Griffin could start at quarterback Sunday against the Steelers after Lamar Jackson tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The status of Sunday's game is in doubt as the Ravens deal with a COVID-19 outbreak among players and staff, but Griffin could serve as the starting quarterback with both Jackson and Trace McSorley unavailable due to COVID-19 protocols. If the Ravens don't take the field Sunday, the club has a short week prior to playing the Cowboys on Dec. 3. Griffin has taken just 17 snaps for Baltimore this year, completing one of his three passes for nine yards and one interception while rushing five times for one yard.
Glad I started Watson at QB this week instead of Jackson, but it wasn’t because of any knowledge of the latter’s COVID situation. It was because the plays being called for his usage are quite possibly the worst in the NFL. JACKSON needs to be running more than he is by far and calls to move the chains have to be smarter. The RBs must step up games as well. A lot. But Jackson has to be in the mix while in his prime if Baltimore is going to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
