Is Lamar Jackson playing tonight? Ravens QB's status explored for Week 7 game vs. Buccaneers

Reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson has led the Baltimore Ravens to four straight wins against some of the best quarterbacks in the league, including Dak Prescott, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels. The star quarterback's next challenge is a primetime trip to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers.

Will Lamar Jackson play against the Buccaneers tonight?

Lamar Jackson will have the chance to build on his already stellar career record versus NFC teams against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

The two-time NFL MVP will start for the Ravens as he's not dealing with any injury concerns. He has already guided Baltimore to be among the top offensive units this season and he will try to continue that on Monday night as well.

Lamar Jackson is arguably off to his strongest start to a season. He set a career-high in 2023 with 3,678 throwing yards and he's on track to surpass that total this year.

Jackson has accumulated 1,529 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, two interceptions and a 108.4 rating in just six games this season. In addition, he has two touchdowns and 403 yards on the ground.

Lamar Jackson is a significant threat every time he uses his legs or even his hands, so the Bucs should be cautious while facing him tonight.

He will try to build on his 17-5 record in primetime games—including a 5-2 record on Monday Night Football—while starting for the Baltimore Ravens against the Bucs tonight.
