Will Lamar Jackson play in Week 18? Ravens give concerning update on injured QB

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is still in doubt for the Week 18 winner-take-all game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Having suffered a back injury in the loss to the New England Patriots, it has been the Tyler Huntley show for Baltimore, as he led a stirring 41-24 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 17.

But now that the AFC North and Baltimore's entire season are effectively on the line, the franchise will want to have the two-time MVP winner on the field.

But going by John Harbaugh's comments on Monday, that is far from a sure thing.

"Well, it's to be determined," Harbaugh said. "He's coming off a very serious injury, and he's working at it. Saw him in here today working at it. So, I think we'll know a lot more on Wednesday."

The fact that, after a 1-5 start, the Ravens have a chance to win the division is incredible.

And as odd as it sounds, after seeing what Huntley did against the Packers in their own building, the Ravens will have confidence in him if Lamar isn't able to go.

Still, having Jackson is the far better option, but as Harbaugh says, it is a little early in the week to honestly assess where Lamar is in his rehab.

It comes down to one game to decide an entire season.

On the road, in Pittsburgh, against a fierce rival.
