Jackson (ankle) officially went down as a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Jackson wasn't spotted by reporters earlier in the day, and Baltimore's injury report confirms his second absence in as many days to begin Week 6 prep. The Ravens haven't given up hope regarding their starting QB returning for Sunday's pivotal game in Cleveland, but it would take a return to practice in some capacity from Jackson to provide real optimism regarding his status. Tyler Huntley would make a second consecutive start should Jackson sit out Sunday.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Another absence Thursday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Jesse Minter has stated that Jackson doesn't necessarily need to practice in order to take the field Sunday against the Browns, but a return to practice in any capacity Friday certainly wouldn't hurt considering Jackson hasn't practiced or played since the first half of Baltimore's Week 4 win over the Titans. Tyler Huntley finished out that victory and guided the Ravens to an overtime win over the Falcons in Week 5. Huntley would make a second consecutive start in Sunday's clash between AFC North rivals if Jackson is ultimately unable to play.

Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) wasn't present for the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Jackson missed the Ravens' Week 5 win in Atlanta due to a left ankle injury suffered one week prior, and while head coach Jesse Minter told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com on Monday that the quarterback is "definitely doing better," his potential lack of activity to begin Week 6 prep isn't a great sign. Wednesday's practice report will unveal whether or not Jackson was able to mix into drills.

Jackson was held out of Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons due to a left ankle sprain that he sustained during the Ravens' Week 4 win over the Titans. Minter added that he wasn't sure whether Jackson would be cleared to practice Wednesday, and the superstar quarterback's participation during Week 6 prep will ultimately determine whether he or Tyler Huntley starts against the Browns on Oct. 18.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: 'Real chance' at Week 6 return
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, has a "real chance" to return to action next week against Cleveland, pending how he responds to rehab, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jackson didn't practice in an fashion this week after he was sidelined for the entire second half of last Sunday's win over the Titans, but the Ravens remain optimistic that his ankle injury is a short-term concern. Though Tyler Huntley will get the starting nod in place of Jackson against Atlanta, Rapoport notes that the Ravens' franchise quarterback has been "in the building early working crazy to get himself back on the field" this week. Assuming the rehab work Jackson has put in translates into him returning to practice at some point next week, he should be able to meet his goal of playing after a one-game absence.

After Jackson didn't practice all week, this comes as no surprise. Tyler Huntley is expected to get the start in Jackson's place after he handled first-team reps in practice this week. It's a green-light spot for the Falcons defense in fantasy.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Remains absent Friday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) was not present for Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
With Jackson absent from practice all week, he'll likely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. While Jackson could play without practicing, all signs continue to point to Tyler Huntley making the Week 5 start. Atlanta's defense has been wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks and would be a unit to stream at home this week against the backup quarterback if Jackson is ultimately ruled out.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Remains sidelined Thursday

Jackson is set for a second consecutive absence to begin Week 5 prep, which doesn't bode well for his availability for Sunday night's game in Atlanta.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: No practice, but not ruled out for Week 5
Rotowire
The Ravens listed Jackson (ankle) as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
Head coach Jesse Minter was non-committal on Jackson's status for the Ravens' Week 5 matchup with the Falcons following practice, noting that "there'll be a point later in the week" where the team "figures out where he's at." Per Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun, Minter also noted Wednesday that Jackson could miss the majority of the practice week and still play Sunday, but at this point, the two-time MVP seems more likely than not to sit out in Atlanta while he manages a sprained left ankle. Tyler Huntley took the reps with the first-team offense during Wednesday's practice and would be in line to start if Jackson is sidelined this weekend.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Could miss multiple games
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) is not dealing with a long-term injury, but he has "only an outside chance to play" in Week 5 and "could end up missing multiple games," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jackson is believed to be dealing with a sprain, but the report indicates it's more likely than not he will sit out Baltimore's upcoming Sunday Night Football matchup with Atlanta -- and he may miss more time beyond that. Jackson's participation -- or lack thereof -- in practice this week will likely determine his availability for Week 5, and if he is unable to go Tyler Huntley would be next in line at the signal-caller spot.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Availability uncertain for Week 5
Rotowire
Head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that he's uncertain whether Jackson (ankle) will be ready to play in Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. "I don't know the chances yet," Minter said. "We're still gathering a lot of the information and the imaging and things like that, just dealing with a little bit of an ankle and we'll kind of see where that shakes out."
After sitting out the entire second half of Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans due to the left ankle injury he sustained late in the second quarter, Jackson was spotted in a walking boot following the contest. The Ravens are tentatively Jackson as day-to-day, with Minter noting that at the very least, the quarterback's injury isn't "going to be crazy long-term." The team should have a better feel for Jackson's status once the results of the MRI he underwent Monday are available, and Minter expressed confidence in backup Tyler Huntley's ability to step in and direct the offense in the event the two-time MVP is unable to play Week 5.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Day-to-day, set for tests on ankle
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Monday and is considered day-to-day after exiting Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans, but the Ravens are hopeful he'll be ready to play Week 5 versus the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jackson completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 222 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions and added two carries for 20 yards before he appeared to tweak his left ankle in the waning seconds of the second quarter. Though the Ravens listed him as questionable to return coming out of halftime, Jackson ended up sitting out the entire final two quarters while backup Tyler Huntley directed the offense. The two-time MVP was spotted leaving the stadium in a walking boot following the game, though Rapoport notes that Jackson may have been wearing the boot simply to avoid further aggravation of the injury. The upcoming medical tests will ultimately provide more information regarding the severity of Jackson's injury, but the Ravens' early expectation is that the star quarterback will be back under center next weekend.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Quiet in Week 2 loss
Rotowire
Jackson completed 21 of 31 passes for 235 yards and a touchdown and an interception while adding 34 rushing yards on four carries in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints.
After throwing for 324 yards and averaging 13.0 yards per attempt in a win over the Colts last week, Jackson's passing numbers fell back to earth with Zay Flowers (hamstring) sidelined. The star QB still had a chance to put together a game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter, but Rashod Bateman broke off a route early and Jackson's pass attempt deep into New Orleans territory got intercepted instead. It was Jackson's first INT in two games, and he's amassed 559 passing yards and 74 rushing yards with three total TDs (two passing, one rushing) heading into a Week 3 road trip to Dallas.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Explains lack of rushing in 2025
Rotowire
Jackson told reporters recently that injuries factored into his running less in 2025, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. "I believe you know ... a lot of people know [that] I was hurt last year, so I really could not do anything like I wanted to," said Jackson.
Hamstring and back injuries forced Jackson to miss four games last season and sapped his rushing ability even when he was active. This led to Jackson posting career lows in rushing attempts (67) and yards (349). Jackson is now fully healthy going into 2026, his first season operating Declan Doyle's offense. The Ravens open the season on the road in Indianapolis on Sept. 13.

Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Not in line to play in preseason opener
Rotowire
Coach Jesse Minter noted Tuesday that Jackson and other key starters won't play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Eagles, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
There's little to gain by putting Jackson in harms way during the preseason, and there's a pretty solid chance he'll be held out of the team's other two exhibition contests as well. Tyler Huntley, Skylar Thompson (undisclosed) and Joe Fagnano are candidates to lead the offense this weekend against the Eagles.
