A challenging year in Baltimore looks set to get even harder with today’s news.Two-time MVP Lamar Jackson did not practice on Thursday due to an ankle injury. He went through the motions on Wednesday but was limited, casting doubt on his availability for the team’s upcoming important game against AFC North rivals Pittsburgh.The upcoming game on Sunday is the biggest game of the year for both the Ravens and Steelers, as they sit tied atop the division with identical 6-6 records. Per NFL analytics, this is the biggest swing game in terms of playoff implications so far in 2025, as the winner will soar into a dominant position to make the postseason, while the loser will need help not only to regain the division lead but also to make the playoffs.Jackson has had the most difficult season of his NFL career this year, as he’s been sidelined by multiple ailments. A hamstring injury kept him out for numerous weeks, and now his ankle has been holding him back from being 100% on the field. It is the fourth straight week that Jackson has missed at least a full day of practice because of some injury.If Jackson cannot play on Sunday, Tyler Huntley is slated to be the team’s starting quarterback.
