Ravens QB Lamar Jackson Could Miss Multiple Games After New Injury Development
The Baltimore Ravens got some disappointing news on QB Lamar Jackson's injury prognosis on Tuesday.
The Baltimore Ravens are facing challenges as their star quarterback, Lamar Jackson, may miss multiple games following a new injury development. Currently, the Ravens are tied with the Cleveland Browns at the top of the AFC North, and a healthy Jackson is crucial for them to maintain their lead. In Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, Jackson left the field with an ankle injury, leaving the team with limited information about the severity of the issue after a further evaluation on Monday.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Jackson is dealing with a sprained ankle, which gives him only a slight chance of playing in the upcoming Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons. The extent of the injury could force Jackson to miss multiple games, although it is not considered long-term or requiring surgery. If Jackson is unable to play, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is set to start in his place.
Jackson has had a remarkable start to the season, leading the Ravens to their first three wins. He has completed 70.8% of his passes for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and an interception, with a passer rating of 119.6. He has also contributed significantly on the ground, adding 144 yards and a touchdown. In Jackson's absence, Huntley has stepped up, completing 8 of 9 passes for 63 yards and rushing for an additional 16 yards in the Titans game.
