Lamar Jackson is Off Ravens Injury Report So Basically No Opponent Stands a Chance Now
Lamar Jackson has been an MVP-level player this season, leading the league in touchdown passes and QB rating as a 22-year old. The second-year superstar was questionable for last week's game against the New York Jets, but Jackson played in the end and the Baltimore Ravens beat the Jets, 42-21, with Jackson tying a season high with five TD passes.
With the playoffs now coming up, Ravens fan shouldn't be worried about Lamar Jackson's injury, as he was not listed on the Week 16 injury report at all.
And as a result, the rest of the league may as well cower in fear.

Jackson is an unbelievably talented young player, and will surely keep on growing. Even as a 22-year-old, he was able to do something no other NFL player has ever been able to do: surpass 30 passing touchdowns and 1,000 yards rushing.
There have been 649 individual 1,000 rush yard seasons.

To prove even further just how dominant this sophomore superstar is, he just won his fifth NFL Offensive Player of the Week award this year alone, tying the record for most in a single season. If you're keeping score, he still has two games left to break the record.
ANOTHER AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor for @Lj_era8 ‼️

The caliber of player that the Ravens were able to draft with the 32nd overall pick in 2018 is amazing. That he is now fully healthy is just terrible, terrible news for the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. Ice up, boys.
