Overview
- The Ravens confirmed Friday that Lamar Jackson will not play Sunday night in Atlanta after suffering an ankle sprain and missing all in‑week practices.
- Tyler Huntley will start under center, a move that shifts play-calling toward more under‑center and run plays to protect the offense without Jackson’s mobility.
- Baltimore also ruled out defensive end Trey Hendrickson and newly acquired center Cam Jurgens for Week 5, leaving the line and pass rush thinner than expected.
- The Falcons arrive with momentum, averaging roughly 40 points over their last two games under Michael Penix Jr., which raises the test for a Ravens attack leaning on Derrick Henry against a top run defense.
- The team says the absence is for Week 5 only, but reports suggest the ankle could sideline Jackson multiple weeks and his past missed-game history raises concern about near-term availability.
