Who will start at QB for Baltimore Ravens with Lamar Jackson injured?

The Ravens will turn to their backup on Sunday with Lamar Jackson out.

The Baltimore Ravens will be without their starting quarterback Lamar Jackson for this Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons due to an ankle sprain sustained during their Week 4 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Coach Jesse Minter confirmed on Friday that Jackson will not play in the upcoming match, despite earlier optimism that he might not miss any time.

With Jackson sidelined, the team has turned to his backup, Tyler Huntley, to lead the offense. Huntley, who entered the game against the Titans after briefly starting, has proven his capability to handle the role. He completed 8 of 9 passes for 63 yards and added 16 rushing yards, contributing significantly to the team's performance.

Minter praised Huntley's ability to run the offense and make plays with his legs, noting that he has performed well in games played in Jackson's absence. This will be Huntley's first start of the season. Over his seven-season career, he has made 16 starts, including two in place of an injured Jackson last season, where he went 2-0. As for his career as a starter, Huntley holds a 7-9 record.
