Massive yardage total in loss
Jackson completed 31 of 59 passes for 365 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Ravens' 28-12 divisional-round loss to the Titans on Saturday. He also rushed 20 times for 143 yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: From a fantasy perspective, Jackson could hardly have done more, as he complemented his typically stellar rushing numbers with equally impressive passing yardage. Jackson's tally through the air was actually a career best, but he ended up throwing a career-high 59 passes because the Ravens were unexpectedly behind for the entirety of the contest, often by more than one possession. The second-year quarterback's one fumble also led to a Tennessee points, as he coughed up the ball at his own…read more

Returns to field
Jackson (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson sat out practice Tuesday, but the QB has moved past a bout with the flu and will resume his preparations for the Ravens' Jan. 11 playoff opener versus an opponent to be determined by the results of this weekend's Wild Card round.

No practice Tuesday
Jackson (illness) did not practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Ravens were hoping Jackson would be able to get on the practice field Tuesday, but he ultimately was not able to. The team won't play again until Jan. 11 thanks to a first-round bye in the playoffs, so Jackson will have plenty of time to rest and recover before then.

Comes down with flu
Jackson has the flu, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It doesn't seem to be a serious case, considering Jackson was on the sideline for most of Sunday's 28-10 win over the Steelers. He and a few other key players were held out of the regular-season finale, with Baltimore preparing for a divisional-round playoff matchup against the Texans, Bills or Titans on Jan. 11. Coach John Harbaugh expects Jackson to participate in practice Tuesday, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.

Won't play Week 17
Coach John Harbaugh has ruled out Jackson for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson thus will end an MVP-worthy campaign having completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 3,127 yards, 36 touchdowns and six interceptions across 15 games. Moreover, he set the single-season rushing mark for quarterbacks with 1,206 yards to go with seven TDs on the ground. Jackson's absence thus will yield a spot start for Robert Griffin.

Bolsters MVP case with three TDs
Jackson completed 20 of 31 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-15 win over the Browns. He also rushed 17 times for 103 yards and fumbled twice, losing one.
Analysis: Jackson was quiet for most of the first half but came alive with touchdowns of 39 and 14 yards to tight end Mark Andrews in the final 1:18 before halftime. He added a 12-yard score to Mark Ingram in the third quarter to bring his season TD:INT to 36:6 through the air, including a 24:1 mark in the last seven games. Jackson has augmented that passing success with the best rushing campaign of all time for a quarterback, compiling 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. The win moved…read more

Submits record-breaking performance
Jackson (quadriceps) completed 15 of 23 passes for 212 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in the Ravens' 42-21 win over the Jets on Thursday. He also rushed eight times for 86 yards -- breaking Michael Vick's single-season rushing record for a quarterback in the process -- and committed a fumble but recovered.
Analysis: Jackson couldn't have drawn up a better script for his milestone night, as he also tied his career high with his five touchdown tosses in addition to surpassing Vick for the rushing mark. Just as impressive was the fact all five of Jackson's scoring throws went to different pass catchers -- Miles Boykin (five yards), Mark Andrews (one yard), Marquise Brown (24 yards), Seth Roberts (33 yards) and Mark Ingram (10 yards). Jackson has now thrown five touchdown passes on three separate occasions in…read more

Suiting up Thursday
Jackson (quadriceps) is listed as active Thursday against the Jets.
Analysis: The Ravens listed Jackson as a limited practice participant Monday and Tuesday before upgrading him to full participation Wednesday. The quarterback was never in danger of missing Thursday's game, but it's possible his quad injury inspires a game plan with fewer designed runs for the quarterback. Even so, Jackson is well positioned for another productive outing with the Ravens heavily favored to win.

Questionable, but expected to play
Jackson (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for the Thursday's game against the Jets, indicated earlier this week that he'll be able to play, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Players' comments about their own injuries should normally be taken with a grain of salt, but in Jackson's case, his optimism seems warranted. Not only was Jackson able to turn in a full practice Wednesday, but Mike Garafolo of NFL Network suggests that the quarterback is only carrying the questionable tag into the Week 15 contest because the NFL no longer authorizes a "probable" listing. Official confirmation of Jackson's availability will arrive upon the release of the Ravens' inactives in…read more

Officially questionable
Jackson (quadriceps) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Jets, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The quick turnaround for the Week 15 game hasn't given Jackson much time to move past the quad injury he picked up in Sunday's win over the Bills, but the star signal-caller appears to be trending toward playing Thursday, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. As evidence, Jackson was a full participant in the Ravens' practice Wednesday, a step forward after he began the week with back-to-back limited showings. Given the nature of the injury as well as the weakness of the opponent, the Ravens could…read more

Limited again Tuesday
Jackson (quadriceps) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: Jackson has been tabbed with the same listing on back-to-back estimated injury reports to start Week 15 prep. The Ravens are taking a "wait-and-see" approach with his quad injury, which he sustained on a low hit during this past Sunday's win in Buffalo. While he told Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic that he'll "be out there Thursday night" against the Jets, Jackson's status nonetheless will receive some clarity upon the release of Wednesday's practice report.

Throwing Tuesday
Jackson (quadriceps) threw during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach John Harbaugh told Zrebiec on Monday that the Ravens intend to take a "wait-and-see" approach with Jackson, who hurt his quad on a low hit during a Week 14 win at Buffalo. With some activity evident Tuesday, Jackson appears poised to match his 'limited' listing from Monday, at the very least. His level of participation will become clearer upon the release of Tuesday's injury report.

Ravens monitoring quad injury
Jackson hurt his quadriceps on a low hit Sunday at Buffalo, and the Ravens will take a "wait-and-see" approach with the injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Ravens have a quick turnaround with a game Thursday against the Jets, so the team merely held a walk-through Monday. Jackson himself took the field late during the portion of the session open to the media, which was enough for him to be listed as limited on the practice estimate, per Clifton Brown of the team's official site. The quarterback will have two more chances this week to elevate to full participation, but ultimately his listing on Wednesday's injury report will be telling for his…read more

Pops up on injury report
Jackson (quad) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimation, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hensley notes that Jackson "walked with a slight hitch when he entered the indoor field house" Monday, so Jackson's status is worth tracking in advance of Thursday night's game against the Jets. So far, however, there has been nothing to suggest that the QB's status for the contest is in any peril.

Accounts for three TDs vs. Bills
Jackson completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 145 yards, three touchdowns and one interception Sunday against the Bills. He also rushed 11 times for 40 yards in the 24-17 win.
Analysis: Jackson completed a respectable 64 percent of his passes, but he made just one completion longer than 15 yards as he finished averaging 5.8 yards per attempt. That happened to be on a 61-yard touchdown strike to Hayden Hurst, which he complemented with short scores to Nick Boyle and Willie Snead. Jackson's output on the ground also made him just the second quarterback in NFL history to surpass 1,000 rushing yards for a season alongside Michael Vick. He continues to provide plenty of value each…read more

Dominates with legs
Jackson completed 14 of 23 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown while rushing 16 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-17 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Jackson eclipsed 60 rushing yards for the 10th time in 12 games this season, including each of the past nine, and he became the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for over 100 yards four times in one season. He lost a fumble for the first time all season, marking his first turnover since Week 5, but Jackson also threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews and scored with his legs from one yard out. Despite throwing for a season-low 105 yards, Jackson still commanded the offense…read more

Puts on show versus Rams
Jackson completed 15 of 20 passes for 169 yards and five touchdowns in Monday night's 45-6 win over the Rams. He also rushed eight times for 95 yards.
Analysis: Jackson turned in a dazzling display, bolstering his MVP resume. The quarterback started by tossing touchdowns to Hollywood Brown on consecutive drives, then came inches away from a thrilling 36-yard scoring scamper on his next series. With another touchdown throw his next time out, however, Jackson not only led Baltimore to the end zone on all four of his first-half drives, but did so without a single incompletion. For an encore, he then opened the second half with back-to-back red-zone TD…read more

Another stellar showing
Jackson completed 17 of 24 passes for 222 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Ravens' 41-7 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed nine times for 86 yards.
Analysis: Jackson once again was in excellent form both through the air and on the ground, posting his second straight game with multiple touchdown passes while also eclipsing the 80-yard mark as a rusher for the fifth time on the campaign. He continued to flash the considerable improvement he's managed to make as a passer, with Sunday marking his third consecutive contest with a 70.0 percent completion rate. The second-year signal-caller spread the ball impressively as well, hitting nine different pass…read more

Perfect in beatdown of Bengals
Jackson completed 15 of 17 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns and added 65 yards and a touchdown on seven carries during Sunday's 49-13 win over Cincinnati.
Analysis: The Ravens were already up 28-10 midway through the third quarter when Jackson, off of a zone read, twisted and turned up field for a 47-yard touchdown run. He capped off the very next drive with a 20-yard loft to rookie Marquise Brown for his third touchdown throw of the game and the Ravens pulled the dynamic sophomore for the remainder of the blowout. Jackson set a career high for completion percentage in a game in which he threw multiple passes, 88.2 percent, and boasted a perfect 158.3…read more

Ready to go Sunday
Jackson (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: The 22-year-old was considered questionable, but his status never truly appeared in doubt after he put in a full practice Friday. Jackson has found significant success on the ground over the last three weeks with 49 attempts for 329 yards and four touchdowns, while Cincinnati features the worst rush defense in the NFL and allows 177.6 yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry.

Jackson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.
Analysis: After sitting out Thursday's practice due to an illness, Jackson returned Friday as a full participant. "He looked good," coach John Harbaugh told Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site. Despite those facts, fantasy managers may want to keep an eye on Baltimore's inactive list, which will be released about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Delivers three scores in upset win
Jackson completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 163 yards and a touchdown while rushing 16 times for 61 yards and two more scores in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: This was actually one of Jackson's worst rushing games this season from an efficiency standpoint (3.8 yards per carry), but the Patriots were not able to stop him from breaking the plane of the end zone on two occasions. The sophomore gunslinger hasn't become the polished pocket passer we thought we were witnessing following a five-touchdown performance back in Week 1, but he doesn't need to be if he continues to post fantasy totals akin to running backs on a weekly basis (79.6 rushing yards…read more

Delivers another big rushing effort
Jackson completed nine of 20 pass attempts for 143 yards while carrying 14 times for 116 rushing yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 30-14 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Jackson completed just 45 percent of his attempts as he finished with a new career low in passing yardage. He was devastating as a runner, however, exceeding 100 rushing yards for the third time this season while averaging 8.3 yards per carry.

Displays excellent rushing ability
Jackson completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 236 yards while carrying 19 times for 152 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-17 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Jackson was electric with the ball in his hands, gashing Cincinnati's run defense repeatedly as he set a new career high in rushing yardage. He played his second turnover-free game of the season and his passing output was in line with his season average. This excellent rushing performance puts Jackson on pace for over 1,200 yards on the ground this season, putting him in elite company among quarterbacks, and his ability to limit turnovers while contributing through the air makes him quite…read more

Turns it over thrice in win
Jackson completed 19 of 28 passes for 161 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions during Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Steelers. He added 70 yards on 14 carries and fumbled, but it was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: Jackson continues to make aggressive plays during his sophomore campaign. Sometimes, that works out like his second-quarter touchdown to Hollywood Brown between multiple defenders early in the second quarter. Sometimes, it doesn't like when Jackson was picked in two of three possessions to end the first half. Jackson's value will always be high because of his ability to use his legs, but five picks in his past two games after none in the season's opening three weeks is certainly a disturbing…read more

Ugly but effective in loss
Jackson completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 40-25 loss to Cleveland. He added 66 yards on nine carries.
Analysis: Jackson threw for only 34 yards in the first half, but that total included a nine-yard touchdown pass to Miles Boykin just after the two-minute warning. He added an eight-yard touchdown to Mark Andrews in the fourth quarter but got picked off twice after that to dim Baltimore's comeback hopes before connecting for a 50-yard score with Willie Snead in garbage time. While Jackson has made strides as a passer, he's still much more comfortable operating with a run-pass balance, though big deficits…read more

Cools a bit in Kansas City
Jackson completed 22 of 43 passes for 267 yards and added 46 yards and a touchdown on eight carries during Sunday's 33-28 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: An impressive, cork-screwing run in the game's final moments salvaged what was an otherwise so-so day for Jackson. The Chiefs jumped out to a big early lead, forcing Jackson to operate more from the pocket. Though he avoided disaster, the low completion percentage and bizarre cross-field throw to Willie Snead that was somehow pulled down by the veteran wideout are certain to be topics of conversation in the coming week. Jackson will face his biggest test of the young season Sunday against…read more

Continues scorching start
Jackson completed 24 of 37 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns while adding 120 yards on 16 carries during Sunday's 23-17 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Those looking for the wheels to fall of the dynamic sophomore after a Week 1 beatdown of the hapless Dolphins were disappointed as Jackson came out dealing against the Cardinals. The Louisville product showed some polish early, executing a nice pump fake in the flat to set up a wide-open 27-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews in the first quarter. He wasn't perfect, including an overthrow on an attempted fourth-down conversion, but Jackson is a truer dual threat than he was as a rookie.…read more

Tramples Dolphins in homecoming
Jackson completed 17 of 20 passes for 324 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in the Ravens' 59-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed three times for six yards and exited the game due to coach's decision after his final drive of the third quarter.
Analysis: A Ravens rout was far from the most unexpected result in this season-opening contest, but the way Baltimore ultimately racked up the majority of their scoring qualifies as at least a bit of a surprise. Jackson reportedly worked diligently on his development as a passer all offseason, and the hard work paid off in spades during a performance where the second-year signal-caller racked up a career-high number of touchdown passes, despite only playing three quarters. Jackson wasted no time forging…read more

Hoping for 30 passes per game
Jackson told Adam Schein of Mad Dog Sports Radio on Monday that he would like to throw about 30 passes per game, with fewer designed quarterback runs built into the offense.
Analysis: Including the playoffs, Jackson averaged 23.4 pass attempts and 16 carries in eight starts last season, producing 7.0 YPA and 4.8 YPC. The rushing volume probably isn't sustainable long term, but it could be temporarily buoyed by the Ravens bringing in offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who previously oversaw prolific rushing seasons from Colin Kaepernick and Tyrod Taylor.

Plays two drives
Jackson completed 6 of 10 passes for 58 yards and rushed twice for 14 yards in Thursday night's 26-13 preseason win over the Packers.
Analysis: Jackson also had an exciting touchdown scamper, but that run was unfortunately negated due to an offensive penalty. With a mix of flash and misfires, Jackson still led the Ravens to field goals on both his drives. He'll aim to use next week's game against the Eagles to get fully prepared for the regular season.

Focuses on pass in preseason opener
Jackson completed four of six passes for 59 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 29-0 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Baltimore gave Jackson three series to open the preseason and he helped put together two scoring drives all while not relying on his legs to gain yardage. Jackson didn't record a carry, but did make some nice throws including a 26-yard shot up the sideline to Chris Moore and a 10-yard quick out that Willie Snead took in for a touchdown. Everybody knows that Jackson will be a threat with his legs in his first full season as a starter. Thursday was a nice glimpse of his comfort in focusing his…read more

May make brief appearance Thursday
Jackson is expected to see minimal playing time in Thursday's preseason game against the Jaguars, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Thursday marking Baltimore's preseason opener, Jackson is unlikely to play more than a series or two. In the past, coach John Harbaugh has tended to give his starter some reps in the opener before turning things over to the backups. Jackson's expected minimal playing time limits his upside in daily contests Thursday.

Should stay busy on ground
Ravens coach John Harbaugh expects Jackson to top Cam Newton's career high of 139 carries in a season, Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jackson already topped that mark last year with 147 carries, including 119 (17 per game) in seven starts. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti suggested in May that the young quarterback won't run as often in 2019, but Harbaugh said "take the over" when former coach Brian Billick mentioned Newton's 139 carries during a conversation about Jackson's rushing volume. In all likelihood, Jackson will land somewhere south of last year's 17 per game and somewhere north of Newton's 8.7 from 2017. Jamison…read more

Could have carries reduced
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said Jackson won't be running "20 times a game" this coming season, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley reports.
Analysis: Jackson averaged 22.6 pass attempts and 17 carries in his starts last season, winning six of seven games with the help of a strong defense. Bisciotti said the massive rushing workload was a product of the team doing whatever it took to reach the playoffs after starting the year 4-5. With a full offseason to craft a scheme under new offensive coordinator Greg Roman, the Ravens will aim for a more balanced approach in 2019, perhaps looking to keep Jackson closer to 10-12 carries per game. For a…read more

Working with new OC Roman
Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman believes Jackson is gifted in terms of vision and instincts but still has work to do when it comes to passing fundamentals, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. "I think fundamentally is where [Jackson's] going to need to put most of his work," Roman said. "I think where to throw the ball and seeing guys open, I think those are things that he naturally has."
Analysis: Roman was promoted within the organization to replace Marty Mornhinweg, who led the successful transition to an offense based around read-option runs after Jackson replaced Joe Flacco at quarterback. The Ravens believe Roman can build on that success with the help of more sophisticated run designs, as his offenses finished eighth, fourth, third, fourth and first in the NFL for rushing yards in his five full seasons as a coordinator, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Roman is best known for his…read more

Gets endorsement from Harbaugh
Coach John Harbaugh said last week that Jackson will remain the Ravens' top signal-caller heading into the 2019 season, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "I know Joe [Flacco] is going to do really well. I mean, Lamar is our quarterback going forward -- no question about that," Harbaugh said.
Analysis: Jackson took over for an injured Flacco as the Ravens' starting quarterback in Week 11, bringing with him a new-look, run-heavy offensive attack that guided the team to wins in six of its final seven contests of the regular season. Unfortunately, Jackson couldn't keep the momentum going in the Jan. 6 wild-card-round loss to the Chargers, completing only 14 of 29 passes for 194 yards and adding 54 yards on the ground while throwing an interception and losing one of his three fumbles. The rookie…read more

Mixed bag in first playoff game
Jackson completed 14 of 29 passes for 194 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Ravens' 23-17 wild-card loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also rushed nine times for 54 yards but had three fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: Jackson had a postseason effort befitting a rookie making only his eighth professional start: plenty of miscues and missed throws, along with some dazzling plays that almost led to an improbable comeback. The 2018 first-round pick was largely ineffective for the first three quarters, leading to speculation that veteran Joe Flacco could be inserted at any moment. However, Jackson came to life midway through the final period, leading marches of 75 and 80 yards that culminated with touchdown…read more

Dazzling performance on ground
Jackson completed 14 of his 24 pass attempts for 179 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Browns. He added 90 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries.
Analysis: Jackson turned in one of his better passing performances of the season, averaging 7.46 yards per attempt -- his third-highest mark as the starter. However, that paled in comparison to his impact on the ground, as he found the end zone twice and had a third would-be touchdown called back for holding. While there is reasonable concern about Jackson's ability to stay healthy given his heavy workload on the ground, he has proven to be a competent passer and dangerous rusher through seven career…read more

Sets career high in passing yards
Jackson completed 12 of 22 pass attempts for 204 yards and a touchdown, adding 39 rushing yards on 13 carries in Saturday's 22-10 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Jackson eclipsed the 200-yard mark for the first time this year on the back of a beautiful 68-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews. The athletic quarterback's completion percentage still hovered around 50 percent (58 percent on the year), and he missed a few routine pass attempts. It has become apparent that the rookie has an erratic arm, but anything he can do in the air complements what he can gain on the ground. That said, Jackson's best passing performance to date was accompanied by his…read more

Thrives on ground again in win
Jackson completed 14 of 23 passes for 131 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Ravens' 20-12 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed 18 times for 95 yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: It was a trademark Jackson line: light on passing yards but reflecting superior ground production. The rookie's fumble at the Buccaneers' 43-yard line late in the first quarter was costly, however, eventually leading to Tampa Bay's only touchdown of the day. Jackson did make up for his miscue with mistake-free football the rest of the way, and he continued to pile up production with his legs, checking in only nine yards behind team leader Gus Edwards in rushing. Jackson continues to do enough…read more

Practices fully
Jackson (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: In addition to the good news about Jackson's ankle injury, coach John Harbaugh confirmed Wednesday morning that the rookie will continue to start at quarterback. Joe Flacco (hip) is expected to return for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay as the backup signal-caller, though it isn't out of the question he could play a few snaps, specifically in obvious passing situations. Jackson's ability to practice without any restrictions suggests the injury shouldn't hinder his mobility Sunday.

Coach John Harbaugh suggested Jackson (ankle) could lose some snaps to Joe Flacco (hip), Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "It stands to reason that if Joe's ready to go, he'll be part of the game plan," Harbaugh said Monday. "He's too good of a player not to be."
Analysis: This isn't the first time Harbaugh has mentioned the possibility of using both quarterbacks, only this week there's actually a good chance Flacco will be ready to play. Meanwhile, Jackson is dealing with an ailment of his own, though Harbaugh expects the rookie to be okay for a Week 15 home game against the Buccaneers.

The rookie first-round pick missed the final two snaps of Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss in Kansas City, but X-rays came back negative and he reportedly walked around the locker room without a limp after the game.

X-rays return negative
X-rays on Jackson's injured ankle conducted after Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs returned negative, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The rookie believes he'll be ready to play Week 15 against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, Jackson was removed from a game with an injury that didn't turn out to be serious. He once again proved shaky as a passer -- he completed 13 of 24 attempts for 147 yards and two touchdowns -- and lost a fumble, but he carved up the Chiefs on the ground for 71 yards on 13 carries. The fact that the Ravens nearly scored a road upset against the AFC's top team is probably enough to earn Jackson another start Week 15, despite longtime starting quarterback Joe Flacco…read more

Downplays ankle issue
When asked about an ankle injury he suffered late in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Jackson replied, "I'm good," Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The issue caused Jackson to miss the end of Baltimore's 27-24 loss Sunday, but it doesn't appear to be something that will affect his Week 15 availability. It remains to be seen, however, if his practice participation will be impacted at all. The Ravens' QB situation will thus be worth monitoring in the coming days, with the health of Joe Flacco (hip) improving.

Not assured of starting job Week 14

Analysis: There was reportedly no decision to make ahead of Sunday's 26-16 win over the Falcons, as Joe Flacco (hip) still doesn't have medical clearance to play. However, the 33-year-old quarterback did manage limited practice participation Thursday and Friday, perhaps giving him a chance to gain clearance for Week 14 in Kansas City.

Keeps it rolling on the ground
Jackson completed 12 of 21 passes for 125 yards and added 75 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries during Sunday's 26-16 win over Atlanta. He lost a fumble during the contest.
Analysis: Jackson gave the Ravens their only offensive touchdown late in the first quarter, keeping it on an option play and slicing for a 13-yard score. That's Jackson at his best. At his worst, Jackson scrambled early in the second quarter, was stripped, and the Falcons returned it for a 74-yard score.

However, Flacco has yet to gain clearance, so Jackson will remain the Ravens' primary signal-caller Week 13, which presents a matchup with a Falcons defense that ranks 26th against the pass (273 yards per game) and has allowed opposing quarterbacks to rack up 205 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in 11 games.

Headed for week of uncertainty
Coach John Harbaugh doesn't intend to announce his decision between Jackson or Joe Flacco (hip) as the starting quarterback for Week 13 in Atlanta, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley reports. "Whether the decision has been made or not, it's not important for anybody to know but us," Harbaugh said after Sunday's 34-17 win over the Raiders. "If I decide to do it one way or another, I don't want our opponent to know. So, I'm probably not going to announce it for obvious reasons."
Analysis: Flacco reportedly hopes to resume practicing Tuesday, but he hasn't yet been cleared to do so and still needs to meet with a hip specialist in the coming days. Meanwhile, Jackson has led the Ravens to back-to-back wins, albeit in home games with the benefit of cupcake matchups (Cincinnati and Oakland).

Jackson completed 14 of 25 passes for 178 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 34-17 win over the Raiders. He added 71 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and fumbled a ball that was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: Jackson extended the Ravens' lead early in the fourth quarter with an eight-yard quick slant to Michael Crabtree, his first passing touchdown as a starter. That play, and an earlier five-yard touchdown run, will give fans hope for what is to come, but Jackson still has a ways to go as a passer.

Jackson completed 13 of 19 passes for 150 yards and an interception during Sunday's 24-21 win over Cincinnati and added 117 yards on 27 carries.
Analysis: Runs of 12 and 21 yards helped ease Jackson in during his first drive as a starter, setting up an Alex Collins touchdown. Though he completed a solid clip of his passes, the majority of those throws were underneath and a scramble-turned-interception to start the second half showed some of the lack of comfort Jackson appears to still have as a more traditional passer.

Analysis: Joe Flacco (hip) is listed as doubtful for the contest and is unlikely to play, opening the door for the 2018 first-round pick to draw his first NFL start.

Remains involved in Baltimore's offense
Jackson completed his lone pass attempt for 12 yards and added five carries for 10 yards Sunday against the Steelers.
Analysis: For the second straight week, Jackson played double-digit snaps.
