Ravens hoping to get QB Lamar Jackson back in time to face Browns
Jackson missed Week 5 recovering from an ankle injury that knocked him out of Baltimore's Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans in the first half.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, according to coach Jesse Minter. Jackson did not participate in Wednesday's practice and was not made available to the media, but he has been working hard to return to action. Earlier this season, Jackson missed Week 5 due to an ankle injury that also ruled him out of the previous Week 4 victory over the Tennessee Titans.
Tyler Huntley has taken on more reps with the starters in Jackson's absence, and Huntley is expected to continue doing so. If Jackson is cleared to play, he will face former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who is now the Browns' head coach. Monken stated that he is preparing for the Ravens more than trying to stop Jackson specifically.
Jackson's presence on the field will force defenses to account for his running ability and mobility, particularly with Derrick Henry as the primary running back. The Ravens anticipate a shorter recovery period for Jackson compared to previous injuries.
