Unser Chat » Lamar Jackson isn’t staying awake at night thinkin

OWINGS MILLS Justice Hill Baltimore Ravens Jersey , Md. (AP) —g about the prospect of making his first NFL start.Baltimore Ravens starting quarterback Joe Flacco missed practice Wednesday because of a hip injury, and his status for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals is uncertain.If Flacco can’t go, coach John Harbaugh likely will turn to Jackson, whose first pro season thus far has been spent taking a few snaps per game in run situations.“I’m going into it just like any other week. Just preparing for whatever,” Jackson said. “Everything is still the same.”Starting at quarterback for a team desperate to end a three-game skid might cause some rookies to squirm, but Jackson insisted he’s sleeping “like a baby.”Flacco hurt his hip early in a 23-16 loss to Pittsburgh on Nov. 4. He had the bye week to recover, but is still receiving treatment Cheap Justice Hill Jersey , meaning his availability for Baltimore (4-5) against the Bengals (5-4) could come down to a game-time decision.Harbaugh appears done talking about it.“Rather than tip my toe in the water and start answering one question and then not answering the next one, I’m just not going to get into it. I’m just going to leave it alone,” he said. “I feel like we don’t owe anybody any answers.”If Flacco can’t play, veteran Robert Griffin III will likely serve as backup to the rookie he’s been mentoring since summer. Griffin, like Jackson, was a running quarterback who had to make the transition into a passing league.Griffin won the Heisman Trophy as a junior at Baylor and finished with 2,254 yards rushing with 33 touchdowns. Jackson won the Heisman in 2016 and finished with 4 Justice Hill Baltimore Ravens Jersey ,132 yards on the ground with 50 touchdowns.Now they’re together in Baltimore, trying to get the Ravens into the postseason.“Everybody wants to be a part of a winner,” Griffin said. “This franchise has done a lot of winning; we just got to make sure that we get back to that.”After sitting out last season, Griffin launched his comeback by signing in April with the Ravens, presumably to be Flacco’s backup. He dropped to No. 3 on the depth chart soon after Baltimore traded up to get Jackson in the first round.Though he has 41 career starts (including playoffs), Griffin will likely serve as a backup Sunday if Flacco can’t play. At least he will be in uniform after spending the first nine weeks on the inactive list.“I haven’t been OK not playing,” Griffin said. “I think if I was OK not playing Hayden Hurst Jersey 2019 , then I wouldn’t be the competitor that I’ve grown to be. But within that, you have to control what you can.”He will do what he’s asked on Sunday, but makes no secret of his desire to start.“It would be awesome,” Griffin said. “It’s been a heck of a journey, but coming here was the best thing I could’ve done. Knowing what it means to play like a Raven and growing with these guys has been something that’s been real special for me. If I get that opportunity to go out there and play, I’m going to make most of it and show these guys not only how hard I’ve been working, but how much I believe in them.”Griffin wants to win White Hayden Hurst Jersey , and his main contribution toward that end has been to make the 21-year-old Jackson a better quarterback.“It’s been great. I didn’t think I’d be a big brother at 28,” Griffin said. “I’ve got two older sisters, I’m the baby of the family, but it’s been great to take Lamar under my wing and kind of be that big-brother figure to him.
