Ravens defender Lamar Jackson could play on Sunday.
Jackson picked up an injury in the second half of the Ravens’ 24-22 loss to the Browns and was taken off the field. Before the second half of the match started, Ravens writer Jeff Zrebiec confirmed that Jackson would not return to the field. After further evaluation of the injury on Monday, coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Jackson suffered a low ankle sprain.

Harbaugh confirmed the news after Raven’s practice session on Monday. When he was asked about Jackson’s readiness for the next game in Green Bay, Harbaugh said he has plans to have Jackson return and that, “We’ll see where it goes this week.”
Before being pushed off the field, Jackson completed four 17-yard passes and dashed for five yards. The 2019 MVP also leads Raven with 767 yards of dash in 12 games. He missed the Ravens’ 16-13 win over the Bears in November because of illness.
Despite the loss to the Browns, Raven (8-5) still top the AFC North. They will, however, face their challenge in Week 15 when they head to Wisconsin to face the Packers (10-3), who are at the top in NFC North. Forecast for the match, according to The most recent update from the National Weather Service, is said to be partly sunny with a peak of 28 degrees.
Tyler Huntley replaced Jackson in the second half of Sunday and completed 27 270-yard passes and a touchdown. He connected with Mark Andrews tight finish in 115 meters and a score. If Jackson is sidelined, Huntley will take over again and lead the Ravens against the Packers. Harbaugh will provide an update on the midfielder’s official status later in the week.
