Lamar Jackson’s injury status; will he return in the postseason?
The Ravens would be a much more dangerous offensive team if and when Lamar Jackson can return to the lineup. But will he?
Baltimore’s quarterback Lamar Jackson has been on the sidelines with a sprained knee, and the Ravens have been competing without him in the lineup for about a month now.
While the injury is not an easy one to come back from, offensive coordinator Greg Roman is hopeful Jackson will return in the postseason.
“He’s a special guy,” Roman said. “I think if somebody’s got a chance to do it, he does. I would say, I would bet on him.”
The Ravens, who are in second place in the AFC North with a 10-6 record, would be a much more dangerous offensive team if and when Jackson can return to the lineup. The QB had completed 203 of 326 passes for 2,272 yards with 17 touchdown passes and 7 interceptions before injuring his knee. He remains Baltimore’s leading rusher this season with 764 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Following the news in regards to the NFL reportedly canceling the Bills-Bengals game, the Ravens would not be able to catch the Bengals (11-4) for the division lead.
