Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is facing a potential multi-game absence due to an ankle injury sustained during Sunday's victory over the Tennessee Titans.
NFL Network reported Tuesday that Jackson is unlikely to participate in the Ravens' Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. If Jackson is unable to play, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is expected to take over.
Jackson, a two-time MVP, underwent an MRI on Monday to assess the severity of the injury. The results appear to indicate a significant concern, potentially impacting the Ravens' offensive strategy in the coming weeks.
The Ravens' schedule following the Falcons game includes a road trip to face division rival Cleveland Browns on October 18, followed by a home game against the Cincinnati Bengals on October 25. The team will need to prepare for these contests without their starting quarterback if his recovery is prolonged.
Jackson's injury adds a significant challenge for the Ravens, particularly as they prepare to face an Atlanta Falcons team that recently dominated the New Orleans Saints.
