The Baltimore Ravens have to win Saturday night at the Green Bay Packers to keep their AFC North hopes alive. They might have to do it without their franchise quarterback.<\/p>\n

Lamar Jackson has officially been listed as doubtful<\/a> for Saturday with a back injury. He hasn’t practiced all week and suffered the injury during last week’s loss to the New England Patriots, leaving the game at halftime after an awkward slide in the second quarter. He was termed day-to-day earlier this week, but now appears likely to miss the Packers game.<\/p>\n

Baltimore needs a win, or else the Pittsburgh Steelers will clinch the AFC North title with two games left to play.<\/p>\n

The Ravens’ opponent, meanwhile, has its own QB issues to sort out. Will it be Jordan Love or Malik Willis starting Saturday night? Or neither? That question is up in the air for now, as both quarterbacks are questionable ahead of Saturday’s game as of Thursday.<\/p>\n

[NFL injury updates live]<\/a><\/p>\n

Love remains in concussion protocol with a concussion<\/a> sustained in last week’s loss to the Chicago Bears. The Packers listed him as questionable on Thursday. He’ll need to pass concussion protocol to be cleared to play against Baltimore.<\/p>\n

His backup, Willis, is also questionable with an undisclosed illness and a right shoulder injury. Willis returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday after missing Wednesday’s session with the illness.<\/p>\n

If neither quarterback can play, the Packers will likely be left to elevate Clayton Tune off the practice squad. Tune is a third-year pro who’s thrown 23 NFL passes and has thrown just two passes since the 2023 season. He hasn’t played in 2025.<\/p>\n

Other notable Week 17 injuries:<\/p>\n

The San Francisco 49ers got good news this week when it was reported that All-Pro tight end George Kittle avoided a high-ankle sprain<\/a> during Monday night’s win over the Indianapolis Colts. Kittle is reportedly dealing with a “mid-to-low ankle sprain,” which still leaves his status in doubt ahead of their Week 17 matchup with the Bears. But he’s reportedly avoided the high-ankle sprain diagnosis that frequently comes with multi-week absences.<\/p>\n

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen said that he <\/a>\u201cwill be playing, planning on playing\u201d against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. That came after he went down with a foot injury in last week’s game, and the injury kept him out of Tuesday\u2019s walk-through. \u201cI mean, [it\u2019s] still sore,\u201d Allen said, via ESPN<\/a>. \u201cWalk-through today, so really not practice in general. So yeah \u2026 feeling good.\u201d<\/p>\n

TreVeyon Henderson and Kayshon Boutte remain in concussion protocol after both were injured during Sunday night’s win over the Baltimore Ravens. Should Henderson be unable to go, running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who picked up 78 yards and a touchdown when he entered the game, will handle the workload.<\/p>\n

Allen being likely to play is no surprise considering his comments earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

The Bills quarterback said Tuesday that he \u201cwill be playing, planning on playing\u201d against the Eagles this weekend. That came after he went down with a foot injury in last week’s game, and the injury kept him out of Tuesday\u2019s walk-through.<\/p>\n

Steelers star T.J. Watt was limited in practice for the second straight day as he ramps up after missing two games with a partially collapsed lung. Watt had surgery on it and missed the Steelers’ wins over the Dolphins and Lions, but he’s trending toward being available against the Browns on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. will not play in Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Rodriguez was a late addition to the injury report with an illness.<\/p>\n

In last week’s 29-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Rodriguez rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n

With Rodriguez inactive, expect rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols to receive the bulk of the carries. Croskey-Merritt had 25 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Eagles.<\/p>\n
