Lamar Jackson is looking like a serious long shot for the Ravens’ Sunday night matchup in Atlanta, with reports calling his availability an “outside chance” after an ankle injury in Week 4. This isn’t just a minor ding, either, as the buzz around Baltimore is all about how crucial his recovery will be for their season.
The Ankle Injury That Has Everyone Talking
The initial word was that Jackson was considered week-to-week after injuring his ankle in Baltimore’s Week 4 win over the Titans. Early reports even mentioned an MRI was still on the way to figure out just how bad the issue was. But things got more serious. After further evaluation on Monday, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport dropped the news: it’s only an “outside chance” for Lamar to suit up against the Falcons. This isn’t just a tough break, it puts the Ravens in a real bind early in the regular season.
Tyler Huntley’s Big Moment Is Right Now
With Jackson sidelined, Tyler Huntley is stepping into the starter role for the Ravens. You saw him in the second half of that Titans game, going 8-of-9 for 63 yards, which is solid, no doubt. He’s not new to this, either. Huntley has started 11 times for Baltimore over the years, and he even had five starts for the Dolphins back in 2024. This isn’t some rookie getting thrown to the wolves; Huntley has experience, and the Ravens are gonna need every bit of it while their star QB is healing up.
Jackson’s chances of playing in Week 6 are gonna rely entirely on how that sprained ankle responds to treatment. It’s a waiting game now, and every Ravens fan is gonna be glued to any updates. Tyler Huntley’s gotta hold it down for now, and every snap matters for Baltimore’s season.
