Lamar Jackson Misses Second Day Due to Back Contusion

Lamar Jackson is sidelined once again as the Baltimore Ravens prepare for an essential matchup against the Green Bay Packers. This marks the second consecutive day he has missed practice due to a back contusion. Jackson has previously dealt with injuries throughout the season, including knee, ankle, and toe issues.

Lamar Jackson’s Injury Status

Despite missing just a single practice each week for the last six weeks, Jackson’s current situation is more concerning. He has been experiencing challenges in recovering from his recent back injury. If Jackson cannot participate in the game, Tyler Huntley is positioned to start. Huntley displayed his capabilities by winning his only appearance of the season against the Chicago Bears during Week 8.

Ravens’ Other Injury Updates

As of Christmas Eve, Jackson remains the sole player on the injury report for the Ravens. Other players, including cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (foot), running back Keaton Mitchell (calf), and left guard Andrew Vorhees (foot), participated but were limited during Tuesday’s walk-through.

Green Bay Packers’ Quarterback Situation

The Packers also face their share of injury concerns. Quarterback Jordan Love, currently recovering from a concussion, has been practicing but it is uncertain if he is fully fit to play. Meanwhile, backup quarterback Malik Willis is not participating in practice due to illness, as confirmed by Head Coach Matt Lafleur.

• Lamar Jackson: Missing practice for a second day due to a back contusion.
• Tyler Huntley: Next in line to start if Jackson is unavailable.
• Other Ravens Players Limited:
  • Chidobe Awuzie (foot)
  • Keaton Mitchell (calf)
  • Andrew Vorhees (foot)
• Green Bay’s Situation:
  • Jordan Love: Practicing; participation level TBD.
  • Malik Willis: Not practicing due to illness.

As both teams navigate their injury challenges, the upcoming game holds significant implications for their playoff aspirations. The Ravens will hope for Jackson’s swift recovery as they aim for victory against the Packers.
