Lamar Jackson would never sit out a win-or-go-home scenario in the season finale against the hated Steelers. As the Wednesday practices get ready to begin, the Ravens‘ star quarterback will be present. Baltimore (8-8) is clinging to their playoff lives after a 41-24 win over Green Bay that saw Derrick Henry amass a career high 36 carries, 216 yards rushing, and four touchdowns as John Harbaugh’s team fought for survival. The Ravens needed a Browns win over the Steelers on Sunday for a shot at a winner-take-all showdown against Pittsburgh in Week 18, and were rewarded correctly.
Playing without Jackson, Tyler Huntley was supremely efficient and matched Henry’s effectiveness on the ground with eight carries for 60 yards. Henry’s efforts foiled an outstanding night from pending free agent quarterback Malik Willis.
Now Ravens fans and media will wait until Wednesday afternoon to get the first fundamental outlook and injury report on Jackson ahead of Sunday night’s gigantic matchup. Ian Rapoport reports that Jackson will participate in some form.
