The Ravens and the Packers are dealing with injuries to their starting quarterbacks ahead of their Week 17 matchup.
The Baltimore Ravens and the Green Bay Packers are both dealing with injuries to their starting quarterbacks ahead of their matchup on Saturday night. Both teams held walk-throughs so their injury statuses are estimations.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson went down with a back injury just before halftime of Sunday night’s loss to the Patriots. Predictably, he was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday’s injury report. He has often gotten the first practice of the week off this year, largely for rest, but his back contusion is a serious threat to sideline him this weekend. He was clearly in pain after the game and has one less day than usual to prepare.
The Packers listed quarterback Jordan Love as a limited participant at Tuesday’s practice. He is dealing with a shoulder injury and a concussion; the latter knocked him out of Green Bay’s loss to the Bears on Saturday night. Love’s limited status indicates that he has progressed to Phase 3 or further in the NFL’s concussion protocol. While he has also one less day to recover, he seems to have a chance to clear protocol in time to play.
Here is the Ravens’ Tuesday injury report:
