Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley will start in place of Lamar Jackson on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh told reporters on Friday.
Last week in a 10-9 win against the Denver Broncos, Huntley came in for the Ravens after Jackson left the game with a knee injury in the first quarter. He went on to throw for 187 yards and an interception, adding 41 yards on the ground.
Huntley appeared in seven games last season, going 1-3 as a starter. He threw for 1,081 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions.
Jackson was diagnosed with a sprained PCL in his left knee and was given a 1-3 week healing timetable, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Harbaugh called Jackson “week-to-week” on Monday.
The Ravens currently sit atop the AFC North with an 8-4 record and possess the tie-breaker over the Cincinnati Bengals, who are on a four-game winning streak. They play again in the final week of the season.
