Lamar Jackson ruled out for Ravens-Browns game; Tyler Huntley to start

The Baltimore Ravens have announced that starter Lamar Jackson will be ruled out for their upcoming Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns due to an ankle injury. Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed that Tyler Huntley will take over the starting quarterback role for the second consecutive week. Huntley made his debut for the Ravens during their Week 4 victory against Tennessee and continued to impress in the Week 5 win over Atlanta, where he completed 24-of-32 passes for 201 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions, along with adding 20 rushing yards on six carries.

Huntley has started 12 games over six seasons with the Ravens and has never started a regular-season game against Cincinnati, though he did lead them to a 24-17 postseason defeat in January 2023. The Ravens are set to host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7 at M&T Bank Stadium.
