BREAKING: LAMAR JACKSON OUT FOR WEEK 5
ESPN’s NFL Live reports Jackson will miss Sunday’s game at Atlanta. Baltimore scored no second-half points without him in last week’s win over Tennessee.
Lamar Jackson will not play in the Baltimore Ravens’ Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, October 11, ESPN’s NFL Live reported Tuesday.
Jackson injured his ankle in Baltimore’s 24–18 win over the Tennessee Titans on October 4 and did not play in the second half. Tyler Huntley, who replaced him, is in line to start against Atlanta.
Baltimore’s offense stalled badly without Jackson. After building a 24–7 halftime lead, the Ravens scored no second-half points and managed just five first downs across five possessions. Their first four drives ended in punts; the fifth ended in a missed field goal.
Tennessee outscored Baltimore 11–0 after halftime, cutting the lead to six points before the Ravens recovered an onside kick to secure the win. Huntley completed eight of nine passes for 63 yards.
The Ravens visit Atlanta on Sunday Night Football.
