Lamar Jackson ruled out as Ravens prepare to face Falcons
The Baltimore Ravens will play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday without quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
Jackson hurt his ankle during Baltimore’s Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans and did not practice this week.
Backup Tyler Huntley is set to start for the 3-1 Ravens.
The team has won 68.9% of games in which Jackson started, compared with 37% of games in which he did not start, including postseason games.
That difference makes Jackson’s absence important as Baltimore faces a Falcons team coming off a 45-24 win over the New Orleans Saints.
The Ravens’ next two games are against Cleveland and Cincinnati, both division rivals.
The sources do not say when Jackson is expected to return.
The Baltimore Ravens ruled out quarterback Lamar Jackson for their Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons because of an ankle injury.
Tyler Huntley will start at quarterback for Baltimore, his first start of the season.
Jackson injured his ankle during the Ravens' Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans and did not practice during the week.
Head coach Jesse Minter said the team has confidence in Huntley and that Jackson is working to recover, but Jackson's return timeline is not yet known.
The Ravens enter the matchup with a 3-1 record and will face a Falcons team coming off a 45-24 win over the New Orleans Saints.
