The Baltimore Ravens added Lamar Jackson to Thursday's injury report but it doesn't look to be anything serious. Jackson was limited with a knee injury and some rest. It's not expected to impact him for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He's had some practice time off these last few weeks but he hasn't missed a start. He's been one of the best quarterbacks in the league this season and is one of the top favorites to win the NFL's MVP Award. He has thrown for 2,669 yards and has 24 touchdowns with only two interceptions.
He's the biggest reason why the Ravens are 7-3 and are one of the top teams in the AFC. Ron Jenkins/Getty Images He'll be facing a Steelers team that has given him some trouble since he came into the league. The Steelers are the only team that has been able to slow him down and part of that is the way they gameplan against him.
In six games against the Steelers, Jackson is 2-4 with 870 yards through the air, four touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Last year was his first start against them in two years since he's been banged up at times when the Steelers have come up on the schedule. The Ravens are a half-game behind the Steelers in the AFC North so whoever wins this game will be first in the division heading into the next week's worth of games.
This is the first of two matchups between the two teams, with the first game in Pittsburgh (this Sunday) while the second will be in Baltimore on December 21. This is arguably the greatest rivalry in football and another chapter of it will be written once this game ends. Kickoff will be at 1 p.
m. ET on CBS. Ian Eagle and Charles Davis will have the call.
