Lamar Jackson – Noteworthy – Transaction
QB Lamar Jackson will start at quarterback for the Bengals in place of injured Joe Flacco in a home game on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
Flacco did not practice for the second consecutive week because of a hip injury sustained three weeks ago as the Ravens (5-5) suffered a 23-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. “I’m counting on Lamar being the starter,” head coach John Harbaugh said, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. “I think that’s pretty straightforward.” Jackson, the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner from Louisville and the Ravens’ No. 1 draft choice this year, passed for 150 yards and rushed for another 117 on 27 carries in a 24-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that broke a three-game losing streak last week.
