Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed practice Friday due to an illness but is expected to play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, head coach John Harbaugh announced, according to Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun.

"He'll be fine," Harbaugh said Friday. "He tried to get to practice but was just too sick."

The Ravens officially listed Jackson as questionable Friday. He was a full participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday. Tyler Huntley, who started four games last year while replacing an injured Jackson, is Baltimore's backup.

Jackson has completed 62.3% of his passes for 1,768 yards and 16 touchdowns against six interceptions this season. The former NFL MVP has also put up 635 yards and two scores on the ground.

Harbaugh also said it's unclear whether Mark Andrews will return Sunday, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. The star tight end, who's missed one game due to shoulder and knee injuries, returned to practice this week. He's listed as questionable for Week 11.
