Team news: Baltimore Ravens

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is listed as doubtful for Saturday night’s game at Green Bay. If Jackson cannot play, Ravens QB Tyler Huntley would start.

A season of lingering injuries is culminating in bad timing for both fantasy players and the Baltimore Ravens alike. If Jackson is sidelined, Huntley can safely remain on waiver wires.

The Ravens held only a walk-through practice on Tuesday, but Lamar Jackson did not participate. The quarterback has a back contusion that kept him sidelined.

Coach John Harbaugh called Jackson day-to-day on Monday, a day after Jackson was kneed in the back.

Jackson was the only Ravens player listed as out of practice as the team began preparations for Saturday’s game against the Packers, the story said. The Ravens and Lamar are hopeful he can go in Week 17, after saying he couldn't return to the game in Week 16. While this isn't a great sign, there is still time for Jackson to get back on the practice field so be sure to monitor.

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.

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.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a bruise to his back late in the second quarter of Baltimore’s 28-24 loss to New England, head coach John Harbaugh told reporters in his postgame press conference.

It’s unclear how that will affect Jackson’s availability going forward, the story said. Harbaugh was quoted as saying it may take a couple of days to find out his status, and Jackson got kneed to the back. The story did add that Jackson was not in a position to play in the second half.

In ending a two-game losing streak, the Ravens (7-7) looked like a playoff team, recording their most complete performance of the season. And by throwing touchdown passes and running for first downs, Jackson took another step toward looking like his old self.

"I believe I told you guys early on in the week that I was feeling better, like Thursday," Jackson said. "I guess you guys had to see it to believe it."

Jackson's final numbers were pedestrian. He recorded the fewest completions of his eight-year career in a full game, connecting on 8-of-12 passes for 150 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Jackson's production lately has dipped in tandem with his reduced practice time, the story pointed out. He has missed at least one full practice in each of the past five games, sitting out for the most part because of injuries (knee, ankle and toe), the story continued. While his numbers last week weren't what fantasy owners have become used to, he was producing touchdowns again. Hopefully those who played Lamar in Week 15 have advanced in the playoffs. The Ravens and Jackson get the Patriots in Week 16.

Mark Andrew has not game status and is good to go. Rashod Bateman is questionable.

The Bengals defense has been so poor against the tight end position, that both Andrews and Likely couldn't legitimately put up top-15 numbers in Week 15.

If Bateman ends up missing, Hopkins could be considered up closer to the WR4/5 range, but there should be better options out there.

Lamar Jackson has returned to practice and is on track to play Sunday vs. the Steelers.

Without looking, it seems like Jackson has missed at least one practice every week of the season, so we shouldn't have been too worried about his ability to start Week 14. With that said, his long list of ailments has absolutely capped his 2025 ceiling, particularly in the running game. He's still a QB1, but not in that top-3 range we've become accustomed to.

QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is NOT practicing after he was limited yesterday. So much for that full week of practice for the Ravens QB.

NT Travis Jones also not practicing.

Ravens RB Justice Hill will be out three to four weeks with a neck injury, coach John Harbaugh said.

Related players: Derrick Henry, Keaton Mitchell, Rasheen Ali

Ali played 48% of snaps last Thursday and touched the ball four times for 17 rushing yards. Mitchell played on just 13% of snaps and also touched the ball four times but produced two catches for 12 yards and a rushing touchdown for a pretty decent fantasy day for his touches. The snaps say to pick up Ali but it could be Mitchell who starts to get more work, and we already know he can produce with limited touches, dating back to 2023.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has another injured body part.

Jackson, who missed more than a month earlier this season with a hamstring injury, has recently been listed on the injury report with knee and ankle injuries.

On the Monday report in advance of Thursday’s game against the Bengals, Jackson has a toe injury.

He would not have participated in practice, if the Ravens had conducted a full practice. It was a walk-through. Jackson hasn't looked the same since his return and now seems to be collecting more lower body injuries. It's a really juicy matchup against the Bengals on Thursday night, and with the return of Joe Burrow for the Bengals, the Ravens may have no choice but to put up points.
