Dec 22, 2025

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson tried to do what he could to return to Sunday night’s game, but was unable to do so after he was kneed in the back late in the second quarter.

But he told reporters after the loss that his goal is to play Saturday’s Week 17 matchup against the Packers.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson is getting an MRI Monday. He said in the story his legs felt great, but was unable to continue because of the back injury. He tried to throw in the locker room but was in too much pain.

Vikings J.J. McCarthy has a right hand injury and will get an MRI.

Related players Max Brosmer

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said X-rays were negative, but he will get an MRI to see if there is any other damage, or if it might be just a bruise. If McCarthy can't go in Week 17, Brosmer would get his second start. Of course, we all remember his first start. But, Brosmer was 7 for 9 for 52 yards in relief of McCarthy in Week 16.
