Ravens’ Lamar Jackson Faces Uncertain Sunday Start Against Bears
Lamar Jackson, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, faces an uncertain status for the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears. Since he became the team’s full-time starter in 2019, the Ravens have experienced significant challenges when he is absent. They have recorded a dismal 5-12 record without him.
Lamar Jackson’s Performance This Season
This season, Jackson has played in four games. He holds a record of 1-3 with notable statistics:
- Passing yards: 869
- Completion rate: 71.6% (68 of 95 passes)
- Touchdowns: 10
- Interceptions: 1
- Rushing yards: 166 (21 attempts)
- Rushing touchdowns: 1
Recent Quarterback Struggles
With Jackson’s absence due to injury, Tyler Huntley has stepped in as the starting quarterback. However, his performance has been underwhelming. In his last two games, Huntley completed 34 of 52 passes for just 303 yards, without any touchdowns and four interceptions.
Backup Quarterback Situation
Huntley was signed by the Ravens after being released by the Cleveland Browns earlier this summer. He has prior experience backing up Jackson and has a career record of 5-9 as a starter. His experience includes:
- Five starts with the Miami Dolphins in 2024
- Three starts with the Ravens from 2021-2023 (3-6 record)
The Ravens are awaiting further updates on Jackson’s injury, which has kept his availability shrouded in uncertainty. Fans and analysts will likely not know his status until just before kick-off on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
