Injured Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson may still make a return to action during the postseason, offensive coordinator Greg Roman claimed. The player has been sidelined for over a month with a sprained knee.
“He’s a special guy,” Roman said of Jackson following Thursday’s team practice. “I think if somebody’s got a chance to do it, he does.”
Jackson injured his knee on December 4 and has been unable to return to the field ever since. He has missed 14 consecutive training sessions since his injury.
Without Jackson at the helm, the Ravens have dropped in form, averaging 12.3 points per game in his absence while scoring just three touchdowns—the worst in the league.
Fortunately for the team, they were able to qualify for the playoffs with a 17-9 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. They have struggled to remain consistent, however, losing two of their last four games, including a 16-13 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.
Since Jackson incurred his injury, the Ravens have been unable to provide a definite timeline for his recovery. When asked about the player’s potential return this season, coach John Harbaugh offered other insight except to say that he expects the player to return at some point during the postseason.
