Overview
- Jackson suffered a left ankle sprain on a sack late in the first half of Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans and did not return to the game.
- NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported Jackson has only an "outside chance" to play on Oct. 11 and could miss multiple games depending on how his rehab goes.
- Rapoport and other reports say the injury is not expected to require surgery, though the timetable remains fluid and will be tracked week to week.
- Coach Jesse Minter initially downplayed the risk of a multi-game absence, creating a contrast with later reporting that increased the possibility of extended time out.
- If Jackson is unavailable, backup Tyler Huntley — who relieved Jackson and completed eight of nine passes against Tennessee — is the likely starter and his play will shape Baltimore’s next two key games and playoff hopes.
