pushed into the ground as Cooper landed on his back. After being evaluated in the medical tent, Jackson limped into the locker room with the medical staff at the start of the second quarter and was ruled out at the start of the second half.
This is the first time Jackson has missed any snaps since last season, when he injured his ankle in Week 14. The Ravens, who were 8-4 at the time, have lost their last five games with Jackson sidelined and missed the playoffs.
This season, Jackson has led Baltimore to first place in the AFC North. The Ravens improved to 8-4 with a win on Sunday.
“There were so many times that men would have said, ‘Poor me, poor me,’ but men kept fighting and fighting and fighting,” Mark Andrews He said. And finally [we] Finally broke through. It’s great to see him.”
Filling in for Jackson, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley He led a game-winning 91-yard drive in the final minutes of regulation. Huntley was 8-for-8 for 50 yards on the final drive and scored on a 2-yard touchdown run with 28 seconds remaining.
Asked how he would think if Jackson missed more games due to injury, Huntley said, “Just like every week – just get ready. That’s it. That’s it.”
Huntley finished 27 of 32 for 187 yards with an interception on his first snaps of the season. Last season, he held Baltimore as Jackson’s opponent, but was 1-3 to start with.
“He’s got a lot of confidence,” Andrews said of Huntley. “You see the way he plays. Things weren’t perfect, but for him to be able to come in – especially that last drive – and do what he did, the composure he had, just shows you how good he really is, how much he’s learned. I think. In Lamar, but tip your hat to Snoop. [Huntley] [and] Just how well he played. It’s great football.”
Jackson has been plagued with injuries lately. He missed one practice two weeks ago with a groin injury and was limited to one practice last week with a quadriceps injury. Jackson missed only four games due to injury in his entire career last season.
It has been a crucial season for Jackson, who is on his fifth year option and not under contract for next year.
