Lamar Jackson's Injury Update Ahead of Falcons Game

Lamar Jackson, the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, is likely to miss the game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday due to an ankle injury sustained during a previous match against the Tennessee Titans. Despite head coach Jesse Minter's earlier comments suggesting that Jackson might not need to practice to start, he has not participated in practice all week.

League insider Ian Rapoport indicated that he would be surprised if Jackson played this weekend, leading to backup Tyler Huntley preparing to start. Huntley had a successful outing in relief against the Titans, completing 8 of 9 passes for 63 yards.

Jackson's injury could potentially keep him out for multiple weeks, although the Ravens are hopeful that he will only miss this game. Following the Falcons matchup, the Ravens will face the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals in consecutive weeks.
