Lamar Jackson reveals his Week 18 status vs. Steelers

1 week ago 2

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s status for this Sunday’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers has been closely monitored throughout the week, and the talented quarterback just set the record straight — he’s playing in Week 18.

Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Jackson was asked if he’d play against Pittsburgh, and his response left zero doubt about his availability.

“Yeah, 100%,” Jackson said about playing this Sunday.

Jackson suffered his back injury against the New England Patriots in Week 16 and was subsequently ruled out, missing the Ravens’ win over the Green Bay Packers the following game.

Jackson’s availability should have Pittsburgh’s defense foaming at the mouth. However, while the talented quarterback is one of the greatest of his generation, the Steelers have proven themselves to be his kryptonite throughout his eight-year career.
