Lamar Jackson Dealing With Sprained Ankle, Week 5 Availability Uncertain

A this-week MRI will determine whether backup Tyler Huntley must start Sunday night in Atlanta.

Overview

  • Jackson injured his left ankle on a sack late in the first half of Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans and did not return, leaving M&T Bank Stadium in a walking boot.
  • The Ravens ordered imaging and Jackson was listed day-to-day while the team reviews MRI results that were scheduled on Monday.
  • NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported the injury is a sprain that gives Jackson only an outside chance to play in Week 5 and that he could miss multiple games depending on rehab.
  • Tyler Huntley relieved Jackson in the second half, completed 8 of 9 passes for 63 yards, and would be the starter if Jackson is ruled out for the Falcons game.
  • Jackson’s prior missed time and outsized role in Baltimore’s offense raise stakes for cautious management, and the Ravens’ Wednesday injury report will be the next clear update on his status.
