GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Baltimore Ravens didn’t have two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson for their 41-24 win on Saturday night against the Green Bay Packers.
Jackson, who was listed as doubtful, was inactive after missing practice all week because of a back contusion. Baltimore (8-8) needed Saturday’s win to avoid being eliminated from postseason contention for the first time since 2021.
Tyler Huntley, who started in place of Jackson at quarterback, went 16-for-20 with 107 yards and a touchdown. In his other start this season, Huntley helped Baltimore to a win over the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears in October.
This was the fourth game that Jackson has missed this season. He was sidelined for three games in October because of a hamstring injury.
Jackson’s latest injury occurred late in the first half of Sunday’s 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots. Jackson left after being kneed in the back on a run and didn’t return in the second half.
