Needless to say, everyone saw it coming. On Thursday, Lamar Jackson himself gave an update on the condition of his knee on Twitter. And the news is not good.
“Thank you all for the support and your concerns about my injury. I want to update you as I recover. I suffered from a level 2, almost level 3 posterior cruciate ligament sprain. There is still inflammation around the knee, and my knee remains unstable. I still have a positive spirit and I continue my treatment. I wish I could have been with my guys more than anything, but I can’t give 100% for them and my supporters. I still have hope that we have a chance. »
The Ravens have yet to officially confirm Jackson’s forfeit, but the final sentences of his post leave no room for doubt.
The franchise simply confirmed that the former MVP did not practice on Thursday. The good news is that Tyler Huntley, his understudy, is back to passing the ball. He was out the day before with tendonitis in his shoulder and a wrist injury. John Harbaugh has told reporters that Huntley is on schedule to play.
Another return is that of Gus Edwards, who is coming back from a concussion and has still not been given the green light for contacts and competition.
At the quarterback position, in any case, it will therefore be necessary to do without Jackson, touched in the knee in Week 13 and not seen on the ground since.
