Lamar Jackson Missing Wednesday Practice After Earlier Optimism

His absence leaves his availability for Sunday’s divisional game in doubt and forces Baltimore to keep planning around its backups.

Overview

  • Reports that Jackson would return to practice this week gave way to an update that he was not present at the start of Wednesday’s session, creating fresh uncertainty about his status.
  • Jackson has not practiced since suffering an ankle injury in early October and has missed the last two starts for the Ravens.
  • Tyler Huntley has started in Jackson’s place with mixed results and remains the team’s on-field choice while the quarterback situation is unresolved.
  • Jackson’s skill set expands Baltimore’s offensive playbook compared with backups, so his absence has led coaches to use more under‑center snaps and heavier running.
  • The team will reassess Jackson’s condition in the days before the game and his availability will directly affect Baltimore’s approach to its divisional matchup and short‑term playoff outlook.
