Ravens Uncertain If Lamar Jackson Will Play Sunday Night
Developing
In Short: Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Monday that quarterback Lamar Jackson's chances of playing in Sunday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons are still unclear.
"I don't know the chances yet," Minter told ESPN, adding that the injury is not expected to be long-term but that the team is still gathering information.
Jackson has missed 17 games this season due to injuries, illness, and coaching decisions.
If Jackson cannot play, the Ravens will start Tyler Huntley, who has a 5-6 record as a fill-in starter.
"The guys believe in him, and I think that's as important as anything," Minter said, referring to Jackson's leadership.
"You just look at what he's done over the last few years and been in must-win situations and got the job done," Minter added, expressing confidence in Jackson's ability.
"We're still gathering a lot of the information and the imaging and things like that, just dealing with a little bit of an ankle and we'll kind of see where that shakes out," Minter said, emphasizing the team's full trust in Jackson.
What's still developing
- Asked whether the injury is considered short or long term, Minter said, "I really don't think it's going to be crazy long term, but we'll see what happens."
