Lamar Jackson missed Baltimore Ravens‘ massive Saturday night win against Green Bay Packers with a back injury.
As speculation stepped up over the quarterback’s long-term future with the franchise, running back Derrick Henry stepped up to keep hopes of the postseason alive.
He scored four touchdowns and took 36 carries 216 yards as the Ravens beat the Packers 41-24 to keep their slim postseason hopes alive.
Jackson went off in last week’s narrow 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots with the issue, which comes at the worst possible time for the Ravens as they fight to keep their diminishing playoff hopes alive.
But six days on from that game and Jackson’s absence coincides with a bombshell report in the Baltimore Sun that the organization are running out of patience with their quarterback.
According to the report, Jackson has been dozing off in team meetings due to playing video games into the early hours of the morning.

It goes on to add that Jackson would ‘love’ to play for the Miami Dolphins, who are in the market for a new signal caller after Mike McDaniel benched Tua Tagovailoa after they failed to make the postseason.
Head coach John Harbaugh is also said to be at ‘breaking point’ with Jackson, who on his day is one of the most dangerous players in the NFL but has struggled with injuries throughout the 2025 campaign.
Jackson has often sat out at least one practice session a week this season to rest up, while a lingering hamstring issue has prevented him from being the dangerous running threat that he is so well known for.
To make the postseason, the Ravens need to win out vs the Packers and then on January 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while also needing the Steelers to lose or tie on Sunday against the lowly Cleveland Browns.
Unfortunately for Jackson’s team, the Steelers are finding form right as the season hots up and Aaron Rodgers’ men looked impressive in last week’s win over Detroit Lions.
