Lamar Jackson Showing Improvement as Ravens Say Return for Week Six Is Possible

His clearance would shape Baltimore’s play-calling pending a medical decision from the team.

Overview

  • Lamar Jackson did not play in the Ravens’ most recent game because of an ankle injury and was sidelined while the team managed his recovery.
  • Tyler Huntley started in Jackson’s place and led the Ravens to a 30-23 overtime win, finishing 24-of-32 for 201 yards, two passing touchdowns and no interceptions.
  • The Ravens posted video of Jackson celebrating Huntley in the locker room, reflecting visible team support and positive locker-room dynamics during his absence.
  • Coach Jesse Minter said Jackson is “definitely doing better,” and NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported the team is hopeful Jackson could be available next week, a report framed as an optimistic update rather than a confirmation.
  • Baltimore will await medical clearance before deciding whether to reinstate Jackson for the divisional matchup with Cleveland, a choice that would shift play-calling back toward his dual-threat style and affect short-term roster planning.
