Tyler Huntley is gearing up for another start because Lamar Jackson was a no-show at Thursday’s practice, still battling that ankle injury ahead of Week 6. This is the second day Jackson has missed, and it’s definitely got the Ravens looking at their backup to lead the charge.
The QB Situation: Huntley Steps Up
This Thursday marks Jackson’s second missed practice this week, making it “more likely” that we’ll see Huntley behind center. It’s a tough pill to swallow when your star QB isn’t out there with the squad. Coach Jesse Minter did float the idea that Jackson *could* still start even if he doesn’t practice all week. But realistically, missing two full days of prep usually means the backup is getting all the first-team reps and getting ready to go. You want your guy sharp, especially going into a big Week 6 matchup.
Injury Report Growing For Baltimore
Jackson initially tweaked his ankle late in the first half during Baltimore’s win against the Titans back on October 4. That’s a few weeks now he’s been dealing with this, and it clearly isn’t shaking off as fast as fans would hope. But he’s not the only one missing action. Wide receiver Rashod Bateman, guard John Simpson, tight end Matt Hibner, and defensive lineman Broderick Washington also sat out Thursday’s practice for the Ravens. That’s a lot of key guys on the sidelines, and it’s going to test their depth big time.
The Ravens are set to drop their full injury report later today. We’ll be keeping an eye on it to see if there are any updates before Week 6 kicks off!
