Bengals get Lamar Jackson injury update ahead of Ravens showdown
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Lamar Jackson's chances of playing against the Bengals remain 50-50 ahead of Sunday's AFC North matchup.
The Cincinnati Bengals are still uncertain if they will face Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson in Sunday's AFC North matchup. Despite the star player rejoining practice this week, his availability for the game remains uncertain, with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reporting that a source has placed his chances of playing at 50-50.
Fowler explained that today is crucial for assessing Jackson's ankle sprain. Baltimore is cautiously optimistic, using Saturday's walkthrough as a chance to evaluate Jackson's condition. The two-time MVP has missed the past two games after suffering an ankle injury against the Tennessee Titans on October 4. He returned to practice this week but was limited on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Jackson confirmed on Friday that his ankle is improving, though he continued to experience discomfort that has impacted his mobility. Should Jackson be unable to play, Tyler Huntley would take over as the starting quarterback for the third consecutive game. The uncertainty surrounding Baltimore's starting quarterback persists ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
