It’s been clear that two-time MVP Lamar Jackson hasn’t been playing at 100% in recent weeks. Three days prior to a first-place showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jackson did not take part in the Baltimore Ravens’ practice.

Jackson did not participate in Thursday’s practice in Owings Mills, Md., because of his ankle injury. It is not believed there is any question Jackson will play Sunday against the Steelers, and in recent weeks past he regularly sat out a practice session. However, Jackson had not missed a Thursday practice since he returned from a three-day absence because of a hamstring injury.

Over Jackson’s past four games, he has one touchdown pass and three interceptions with a 69.7 passer rating.

Jackson is 3-4 (including playoffs) as a starter in his career against the Steelers.
