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.
