Ravens Injury Report vs. Steelers
Key Players Questionable for Sunday's Matchup
The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are set to face off in a crucial AFC North matchup on Sunday, but both teams will be without some key players due to injuries. For the Ravens, quarterback Lamar Jackson is questionable with a knee injury, while wide receiver Rashod Bateman is also questionable with a foot injury. On the Steelers' side, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is out with a shoulder injury, and running back Najee Harris is questionable with a foot injury.
Jackson's Status a Major Concern for Ravens
Jackson is the Ravens' most important player, and his status for Sunday's game is a major concern. The 2019 NFL MVP is dealing with a knee injury that he suffered in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns. Jackson has not practiced this week, and his status for Sunday's game is up in the air. If Jackson is unable to play, the Ravens will likely start Tyler Huntley at quarterback.
Bateman's Absence Would Be a Big Loss
Bateman has been one of the Ravens' most productive receivers this season, and his absence would be a big loss. The 22-year-old has caught 46 passes for 515 yards and three touchdowns this season. He is second on the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. If Bateman is unable to play, the Ravens will likely turn to Devin Duvernay or James Proche II to fill his role.
Roethlisberger Out, Trubisky to Start for Steelers
Roethlisberger is out for the season with a shoulder injury, so the Steelers will start Mitch Trubisky at quarterback on Sunday. Trubisky has started two games for the Steelers this season, and he has completed 64.3% of his passes for 334 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also has rushed for 57 yards and one touchdown.
Harris' Status Unclear for Steelers
Harris is the Steelers' leading rusher this season, but his status for Sunday's game is unclear. The 23-year-old is dealing with a foot injury that he suffered in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Harris has not practiced this week, and his status for Sunday's game is up in the air. If Harris is unable to play, the Steelers will likely turn to Benny Snell Jr. or Anthony McFarland Jr. to carry the load.
