The Baltimore Ravens confirmed on Sunday evening that Lamar Jackson’s knee injury will not rule him out of action for the rest of the season.
“It’s going to be a number [of] days to weeks. We’ll see,” Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said after the team’s 10-9 victory over the Denver Broncos. “We’ll see if he can go back this week. If not, it’ll be sometime after that shortly.”
Harbaugh added that Jackson will undergo further testing on Monday and that the team would know by Wednesday how long he will be sidelined.
Jackson was injured while trying to elude the pass rush during the victory over the Broncos. Last year, he was also injured in December, with the Ravens sitting atop the AFC North standings then as well.
Filling in for Jackson was backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who led a game-winning, 91-yard drive in the final minutes of regulation time. He finished the game 27-of-32 for 187 yards with one interception. According to Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, Huntley has exhibited plenty of confidence as well as the composure he needs to fill in for Jackson.
