Overview
- Jackson left the Ravens’ Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans with an ankle injury on Sunday and has been managed with MRI and treatment since then.
- The quarterback missed practice on Wednesday and was not on the field for Thursday’s walkthrough, leaving Friday’s session as the key indicator of his readiness for Week 5.
- If Jackson cannot go, backup Tyler Huntley is expected to start; Huntley relieved Jackson last week and completed 8 of 9 passes for 63 yards while also running four times for 16 yards.
- Head coach Jesse Minter says the offense “does not have to change a whole lot” with Huntley, and teammates like Derrick Henry publicly backed the backup’s ability to execute the game plan, though depth behind Huntley is limited.
- The Ravens are juggling other injuries and roster moves — cornerback Marlon Humphrey and Trey Hendrickson were limited or absent and newly acquired center Cam Jurgens is in concussion protocol — which could affect line play and short-term game-day decisions against a Falcons team on a two-game win streak.
