Lamar Jackson Questionable for Bengals After Three Limited Practices

A high-ankle sprain diagnosis leaves the Ravens planning a game‑time decision that will hinge on Jackson’s pain tolerance and effectiveness.

Overview

  • The Ravens listed Jackson as questionable on Friday after he practiced in a limited role on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, marking his first on-field work since the Oct. 4 injury.
  • Team medical staff have diagnosed Jackson with a high-ankle sprain and he told reporters he is “heading in the right direction” while stressing that pain tolerance will determine his availability.
  • Head coach Jesse Minter said the choice will be based on how Jackson feels and how effective he can be, signaling the final call could come close to kickoff.
  • Baltimore’s offense has been far stronger with Jackson this season—116 points and 14 touchdowns with him versus 40 points and four touchdowns without him—and Jackson is 11-2 all-time as a starter against Cincinnati.
  • If Jackson cannot go, Tyler Huntley will start again, a change that would likely shift Baltimore toward more conservative play-calling and extend the club’s cautious approach to protecting Jackson’s long-term health.
