When Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a knee injury last month, he was initially expected to miss between one and three games and was certainly expected to be ready for the playoffs. But after missing the last five games of the regular season, he’s set to miss Sunday’s Wild Card round game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Lamar Jackson and head coach John Harbaugh have been relatively silent regarding Jackson’s injury, but now Jackson is providing his own update.
“Thank you everyone for your support and concerns regarding my injuries,” Jackson said on Twitter. “I want to give you all an update as I am in the recovery process. I’ve suffered a PCL grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3. There is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee remains unstable. I’m still in good spirits, as I continue with treatments on the road to recovery. I wish I could be out there with my guys more than anything but I can’t give a 100% of myself to my guys and fans I’m still hopeful we still have a chance.”
Without Jackson, the Ravens will likely turn to backup quarterback Tyler Huntley against the Bengals, if he’s healthy enough to play. If both Jackson and Huntley are out, the Ravens will be left with rookie quarterback Anthony Brown.
