Lamar Jackson has a realistic chance to return against Browns

Lamar Jackson has a realistic chance to return against Browns

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson could return Sunday for a Week 6 game against the Cleveland Browns.

Jackson sprained his left ankle during a Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans and missed the Ravens' next game against Atlanta.

Backup Tyler Huntley led Baltimore to a 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons, keeping the team at 4-1.

Coach Jesse Minter said Jackson is improving and the Ravens expect to know more by midweek.

Jackson had looked back to his usual form early this season, leading the NFL in yards per attempt and averaging 7.6 yards per carry.

His availability matters to a team that has performed much better with him starting than without him since 2019.

If Jackson cannot play, Huntley is available to start; Baltimore also expects new center Cam Jurgens to be nearing a return after concussion protocol.
