Ravens Rule Out Lamar Jackson for Week 7 vs. Bengals

Tyler Huntley will start after Baltimore downgraded Jackson to out to protect his recovery from a left high-ankle sprain.

Overview

  • The Ravens announced Saturday that Jackson is out for Week 7 after practicing in a limited role all week and being listed as questionable on the final injury report.
  • Tyler “Snoop” Huntley will make his third straight start for Baltimore, taking the snap at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday.
  • Jackson has said he is "heading in the right direction" but told reporters pain tolerance and whether he can be effective would determine his availability.
  • Cincinnati prepared for either starter during the week and will now concentrate game planning on Huntley’s style, which reduces reliance on Jackson’s mobility and may increase Baltimore’s use of Derrick Henry and short-run plays.
  • The decision reflects the Ravens’ cautious approach to Jackson’s high-ankle sprain and underscores the on-field gap: Baltimore has scored 116 points and 14 touchdowns with Jackson this season compared with 40 points and four touchdowns without him.
