Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was voted to the AFC Pro Bowl team over Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and others, did not practice Thursday for a second consecutive day with an ankle injury ahead of Sunday's AFC North showdown between the Ravens and Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.
Jackson hasn't practiced since suffering the injury against the Cleveland Browns earlier this month.
"I think it does become a concern for any player when they miss time. You really want them out there working on their craft," Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said Thursday, per BaltimoreRavens.com's Ryan Mink.
Tyler Huntley started at quarterback for Baltimore in the Ravens' 31-30 loss last Sunday to the Green Bay Packers. Huntley finished 28-of-40 for 215 passing yards and two touchdowns, adding 73 rushing yards on 13 carries with two touchdowns on the ground.
In the Bengals' 41-17 win in Baltimore in October, Jackson completed 15 of 31 attempts for 257 passing yards with a touchdown, adding 88 rushing yards on 12 carries. Huntley played in the fourth quarter, finishing 5-of-11 for 39 yards.
The Enquirer's Charlie Goldsmith wrote that Burrow vs. Jackson could be the next great AFC North QB rivalry.
