Lamar Jackson injury update
According to recent reports about the injury, Lamar Jackson may not feature for the Ravens till Christmas eve. He is suffering from a sprained PCL injury in his knee, and it normally takes 1-3 weeks to heal.
The Ravens QB is on the doubtful list for the week 14 matchup against divisional rivals Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. While Jackson is almost certain to miss out on the game due to his injury, he might definitely be out for next week’s clash with the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens’ Flock hopes that he can return next week, but it is still a long shot.
Jackson picked up the injury during the team’s Week 13 clash against the Denver Broncos. He left the game in the first quarter and his absence was felt in the way the team performed. Although they got the win, it didn’t look like the Baltimore offense the fans have grown accustomed to.
The latest crisis comes just two weeks after Jackson courted controversy over a tweet after a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The tweet issue
After the Week 12 loss to the Jaguars, Lamar Jackson replied to a tweet by a fan who urged the Ravens to not give the QB a big-money extension. Fresh off the loss, Jackson went off the rails a little with a graphic reply.
“Boy STFU y’all be cappin too much on this app mf never smelt a football field,” he said … before ending the tweet with, “never did s*** but eat a d***,” Jackson wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

The Ravens QB later apologized for the tweet saying that he was bitter about the loss that day. “I apologize if I hurt feelings out there,” Jackson said five days after the initial tweet.

The injury added to Jackson’s frustration just days after the apology. Now missing out on important games will certainly not make the Ravens QB happy. Can he make a quick comeback and lead his team to the playoffs?
