Lamar Jackson unlikely to play in Baltimore's game vs. Pittsburgh because of knee injury
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that starting quarterback Lamar Jackson likely will miss the team's Week 14 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers because of a knee injury he suffered during Sunday's win against Denver.
"I would say it's kind of week to week," Harbaugh said Monday of Jackson's knee sprain. "It's probably less likely for this week, but it's not impossible. And then after that it'll become more and more likely (that he'll return)."
Jackson exited the game with the injury and did not return. He was replaced by Tyler Huntley. Harbaugh said after the game that Jackson's injury isn't expected to end his season, but could keep him out of action for a matter of days or weeks.
On Monday, the Ravens signed quarterback Brett Hundley.
Baltimore needed a last-minute touchdown Sunday to rally past the Broncos and move temporarily into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. The Bengals later joined the Ravens at 8-4 with their 27-24 win against Kansas City.
Baltimore currently owns the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Bengals - if they finish the season with the same record - because of a 19-17 win in Baltimore earlier this season. The two teams are scheduled to meet again in Cincinnati in the final game of the regular season.
Only the first-round seed in each conference gets a first-round bye in the NFL postseason.
