Summary
Lamar Jackson has only an outside chance to play Sunday against Atlanta after spraining his left ankle before halftime of Baltimore's 24-18 Week 4 win over Tennessee.
Sources told NFL Network the injury is not considered long term and should not require surgery, though Jackson could still miss multiple games depending on how rehab progresses.
Jesse Minter said Monday the Ravens were still gathering information and gave no firm timetable, while Tyler Huntley would start if Jackson cannot go.
Baltimore's stakes are high: the Ravens are 3-1 and tied atop the AFC North, but since 2019 they are 79-32 with Jackson and 6-11 without him.
