Lamar Jackson may be progressing with his health, but he still isn’t quite ready to make his way back to the field. Another week and it looks like another start for Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley. With Lamar Jackson still sidelined from practice due to a knee injury, head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Friday.
On Friday, the Ravens officially ruled out Jackson for this weekend’s game against the Steelers.
Asked if Tyler Huntley would start against the Steelers, Harbaugh said after Friday’s practice: “It’s probably a fair assumption. You can assume that.”
Jackson last saw action on December 4th against the Broncos. He will now miss his fourth straight game.
Huntley has started all four of those games and has kept Baltimore alive in the race for the AFC North title despite the team struggling to score points.

With Baltimore previously clinching a playoff berth, it has taken some of the urgency away from getting Jackson back onto the field.
The Ravens, with a record of 10-5, can win their first division title in three years if they win their final two games. This weekend, they host the Steelers and finish out the regular season at the Cincinnati Bengals.
