Report: "Outside chance" Lamar Jackson plays in Week 5 - NBC Sports
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is unlikely to play in the upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons due to an ankle injury. Tyler Huntley is expected to start in his place while Jackson continues to be evaluated.
Why it matters
Injury updates for star athletes significantly impact sports betting markets and team performance expectations in the NFL.
Signs continue to point toward Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missing Sunday night’s game in Atlanta.
PFT reported that Jackson was considered week-to-week after injuring his ankle in Baltimore’s Week 4 win over the Titans with an MRI still to come to determine the extent of the issue. Jackson underwent further evaluation on Monday and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that there is only an “outside chance” that he will be available against the Falcons.
Jackson’s chances of playing in Week 6 will rely on how his sprained ankle responds to treatment.
Tyler Huntley will start for the Ravens as long as Jackson is out of action. Huntley was 8-of-9 for 63 yards in the second half of the win over the Titans and he has started 11 times for Baltimore over the years. He also made five starts for the Dolphins in 2024.
