The Baltimore Ravens may be without star quarterback Lamar Jackson over the next two games, league sources reported on Sunday. This comes as the player is reportedly battling a knee injury.
Jackson has been officially listed as doubtful by the Ravens as he recovers from a sprained PCL; an injury which is typically expected to have a one to three-week recovery time.
In addition to Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the starting quarterback is also expected to miss next week’s game against the Cleveland Brown. Should he be rested during his recovery, the earliest that Jackson would be expected to return to the field would be Baltimore’s game on Christmas Eve against the Atlanta Falcons.
Along with Jackson, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott also incurred a PCL injury last season. Upon deciding to play through his injury, Elliot’s performance dropped notably. Cowboys teammate Dalton Schultz also incurred a PCL injury earlier this season, with his performance also dipping as a result. New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson missed four games earlier this season due to the same injury.
Ahead of Sunday’s game against the Steelers, the Ravens find themselves on top of the AFC North with an 8-4 record.
