Ravens' Jackson (back) doubtful for must-win game at Green Bay - ESPN

It looks as if the Baltimore Ravens will be without quarterback Lamar Jackson for Saturday's must-win game at the Green Bay Packers.

Jackson is listed as doubtful after not practicing all week with a back contusion, which knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots. The Ravens (7-8), who have made the postseason the past three seasons, could be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss in Green Bay.

If Jackson can't play, Baltimore will turn to backup Tyler Huntley to try to help save its season. The Ravens are 5-12, including the postseason, without Jackson since he joined the league in 2018, but they beat the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears earlier this season in Huntley's only start.

«A lot of our games have been must-win [games], and every week we must win, so we have to focus on going 1-0 this week,» Huntley said. «If we're doing everything that we need to do, we'll get that.»

The Ravens have typically been a different team with and without Jackson. When the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player is the starting quarterback, Baltimore is 79-35 (.693), including the playoffs, and averages 27.7 points per game. Without him, the Ravens' scoring drops to 16.2 points per game.

Baltimore had lost six straight games without Jackson until Huntley helped the Ravens to a 30-16 victory over the Bears on Oct. 26.

«He goes out like he's the starter,» Ravens running back Derrick Henry said of Huntley. «He practices that way, and he prepares that way. So yes, if 'Snoop' [Huntley] is going to go out there, he's going to roll and do what he has to do.»

In addition to trying to recover from a back contusion, Jackson is dealing with a report about his work ethic and relationship with coach John Harbaugh.
