NFL injury tracker: Latest news, fantasy implications for Week 17 as Lamar Jackson listed as doubtful vs. Packers

The Baltimore Ravens have to win Saturday night at the Green Bay Packers to keep their AFC North hopes alive. They might have to do it without their franchise quarterback.

Lamar Jackson has officially been listed as doubtful for Saturday with a back injury. He hasn’t practiced all week and suffered the injury during last week’s loss to the New England Patriots, leaving the game at halftime after an awkward slide in the second quarter. He was termed day-to-day earlier this week, but now appears likely to miss the Packers game.

Baltimore needs a win, or else the Pittsburgh Steelers will clinch the AFC North title with two games left to play.

The Ravens’ opponent, meanwhile, has its own QB issues to sort out. Will it be Jordan Love or Malik Willis starting Saturday night? Or neither? That question is up in the air for now, as both quarterbacks are questionable ahead of Saturday’s game as of Thursday.

Love remains in concussion protocol with a concussion sustained in last week’s loss to the Chicago Bears. The Packers listed him as questionable on Thursday. He’ll need to pass concussion protocol to be cleared to play against Baltimore.

His backup, Willis, is also questionable with an undisclosed illness and a right shoulder injury. Willis returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday after missing Wednesday’s session with the illness.

If neither quarterback can play, the Packers will likely be left to elevate Clayton Tune off the practice squad. Tune is a third-year pro who’s thrown 23 NFL passes and has thrown just two passes since the 2023 season. He hasn’t played in 2025.

Other notable Week 17 injuries:

• The San Francisco 49ers got good news this week when it was reported that George Kittle avoided a high-ankle sprain during Monday night’s win over the Indianapolis Colts. Kittle is reportedly dealing with a “mid-to-low ankle sprain” and general manager John Lynch said Friday that the tight end will likely be a game-time decision for Sunday.

• Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is off the injury report and will play Sunday against the Eagles. Allen went down with a foot injury in last week’s game.

• TreVeyon Henderson practiced on Friday without a red, non-contact jersey after being in concussion protocol following Sunday night’s win over the Baltimore Ravens. He is questionable. Receivers Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and Mack Hollins (abdomen) have been ruled out
