Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back/knee) is nicked up, but he’s ready to go on Sunday vs. the Denver Broncos. The two-time MVP is having yet another standout season, with 17 touchdown tosses against two picks and 6.2 yards-per-carry on the ground.
Jackson missed two practices before returning on Friday, but he feels good, via The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec.
“Lamar Jackson said he was just resting his body. There was never a doubt he was going to play Sunday,” Zrebiec reported.
“Just trying to get my body right, keep it fresh,” Jackson confirmed.
Jackson and the 5-3 Ravens are one game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers for first place in the AFC North. Baltimore can breathe a sigh of relief for now, as it can ill-afford to lose the two-time first-team All-Pro.
Ravens head coach Jon Harbaugh confirmed the good news, via Zrebiec.
“He’ll be ready to go. I’m not worried about it,” the 62-year-old said.
