Lamar Jackson sat out Wednesday’s practice with a back contusion that has put his status for Saturday night in jeopardy. Jackson and DeAndre Hopkins (rest) were the only players to miss practice on Thursday. And if he can’t play, Tyler Huntley would get the start at quarterback in a must-win scenario. The Ravens (7-8) are hanging on to their playoff chances and will need to defeat the Packers on the road in Green Bay. Jackson exited Sunday night’s loss to New England with a back injury, and on Monday, head coach John Harbaugh listed him as day-to-day with a contusion.

Jackson told reporters after the loss that his goal was to play in Saturday’s must-win Week 17 matchup against the Packers at Lambeau Field.
“My legs felt great. I just got kneed in the back in the red zone. I just couldn’t finish the game,” Jackson said postgame, via the Ravens official website. “I was trying. I [got] a Toradol shot and stuff like that, but it still didn’t get [any] better.”
Jackson was 7-10 passing for 101 yards and a 102.5 rating before exiting. Jackson has dealt with knee, ankle, and toe injuries this season and hasn’t had a whole week of practice since the bye week.
Overall, Jackson has thrown for 2,311 yards with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions, while rising for just 340 yards with two scores and a 63.7 percent completion percentage.
