Lamar Jackson won’t be healthy enough to start the Baltimore Ravens’ game Sunday against the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers.
The former MVP quarterback was absent from practice all week as he continues to recover from a knee injury.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the news, saying, “Looks like it’s going to be Tyler on Sunday.”
Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is in line to start against Pittsburgh
Last week, starter Lamar Jackson hurt his knee and was forced to leave the rest of the game.
Jackson is officially listed as doubtful for the game, but signs are pointing to Huntley taking plays on Sunday.
Baltimore has lost five of the last six games in which Lamar Jackson has not started with a current four-game losing streak.
The Ravens are currently in the top spot in the AFC North, with ESPN’s Football Power Index giving them a 74 percent chance of winning the division if they beat the Steelers.
Huntley replaced Jackson, completed 84 percent of his passes and ran for the winner.
If Baltimore loses, the advantage would likely go to the Cincinnati Bengals, who have a favorable matchup this weekend against the Cleveland Browns.
Huntley replaced Jackson after he went down last week against the Broncos. He completed 84 percent of his passes for 187 yards and rushed for 41 yards and the game-winning touchdown.
This is Huntley’s third NFL season away from the University of Utah. He appeared in seven games last season after Jackson was injured, compiling a 2-5 record.
