Lamar Jackson (born January 7, 1997) is an American football quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL).

UPDATE: Lamar Jackson (knee), who will miss his third straight game Saturday against the Falcons, is expected to get back on the field early next week and resume taking part in “football-related movements,” with the Ravens then set to determine whether he’s fit to start practicing, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jackson hasn’t practiced in any capacity since suffering a PCL sprain in his left knee in Baltimore’s Week 13 win over Denver, so his availability is uncertain until he can resume taking reps.
Though the Ravens believe Jackson will be able to play against the Steelers in Week 17 if he is able to practice in some capacity, the dual-threat quarterback must first demonstrate that his knee does not hinder him when he stops, starts, and cuts before being reintegrated into drills.
At this point, Rapoport reports that Jackson has responded well to running in a straight line and on the treadmill but getting back on the field remains a challenge. Tyler Huntley (shoulder) is on track to make his third straight start this weekend and will almost certainly continue to lead the Baltimore offense if Jackson is out for an extended period of time.
