Lamar Jackson Remains Day-to-Day as Ravens Await Practice-Based Decision

Coach Jesse Minter will judge Jackson's ankle by the next two practices to decide if he can play vs. Cleveland with Tyler Huntley ready to start if needed.

Overview

  • Jackson is still recovering from a sprained ankle suffered in the Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans and did not take part in the most recent team practice, so he is listed day-to-day.
  • Minter said the staff has seen improvement but will rely on Jackson’s performance in the next two practices before giving a game designation for the matchup with the Cleveland Browns.
  • Tyler Huntley relieved Jackson in Week 4 and started the following game, completing 201 passing yards, two touchdowns and a rushing touchdown in the win, which makes him the likely starter if Jackson can’t play.
  • The Ravens enter the upcoming stretch leading the AFC North at 4-1 and face a run of difficult opponents where quarterback availability could materially affect their standing.
  • Baltimore’s history without Jackson since 2019 shows a 7-11 record in games he missed, underscoring how the team’s short-term fortunes hinge on the practice-based health decision now in the coaches’ hands.
