Overview
- Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed Friday that Jackson will not play Sunday night in Atlanta and that Tyler Huntley will start in his place.
- Jackson suffered the left-ankle sprain in the second quarter of the Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans and did not practice at any point this week.
- Huntley, who relieved Jackson against Tennessee and completed 8-of-9 passes, has prior starting experience with the Ravens and will run the offense with personnel continuity.
- Baltimore plans to lean more on Derrick Henry and a power rushing attack to protect Huntley and control the clock while the team monitors Jackson’s rehab.
- NFL insiders say the sprain is an unconventional injury that could keep Jackson out multiple games depending on recovery, a development that changes short-term division implications and betting lines.
