For the second straight season, Lamar Jackson missed the stretch run of the Ravens regular season, and he has officially been ruled out for the team’s playoff opener against the Bengals. Even so, Baltimore still plans to negotiate a long-term contract with the former league MVP in the offseason, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
According to the report, the Ravens “haven’t changed their stance” on Jackson continuing on as the team’s franchise quarterback, even amid some potential frustrations about his availability down the stretch over the last few years.
