Lamar Jackson will not return from his knee injury on Sunday and will miss his team’s wild-card matchup against the Bengals, the Ravens announced Friday.
Baltimore, who has been without Jackson since Week 13, will be without its star quarterback for the sixth game in a row. The game is not only important for the Ravens’ postseason run but also for Jackson’s future with the franchise.
Jackson had implied earlier in the week that he would miss the game against the Bengals when he revealed in a tweet that he still had inflammation around his knee and that his knee remained unstable. Ravens coach John Harbaugh did not comment on the quarterback’s tweet or availability when speaking to reporters earlier Friday.
