The Baltimore Ravens are in a bit of a predicament right now. Theyāre set to face the red-hot Cincinnati Bengals for the Wild Card Weekend, yet they wonāt have Lamar Jacksonā or even his backupā on the field.
Jackson suffered a knee injury over a month and a half ago. Heās missed the past five games, and to make things even worse, he hasnāt even been able to take the field to practice over that span.
Their season is hanging off a thread, but obviously, Jacksonās health is their no. 1 priority, especially as he could become a free agent. Thatās why the former MVP took to Twitter to provide an update on his condition.
NFL News: Lamar Jackson Shares Big Update On Knee Injury
āThank you everyone for your support and concerns regarding my injuries,ā Jackson tweeted. āI want to give you all an update as I am in the recovery process. Iāve suffered a PCL grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3.ā
āThere is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee remains unstable. Iām still in good spirits, as I continue with treatments on the road to recovery. I wish I could be out there with my guys more than anything but I canāt give a 100% of myself to my guys and fans Iām still hopeful we still have a chance,ā the tweet added.
Of course, thatās the last thing you want to read if youāre a Ravens fan. Joe Burrow and the Bengals already got an easy win against them in the season finale, and they should find little-to-no trouble beating them again this time around.
As for Jackson, heās yet to strike a new deal with the Ravens. The team has been reluctant to meet his market value, and this concerning knee injury might just make things more difficult. Maybe, heās played his last snap as a Raven already.
