Lamar Jackson’s injury update is one of the biggest storylines for the Baltimore Ravens after their Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans. The two-time MVP suffered an ankle injury in the final plays of the first half, forcing Baltimore to turn to Tyler Huntley.
Jackson’s injury came at a particularly important moment for the Ravens because they entered the second half with a 24-7 advantage. With a 17-point cushion, Baltimore lost its star quarterback for the rest of the game.
Now, the Ravens are scheduled to face the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars over their next five games. That stretch could become a major test for Baltimore, making Jackson’s health even more important.
What’s Lamar Jackson’s injury update?
Lamar Jackson was officially listed as questionable to return after suffering the ankle injury. He did not return to start the second half, with Huntley taking over at quarterback as Baltimore continued to protect its lead.
After the game, head coach Jesse Minter offer an update about Lamar’s situation. “I don’t know enough about it right now, but we’ll have to see where that’s at. Hopefully, it’s in a good spot.” Minter also admitted that there were talks about Jackson coming back to the game, but, ultimately, they decided to keep Huntley.
It’s important to note that Lamar was seen walking along the sideline and supporting his teammates after leaving the game. That does not provide a definitive indication of the severity of an ankle injury, but seeing the quarterback able to move around the sideline was certainly a positive development for Baltimore.
