Lamar Jackson injury update: Will Ravens QB play vs Lions? Here's the latest | Hindustan Times

Lamar Jackson, one of the best quarterbacks in history, continues to improve each year, demonstrating strong performance both in passing and rushing. He currently holds a passer rating of 102.648 and has led the Baltimore Ravens to score over 40 points in each of their first two games this season. Jackson has thrown six touchdown passes with no interceptions and added 83 rushing yards along with a touchdown on the ground. Last season, he recorded 41 touchdowns to only four interceptions, along with 915 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns, yet did not win the MVP award.

The Baltimore Ravens are set to face the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, with Jackson playing a key role for his team. He is fully fit and not dealing with any injuries, having avoided a serious issue during the preseason when his foot was stepped on in practice. X-rays showed no damage, though he left practice 40 minutes early and did not practice on Thursday as a precaution.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff praised Jackson's abilities ahead of the game, emphasizing that while Jackson's rushing skills receive significant attention, his passing ability is equally exceptional and underrated. Goff noted that Jackson is among the best passers in the league, with impressive statistics over the past three to four years, and expects a challenging matchup for Detroit's defense.

Jackson was selected by the Ravens with the final pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He is a two-time NFL MVP and holds the record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in NFL history. In his first full season, he led the league in touchdown passes, set the single-season rushing record for a quarterback, and won unanimous NFL MVP honors, becoming the fourth black quarterback to achieve this.
