Lamar Jackson says he plans to play Sunday night in Pittsburgh, in the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Steelers for the North American title.
“100%,” the star quarterback said. I will be on the ground. »
Jackson returned to practice Wednesday and participated fully, but he didn’t speak to reporters until Thursday. He said he feels good after missing last weekend’s game in Green Bay against the Packers because of a back injury.
This was Jackson’s fourth missed game this season, with the first three due to hamstring issues. Jackson was keen to respond to skeptics who recently questioned his willingness to play through pain.
“I never gave up on my team. Honestly, I never gave up on anything, he replied. I don’t know where these rumors come from. »
Jackson added that he has a good relationship with head coach John Harbaugh and “absolutely” wants to stay in Baltimore.
The Ravens need a win this weekend to qualify for the playoffs, after entering the season among the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
