NFL’s Latest Primetime TV Problem? The Injured Baltimore Ravens

Missing Lamar Jackson, the Ravens will be on in primetime both this week and next, which includes a date with the winless Chargers.

NFL’s Latest Primetime TV Problem? The Injured Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have faced a challenging season with key players sidelined due to injuries, raising concerns for the NFL's primetime broadcasting. With Lamar Jackson sidelined by a thumb injury and backup Tyler Huntley nursing a turf toe injury, the Ravens have struggled, losing their game against the Buffalo Bills 36-10. This has led to their team being placed against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a Thursday Night Football matchup, a significant drop in status from their early season Super Bowl favorite status.

Following this, they're set to host a winless Los Angeles Chargers team on Monday Night Football, a game that may be one of the worst Monday Night Footballs in recent memory. The NFL's scheduling rules, enacted in 2006, limit the ability to move these games, which are scheduled based on preseason expectations and not current performance.
