Lamar Jackson misses practice again, questionable for Sunday

Baltimore star Lamar Jackson missed practice again because of his injured ankle, and the Ravens listed him as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams

DECEMBER 31, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Officially questionable for Week 17 Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after not practicing Thursday or Friday.

Impact Head coach John Harbaugh noted Friday that Jackson "has a chance to play" in the contest, but if that doesn't happen, Tyler Huntley, who came off the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, is available to fill in as the starting quarterback. Look for added context with regard to Jackson's Week 17 status to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday ahead of the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Could play Sunday, per Harbaugh Coach John Harbaugh noted Friday that Jackson (ankle) "has a chance to play on Sunday (against the Rams), we'll have to see."

Impact Harbaugh's words imply that Jackson, who didn't practice Thursday or Friday, is likely to be listed as questionable on the Ravens' final Week 17 injury report. If Jackson is unable to play this weekend, however, Tyler Huntley is available to fill in at QB now that he's off the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Not practicing Friday Jackson (ankle) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact While it remains to be seen how the Ravens will officially list Jackson on Friday's final injury report, Zrebiec suggests that at this stage Tyler Huntley seems likely to start at QB for Baltimore against the Rams on Sunday.

Not practicing Thursday Jackson (ankle) isn't practicing Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As Hensley notes, this comes a day after Jackson was limping badly during Wednesday's session. Now that he's off the reserve/COVID-19 list, Tyler Huntley is expected to handle the Ravens' first-team QB reps Thursday. In light of Jackson's absence, what he's able to do Friday will be telling with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Rams, but now that Huntley is back in the mix, Baltimore's signal-caller situation is less taxed that this past weekend, when Josh Johnson drew a spot start and Kenji Bahar served as his backup.

Limping in return to practice Jackson (ankle) had a "pronounced limp" Wednesday in his return to a limited practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hensley was one of at least three Baltimore beat reporters to mention the limp, with Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun adding that Jackson relied on his upper body rather than legs/base for arm strength, while Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic notes that the QB didn't move much and limped when he did. None of that means Jackson won't make it back for Sunday's game against the Rams, but it does at least suggest his mobility will be limited if he plays. Meanwhile, backup QB Tyler Huntley is still on the COVID list, leaving Week 16 starter Josh Johnson as the only healthy signal-caller at Wednesday's practice.

Limited practice expected Jackson (ankle) is expected to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Jackson hasn't suited up since Week 14, but his looming return to practice has him trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Rams approaches. For now, Tyler Huntley remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, so Week 16 starter Josh Johnson remains Baltimore's healthiest available signal caller ahead of the team's contest against Los Angeles.

May practice Wednesday Jackson (ankle) has a chance to practice Wednesday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports. "I'm looking forward to that," coach John Harbaugh said Monday.

Impact Harbaugh expressed hope that all of Jackson, Tyler Huntley (illness) and Josh Johnson are on the field to begin Week 17 prep. Jackson hasn't practiced at all since suffering a sprained right ankle Dec. 12 at Cleveland, while Huntley landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. That combination gave the journeyman Johnson a spot start this past Sunday in Cincinnati, and he took advantage of the opportunity by completing 28 of 40 passes for 304 yards, two touchdowns and one interception and rushing five times for 10 yards. How practice breaks down between the three will determine who is under center versus the Rams, but a healthy Jackson would get the nod in any scenario.
