Head Coach John Harbaugh stated that it's a medical decision, not a coaching decision, and did not elaborate on Jackson's specific status. Griffin pulled his hamstring during an outside run in the second quarter of Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He remained in the game until the fourth quarter when McSorley took over. It's a hard-luck injury for Griffin, who said it was the first time in his career that he injured his hamstring. It was his second start since and first in a high-stakes game. Griffin led the team in rushing with 68 yards but completed seven of 12 passes for just 33 yards and a pick-six. McSorley entered the game in the fourth quarter and helped bring the Ravens back into the game, connecting with Marquise "Hollywood" Brown on a yard touchdown.
McSorley had one other completion for seven yards in his six attempts. The mobile quarterback added three runs for 16 yards, including a 6-yard carry on fourth-and-2 to keep the Ravens' comeback hopes alive. McSorley is in his second season after being a sixth-round pick out of Penn State in His touchdown pass to Brown was just the sixth pass of his NFL career, at least in a regular-season game, and it came in Pittsburgh.
Quite a way to start a career, especially for a Nittany Lion. It has been a few years, since last preseason that I had any real game action. It was good to be out there with the guys, get in the huddle, be around the guys in a game setting and get that feeling going, get the adrenaline going.
It felt really good being out there with everyone. The Ravens drafted McSorley thinking he could be groomed to be a solid backup for Jackson. Now the third-string quarterback could be thrust into the spotlight in what's virtually a must-win game against the Cowboys with Baltimore riding a three-game losing streak.
As you can see, you never know what's going to happen. Obviously, I'm wishing the best for Lamar and his health and that he can get back as soon as he can. Injury analysis powered by Draft Sharks Injury Index , formerly. The situation obviously has almost no fantasy impact, unless you play preseason DFS. Griffin's obviously not a challenge to moribund-yet-deeply entrenched starter Joe Flacco. Mallett backed up Flacco the past 2 seasons after arriving mid He started 2 games that year and appeared in 6 total no starts over the past 2 seasons.
It might surprise a lot of folks that Griffin only just turned 28 in February. He obviously has plenty to prove, though, before we can consider him even a dynasty bench candidate at this point -- especially with the Ravens' lackluster pass-catching corps.
RG3 didn't even make it through a game last year before breaking his left shoulder. Since his impressive rookie campaign, Griffin has thrown 22 TDs vs. He'll need to settle for a backup gig on the open market. RG3 remains just a QB2 flier. HC Hue Jackson suggested earlier this week that he still believes RG3 might be the team's answer at QB, so we'd expect him to get the nod in Sunday's finale against the Steelers. Based on our award-winning projections, an axis of data points give insights far deeper than a ranking.

Even if there's a frosty relationship between noted team orthopedist James Andrews and Shanahan, Andrews is on the staff, at least in part, because he's the foremost expert on knees in the country.
He should have the power to speak up when he sees something obviously wrong with the franchise quarterback. And Griffin is not blameless here either. He's an adult. If he swears over and over he's fine, the coach has to listen to that and take that into account. King is also correct, because this entire debacle is too massive to fall on a single pair of shoulders.
The Redskins gave up a boatload of draft picks to the St. Louis Rams in trading up for RG3, and it certainly was the right move. At the same token, that kind of trade is also extremely risky since the immediate future is completely invested into a rookie signal-caller. As the season progressed, though, Griffin kept producing and electrifying pro football fans from all over.
But was Shanahan overusing his abilities? No, because a dual-threat starter possessing RG3's athleticism has to be the focal point of an offense. And he only carried the ball times, which pales in comparison to the physical punishment running backs take on an annual basis. Griffin was also sacked just 30 times during the regular season. Washington presents one of pro football's best and most consistent offensive lines, so utilizing Griffin often as possible is why the Redskins hosted Seattle in the first place.
