Overview
- Jackson suffered a left-ankle sprain late in the first half of Sunday’s 24-18 win over the Tennessee Titans, did not return and left M&T Bank Stadium wearing a protective boot.
- NFL insiders described the injury as “unconventional,” saying Jackson has only an outside chance to play Sunday night and that surgery is not expected though he could miss multiple games depending on rehab.
- Baltimore opened on-field prep on Wednesday with Jackson not practicing and with Tyler Huntley being readied to start if Jackson is unavailable.
- Huntley relieved Jackson in Week 4 (8-of-9 for 63 yards) and has 11 prior starts with a 5-6 record, but the Ravens’ depth behind him is thin with rookie Joe Fagnano listed as the QB3.
- Jackson’s uncertain status has shifted betting lines and short-term expectations for Baltimore, which sits 3-1 atop the AFC North and has a mixed record in games Jackson has missed.
