Jackson, who has 2,311 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 101.4 passer rating this season, has had a terrible time with injuries in 2025.
He missed three games earlier in the season with a hamstring injury and has sat out practice in recent weeks with ankle, toe and knee issues.
That carries over to the field, which is best seen in Jackson’s rush. The two-time MVP excels at shredding defenses’ best-laid plans with big gains, but this campaign has made him seem wary of fully committing to the top spot after all the maladies. He now has 63 rushing attempts for 340 yards, both career lows by quite a margin, and his 5.4 yards per carry would mark his lowest output since his rookie year.
Nevertheless, having Jackson under center is important if he can function properly.
The Ravens are up against it, with a loss to Green Bay, which is dealing with its own QB questions this week as Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion) is questionable, all but certain to miss the playoffs. Even with a win, they could be eliminated on Sunday if the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns. If both Week 17 results go Baltimore’s way, it would set up a Week 18 showdown for the AFC North between the Ravens and Steelers.
It’s crunch time, and their QB position is up in the air.
Baltimore and Green Bay kick off Saturday at 8:00 PM ET.
