Lamar Jackson Ruled Out for Game vs. Broncos With Knee Injury

Ravens backup Tyler Huntley took over for the former MVP.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Broncos with a knee injury, the team announced at halftime.

Jackson came up hobbling after he was sacked by Denver linebacker Jonathon Cooper on the final play of the first quarter. He left the field and went into the injury tent on Baltimore’s sideline and did not come back out onto the field when the second quarter began. 

Shortly afterward, Jackson went back to the team’s locker room, and the Ravens announced he was questionable to return. 

Backup Tyler Huntley relieved the injured Jackson. After trailing at the half, Huntley led the Ravens (8–4) on a 91-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter to upend the Broncos (3–9) with a 10–9 win.

After the game, Ravens coach John Harbaugh told reporters that Jackson is “days to weeks” from returning. He added that Jackson won’t miss the rest of the season and will undergo further testing Monday.

Jackson, now in his fifth season with Baltimore, had thrown for 2,231 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions coming into Sunday’s game. He’s also continued to be dynamic in the Ravens’ running game, having rushed for 755 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games. 

Baltimore ruled Jackson out after he’d completed three of four passes for 11 yards in addition to rushing once for nine yards.
