The Baltimore Ravens will be without Lamar Jackson for a third straight game, as Tyler Huntley will start Saturday against the Atlanta Falcons, coach John Harbaugh said.
Harbaugh expressed no concern over Huntley’s right shoulder injury, which limited him during Wednesday’s practice.
Baltimore (9-5) can clinch a playoff berth Saturday with a win over Atlanta and a combination of two losses from three AFC East teams (the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots).
Jackson, who has been sidelined by a knee injury, hasn’t returned to practice this week like many expected.
The Ravens lost 13-3 to the Cleveland Browns last week, scoring their fewest points in a regular-season game in 14 years and failing to score a touchdown for the first time since 2018 (before Jackson became the starting quarterback).
Since Jackson’s injury — which occurred in the first quarter of Baltimore’s 10-9 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 13 — the Ravens have totaled two touchdowns in three games. The last time the Ravens recorded a touchdown pass was Nov. 27, when Jackson hit tight end Josh Oliver in Jacksonville.
Without Jackson, Baltimore has been held to 16 points or fewer in three straight games for the first time since 2000.
