Lamar Jackson says he will play for the Ravens in the AFC North showdown with the Steelers, declaring he is a hundred percent ready.

He pushes back on quit-talk surrounding him, asserting he never quits on his team.

A report suggested a rift with head coach John Harbaugh and that Jackson eyed a move to the Miami Dolphins, which he denied in a Thursday briefing.

Team and medical staff will determine game-time status based on injury updates, with possible additional padding for Jackson after a back contusion.

Jackson has battled injuries but continued to contribute, with notable 2023 stat line including over 2,300 passing yards, 18 TDs, and solid rushing numbers; 2025 has been uneven but featured high-impact moments.

Through 12 games this season, he’s posted about 2,300 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, and around 340 rushing yards with a handful of rushing TDs.

Jackson returned to practice as a full participant after missing due to a back issue, after earlier hamstring problems that sidelined him for several games.

On the Steelers side, TJ Watt was limited for a second straight day, underscoring ongoing injury uncertainty for both teams.

Derrick Henry’s impact in short-yardage and big plays has shaped the Ravens’ offense and Jackson’s rushing role.

Projections and status are based on current public reports and may change before kickoff; fans should monitor official updates.

His season has included a hamstring injury, a back contusion, and lingering minor injuries, affecting playing time.

Week 16 saw a knee-to-back hit sideline him for most of the game and Week 17, but he’s returned to practice and is cleared to start.
