Baltimore Ravens
It looks like it will be Tyler Huntley under center for the Baltimore Ravens (8-4) when they travel to Pittsburgh on Sunday to take on the Steelers (5-7). Quarterback Lamar Jackson is dealing with a knee injury and has not been able to practice all week. He has officially been listed as doubtful.
Should he indeed start, it would be Huntley’s first of the season. The Ravens have lost five of their last six games that Jackson hasn’t started. Well, good luck.
Per ESPN, Jackson is suffering from a sprained PCL, an injury that typically takes one to three weeks to come back from.

Odell Beckham Jr.
The race for Odell Beckham Jr. is on. The free agent wide receiver was hanging with the Cowboys and has hinted at wanting to reunite with Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants.
However, on Thursday night, Beckham told LeBron James it’s postseason or bust…well, kind of.
“I’m not saying I couldn’t step in and play [in the] regular season, but I don’t see the point,” Beckham said on “The Shop.” “I really don’t. I’d rather play when that pressure’s on.”
OBJ tore his ACL during last year’s Super Bowl and has been on the road to recovery the last 10 months.
