Ravens Leave Door Open for Possible Lamar Jackson Return in Week 5

The Baltimore Ravens are keeping the possibility of quarterback Lamar Jackson's return open for their Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Jackson suffered a left ankle injury during Sunday's Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans, missing the second half and the remainder of the game with a protective walking boot. According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Jackson could be out for multiple games due to the ankle issue.

However, Ravens head coach Jesse Minter has not ruled out the chance of Jackson playing as early as Week 5. Minter emphasized Jackson's commitment to recovery, stating that he is diligently receiving treatment and making progress. As of Wednesday, Minter indicated that a decision on Jackson's readiness would be made later in the week.

Prior to his injury, Jackson completed 15 of his 20 pass attempts for 222 yards and two touchdowns, along with rushing for an additional 20 yards. He was replaced in the second half by Tyler Huntley, who threw for 63 yards. The Ravens are set to host the Falcons at 8:20 p.m. ET for Sunday's primetime matchup.
