Lamar Jackson Out for Week 17 vs. Steelers

Lamar Jackson Out for Week 17 vs. Steelers

The Ravens will once again be without former MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson when they host the Steelers on Sunday night. The starting quarterback was ruled out on Friday afternoon, the team announced, hours after coach John Harbaugh called it a “fair assumption” that backup quarterback Tyler Huntley would start for the team once again.

Jackson will miss his fourth straight game with a knee injury suffered during the team’s Week 13 game against the Broncos. He was diagnosed with a sprained PCL, per Adam Schefter.  

The Ravens (10–5) have already clinched a playoff berth, while the Steelers (7–8) remain alive but on the outside looking in of the AFC playoff picture.

The teams will play in Sunday Night Football on Jan. 1, with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET.
