Schefty: Lamar Jackson to have MRI on ankle
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Ravens head coach Jesse Minter indicated the team considered re-inserting Lamar Jackson during their game against the Titans, but with a comfortable lead and Jackson's ankle injury, they opted to keep him sidelined.
- Jackson suffered an ankle injury late in the first half after being sacked, which caused him to miss the entire second half, though he had a strong first half with multiple long completions and two touchdown passes.
- Despite being seen in a protective boot and displaying a slight limp, Jackson appeared engaged on the sidelines and is expected to be limited in practice but likely available for the upcoming Week 5 game against the Falcons.
- Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley took over in the second half, while the Ravens leaned on Derrick Henry and managed to secure a close victory with Jackson contributing key plays late in the game.
- Jackson spoke confidently to the media about his readiness for Week 4, and further updates will be provided following the team's injury report; the Ravens remain hopeful he will continue as their starting quarterback.
