Ravens Expected To Activate Lamar Jackson From COVID-19 List, Start Him Against Cowboys

Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the Ravens are expected to activate QB Lamar Jackson from the COVID19 list and start him on Tuesday against the Cowboys.

Indications had been that Jackson would be available in Week 13, so this isn’t a big surprise. 

The Ravens are down to 10 players currently on the COVID-19 list, but it’s likely that number is even lower by kickoff on Tuesday. 

Jackson, 23, is a former first-round pick of the Ravens back in 2018. He’s in the third year of his four-year, $9,471,652 contract that included a $5,968,472 signing bonus.

The contract includes a fifth-year option for the Ravens to pick up on Jackson in 2021.

In 2020, Jackson has appeared in 10 games for the Ravens and completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 1,948 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions to go along with 575 yards rushing and three touchdowns.

We’ll have more regarding Jackson as the news is available.
