With games against the Bills and Jaguars looming, the Ravens need Lamar Jackson
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Baltimore Ravens are facing uncertainty about when quarterback Lamar Jackson will return to play after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 4, impacting their performance significantly.
- The team is 3-1 with Jackson and 1-2 without him, currently starting 0-2 in the AFC North for the first time since 2007 after recent losses to the Browns and Bengals.
- Jackson downgraded from questionable to out for the upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals, with his return against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday still uncertain due to pain and mobility issues.
- The Ravens' next two games are critical for their postseason hopes, with a 4-3 record potentially falling to 4-5 without Jackson, making his availability a key factor in their chances to win.
- If Jackson participates fully in practice midweek, it could indicate readiness to play, but if he doesn't, backup Tyler Huntley may not get sufficient first-team reps, complicating the team's preparation for the Bills game.
