Lamar Jackson Exits With Left Ankle Injury; MRI Scheduled

The Ravens list him day-to-day and say MRI results and Wednesday’s injury report will decide if he can play in Week 5.

Overview

  • Jackson left Baltimore’s Week 4 game against Tennessee after a sack late in the first half that twisted his left ankle and did not return to the game on Sunday.
  • He was seen leaving M&T Bank Stadium in a protective walking boot and is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to assess ligament or bone damage.
  • Ravens coach Jesse Minter said the team is still gathering information and does not yet know Jackson’s chances for Week 5 but does not expect a long-term problem.
  • Medical commentary has suggested a possible high-ankle sprain, though that assessment is independent and the MRI will determine whether treatment or a multi-week absence is required.
  • If Jackson cannot play, backup Tyler Huntley—who completed 8 of 9 passes for 63 yards in relief—would start, and Jackson’s recent injury history makes any short absence significant for the Ravens’ game plan and season outlook.
