Latest Lamar Jackson Update is Not a Good Sign for Week 5

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson wasn't spotted at practice for the third straight day as he deals with an ankle injury.

Lamar Jackson's latest injury update casts doubt on Baltimore Ravens' upcoming clash against the Atlanta Falcons. The two-time MVP quarterback has been absent from Friday's media-friendly practice sessions and has missed a week of activities, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. Initially, Ravens head coach Jesse Minter believed Jackson could still play despite limited practice time, but the prognosis is grim.

With Jackson sidelined, backup Tyler Huntley is prepared to step in. Known as "Snoop," Jackson played a crucial role last season, ensuring the team stayed afloat until the star returned. The Ravens, currently on a winning streak, aim to maintain momentum heading into the playoffs. However, their objective of keeping Jackson healthy for Sunday's game in Mercedes-Bank Stadium might prove challenging.

The 29-year-old has been impressive so far, completing 70.8 percent of his passes for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and only one interception while contributing 144 rushing yards and a score.
