Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson has been downgraded from doubtful and is inactive for the Ravens’ game Saturday night at Green Bay because of a back contusion.
The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player missed practice all week after being kneed in the back in the first half of the 28-24 loss Sunday to the New England Patriots.
Tyler Huntley will start for the Ravens (7-8), who need to beat Green Bay (9-5-1) to avoid elimination from the playoffs.
Baltimore is 6-6 with Jackson and 1-2 without him this season as he also missed three games in October because of a hamstring injury.
The Packers on Friday ruled out starting quarterback Jordan Love, who is in concussion protocol on Friday after being hurt in the first half of a 22-16 overtime loss at Chicago.
Backup Malik Willis, who missed Wednesday’s practice (illness) and was limited on Tuesday and Thursday (shoulder), is expected to get the start.
Other inactives for the Ravens are wide receiver Tylan Wallace, cornerback Keyon Martin, offensive tackle Joseph Noteboom and defensive tackle Aeneas Peebles.
Other inactives for the Packers are offensive lineman Zach Tom, wide receiver Savion Williams and defensive linemen Collin Oliver, Nazir Stackhouse and Barryn Sorrell.
