The Baltimore Ravens are taking on the Atlanta Falcons on the road during Sunday Night Football as they look to make it three consecutive wins. However, Baltimore will have to navigate the matchup without star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
Jackson missed the Ravens’ Week 5 matchup after sustaining an ankle injury in the team’s previous game against the Tennessee Titans. They are scheduled to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 6, which could provide an opportunity for the quarterback to return after approximately two weeks of recovery. He was hurt in the second quarter of Baltimore’s win when Titans defensive end Jermaine Johnson brought him down, landing his shoulder on the quarterback’s left ankle. The Ravens have classified Jackson’s ankle injury as week-to-week, making his return timeline uncertain. However, if the franchise opts to take a more cautious approach, Jackson could remain sidelined until the team’s home game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach Jesse Minter has yet to provide a definite update on whether Jackson will be available for next week’s clash with Cleveland.
