Ravens QB Lamar Jackson doesn't practice Wednesday, considered day-to-day

Jackson missed last week's win over the Falcons due to an ankle sprain he suffered in Week 4.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed Wednesday's practice and remains in a day-to-day status regarding his health, according to head coach Jesse Minter. Jackson suffered a sprained ankle during the team's Week 4 win against the Tennessee Titans. He previously sat out last week before being ruled out two days before the Ravens' overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Minter stated on Monday that Jackson is improving but wants to observe his performance in practice before determining his availability for the Week 6 game against the Cleveland Browns. With no practice on Wednesday, Jackson will have two additional days to practice before receiving a game designation as the team prepares for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Browns.

Tyler Huntley substituted for Jackson in the second half of the Titans game and completed 8 of 9 passes for 63 yards. He also played the entire duration of Baltimore's win over the Falcons, throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns, along with rushing for 20 yards and a touchdown. Should Jackson be unable to play against the Browns, Huntley is anticipated to return as the starting quarterback.

Since Jackson took over as the Ravens' starting quarterback in 2019, the team has gone 7-11 in games he has missed. The Ravens currently lead the AFC North with a 4-1 record. After Sunday's divisional game against the Browns, Baltimore will face the Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, and Jacksonville Jaguars over the following three weeks.
