OWINGS MILLS, Md. \u2014 Lamar Jackson says he’s expecting to play when the Baltimore Ravens take on the Steelers in Pittsburgh for the AFC North title Sunday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cA hundred per cent,\u201d the star quarterback said. “I’m going to be out there.”<\/p>\n
Jackson returned to practice Wednesday and was a full participant, but he didn’t talk with reporters at the podium until Thursday. He said he’s feeling good after missing last weekend’s game at Green Bay because of a back injury.<\/p>\n
That was the fourth game this season Jackson has missed, the first three because of hamstring problems. Jackson addressed some of the skepticism that’s come his way lately regarding his willingness to play through pain.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never quit on my team before. I never quit anything to be honest with you,” Jackson said. “I don’t know where that noise came from.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jackson said he believes he has a good relationship with coach John Harbaugh and \u201cabsolutely\u201d wants to be in Baltimore.<\/p>\n
