Ravens' QB Lamar Jackson misses Thursday practice with an ankle injury

Lamar Jackson was absent again from Ravens practice Thursday with an ankle injury ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an ongoing ankle injury, according to Brian Wacker. This is the second consecutive day Jackson has missed practice, following his absence on Wednesday. Jackson suffered the ankle injury during the team's Week 4 win against the Tennessee Titans and did not play in the second half of that game.

As a result, Baltimore's quarterback situation remains uncertain ahead of their Sunday night game against the Atlanta Falcons. Tyler Huntley would take over as the starter if Jackson is unable to play. Coach Jesse Minter stated on Wednesday that Jackson is receiving treatment and his experience might allow him to play without practicing during the week.

Minter expressed confidence in Huntley's ability to handle much of Baltimore's offensive system, including under-center concepts and the running game. Jackson's absence from practice on Thursday does not confirm his availability for Sunday's game. The Ravens will provide an update on Jackson's status through subsequent injury reports and a game-status announcement as they prepare for their Sunday night matchup against the Falcons on NBC.
