Ravens QB Lamar Jackson expected to play vs. Broncos
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is listed as questionable but should be good enough to face the Denver Broncos on Sunday, a source told NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.
Jackson didn’t train on Wednesday and Thursday due to a back injury, but returned fully to training on Friday.
For three games this season, Jackson averages 254 yards per game, with three pass touchdowns and three interceptions. He’s also stormed 251 yards, averaging 7.2 yards per carry, and scored two roaring touchdowns.
In a match of former Louisville quarterbacks, Jackson and the Ravens (2-1) travel to Denver to take on Teddy Bridgewater and the undefeated Broncos at 4:25 p.m. ET.
