Lamar Jackson wasn’t on the sideline for Baltimore’s playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Just before the game kicked off, NBC’s Melissa Stark reported that Jackson didn’t travel with the team to Cincinnati. Him being inactive was expected, but everybody assumed he would at least be on the sidelines to cheer on his team, which he had been doing during the regular season.

His absence is glaring giving that he is headed into the offseason hoping to get the contract he deserves.

Social media ripped him a new one:

Ravens fans wanna defend Lamar Jackson with their lives but need to face the truth that he’s a part of the problem. Hard to feel good energy as a team when your “leader” said fuck you and didn’t show up for his brothers.

@Lj_era8 you couldn’t even be available on the sideline to help your guys? Be there to hype the boys and show support? I thought you where for the team and the fact your not out there makes me question the fact you’re already looking to leave @Ravens

@Lj_era8 how can you take this dude serious as a teammate when he won’t even travel with the team to show his support. Dude could be playing next week, it’s not like he’s on crutches and would jeopardize his future by….moving. How do you not travel and be of moral support?

Jackson injured his left knee on Dec. 4 against the Denver Broncos and hasn’t played a game since. Jackson remained sidelined for the rest of the regular season as the Ravens went 2-3 in his absence while fighting for playoff positioning.

Jackson’s been seen on the Ravens’ sideline while injured, including during a road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 11. But he wasn’t on Sunday as his future with the franchise remains murky.

This is not a good look if the team moves on from this game and advances.
