Who is the Ravens starting QB today vs Steelers? Latest Lamar Jackson's latest injury update

Lamar Jackson left the Baltimore Ravens' victory over the Denver Broncos last week with a knee injury. He was later diagnosed with a PCL sprain that might force him to miss up to three weeks. However, at the time, head coach John Harbaugh didn't rule him out for the Week 14 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

However, he will not be able to play today. In his stead, backup Tyler Huntley, who led last week's game-winning drive, will start. That might last longer than this week, though.

ESPN's Adam Schefter said:

"Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson may not play again until Christmas Eve as he continues to recover from a knee injury, league sources told ESPN."

The Ravens may be without their star quarterback for the next two games. This comes at a crucial time as the Cincinnati Bengals are breathing down their necks for the AFC North title. Both teams are 8-4 heading into Sunday.

The Ravens have not yet ruled Jackson out for next week. They remain hopeful he can give it a go, but it is very unlikely at this point. They will turn to Huntley for the matchups he misses, which could be against the Steelers and the Cleveland Browns.

However, the Ravens barely edged out the astonishingly bad Broncos, so they will absolutely need Jackson back as soon as possible.

Can the Ravens win without Lamar Jackson?

Despite pulling off a victory last week, the Ravens looked anything but deserving. They played poorly with both the starter and the backup quarterback. If it was another team besides the Broncos, they very well may have lost.

With the Steelers up next, it's another game that they can win with Huntley. It'll take a bit of luck and a solid gameplan, but the Steelers don't drive fear into the hearts of their opponents this season.

It's a rivalry game and it is extremely important for Baltimore to win. Right now, the Steelers are actually slightly favored to win. They're two-point favorites, so it will be tough for the Ravens to overcome that.
