Lamar Jackson Questionable for Ravens-Bengals After Three Limited Practices

Return depends on his pain tolerance and effectiveness with the team likely to decide close to kickoff.

Overview

  • The Ravens placed Jackson on the official questionable list Friday after he practiced in a limited role for three straight days following an Oct. 4 ankle injury.
  • Jackson told reporters he has a high-ankle sprain, said he is “heading in the right direction,” and stressed that how much pain he can tolerate will determine whether he plays.
  • Coach Jesse Minter and staff said Jackson has made encouraging progress but that the choice to start him will be based on how effective he can be and may come near game time.
  • Tyler Huntley is prepared to start again if Jackson is inactive, and Baltimore’s offense has scored far fewer points without Jackson this season, underscoring the tactical impact of his availability.
  • Watch for the Ravens’ final inactive list at kickoff and for how the team plans to protect Jackson if he plays, since the club is balancing short-term divisional stakes with his long-term health.
