Overview
- Coach Jesse Minter confirmed Friday that Jackson will miss Sunday’s game in Cleveland, marking his second straight absence with the ankle injury and sending Tyler Huntley out as the starter again.
- Jackson has not practiced since hurting the ankle late in the first half on Oct. 4 and had completed 70.8% of his passes for 967 yards, six TDs and one interception through four games this season.
- Huntley gives the Ravens a proven stopgap after completing 24 of 32 for 201 yards with two TDs and a rushing score in last week's overtime win; he has 12 career starts with Baltimore.
- Newly acquired center Cam Jurgens remains out after failing to clear concussion protocol, linebacker Trey Hendrickson is expected to return from a finger injury, and the team will decide Saturday on activating wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane from injured reserve.
- The immediate stakes are practical: Baltimore must protect its 4-1 start without its star playmaker, manage Jackson's recovery timeline, and monitor Saturday roster moves that could shape its game plan for the AFC North matchup.
