Lamar Jackson Injured, Latest Updates on Ravens Star Amid 'Unconventional' Ankle Sprain

The Baltimore Ravens will be without Lamar Jackson for Sunday's matchup with the Atlanta Falcons as the quarterback continues to deal with an ankle injury.

Jackson was ruled out by head coach Jesse Minter on Friday ahead of the game, with Tyler Huntley in line to start.

Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network previously reported Jackson is dealing with an "unconventional ankle sprain" that isn't considered low or high.

Rapoport previously reported the quarterback could miss multiple games, but that the injury is not "long-term or surgical."

Jackson suffered the injury during his team's 24-18 win against the Tennessee Titans, leaving the stadium in a protective boot after the game.

Jackson has played all eight of his NFL seasons with the Ravens, who selected the former Louisville star and 2016 Heisman Trophy winner with the No. 32 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft.

In 2025, Jackson's season was shortened to 13 games. He missed three contests after suffering a hamstring injury against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. Jackson also sat against the Green Bay Packers in Week 17 due to a back issue, but he was able to return for the season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Needless to say, Jackson's presence is invaluable to the Ravens. Since 2019, which marks Jackson's first full year as the team's starter, Baltimore is just 6-12 without him, per Stat Muse. The Ravens are 73-34 with him.

Baltimore certainly has a capable backup in Huntley, who led the Ravens to an emphatic 41-27 road win over the Packers last year in Jackson's absence. Huntley, a former Utah star, has played six NFL seasons (five with the Ravens, one with the Miami Dolphins).
