Ravens QB Lamar Jackson's status vs. Falcons revealed
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson OUT vs. Falcons in Week 5, Tyler Huntley to start on SNF
The Baltimore Ravens have decided to sit out their starting quarterback Lamar Jackson for their upcoming Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. Jackson injured his ankle during a previous matchup against the Tennessee Titans and has missed the last three practices. Despite being the league's two-time MVP this season, Jackson has been solid with six touchdowns, one interception, and a 119.6 passer rating.
The Ravens will rely on backup Tyler Huntley to step in during Sunday's prime-time match-up in Atlanta. Without Jackson, Baltimore will be the underdog for the first time this season, making Atlanta the favored team. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has come through in the clutch, going 2-0 with ratings over 100 in back-to-back games against the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints.
The Falcons have also won two straight games, both on national television, raising the question of whether they can maintain their winning streak. The game will air on NBC as part of their Sunday Night Football broadcast at 8:20 p.m. ET.
