Ravens reveal Lamar Jackson’s Wild Card Status
The Baltimore Ravens clarified Lamar Jackson’s Wild Card status this weekend. The All-Pro quarterback injured his knee in Week 13. Jackson was trying to return for the playoffs. The Ravens would have a tough road against a divisional rival and defending AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night.
Jackson provided a cryptic update on Thursday via Twitter:
Thank you everyone for your support and concerns regarding my injuries. I want to give you all an update as I am in the recovery process. I’ve suffered a PCL grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3. There is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee remains unstable. I’m 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 can’t give a 100% of myself to my guys and fans I’m still hopeful we still have a chance.
