OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson is again missing the end of the regular season, except this time it’s a good sign for the Baltimore Ravens.

Jackson will not play in Baltimore’s finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend, coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday. Harbaugh said Tyler Huntley will start at quarterback for the Ravens, who have already clinched the top seed in the AFC playoffs. Josh Johnson will be Huntley’s backup.

“All things considered, it seemed to be the right thing to do,” Harbaugh said.

“I’m cool with it,” he said. “Me and Coach talked about it.”

The announcement was no surprise now that Baltimore has wrapped up a first-round bye in the postseason. Jackson, who missed the end of 2021 and 2022 because of injuries, has started all 16 games so far this season.

Huntley has started eight regular-season games in his pro career, four each for the Ravens in each of the past two seasons. Baltimore went 3-5 in those starts. Huntley also started the Ravens’ 24-17 playoff loss at Cincinnati last season.

Huntley threw a late touchdown pass last weekend when the Ravens routed Miami 56-19 to clinch the AFC’s No. 1 seed.

“I believe Snoop can get the job done,” Jackson said, using the backup quarterback’s nickname.

Jackson, a favorite to win NFL MVP honors again, finishes the season with career highs in yards passing (3,678), completion rate (67.2%), pass attempts (457), completions (307) and yards per attempt (8.0).

Harbaugh also announced that defensive back Daryl Worley (shoulder/ankle) will not play this week. He was one of several players who missed practice Wednesday, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if more top contributors were held out of Saturday’s game against the Steelers.
