Backup quarterback Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley will start in Jackson's place, as Huntley has been named the starter for the upcoming game.

Minter expressed confidence in Huntley's ability to perform well, stating, 'We have a ton of confidence in [Huntley] to play really well.'

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Jackson has only an outside chance of playing on Sunday Night Football next weekend, and there could be questions beyond that.

The team announced that Jackson was questionable to return after missing the second half of the Ravens’ 24-18 win against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday due to a left ankle injury.

Minter told reporters in his Friday press conference that Jackson is out with the ankle injury he suffered last week, which means Tyler “Snoop” Huntley will start at QB.

The status of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and several other key players is up in the air entering Week 5.

The Ravens will not have star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson in Sunday’s matchup against the Titans.

The Falcons have gone from disastrous to dominant over the past two weeks.

If you do it, you'll most likely be permanently banned, according to the team's rules.

The Ravens could be without Jackson in next Sunday’s matchup with the Falcons.

What this adds

The Ravens have ruled out Lamar Jackson and Trey Hendrickson for their upcoming game at Atlanta because of injuries, confirming earlier reports.

The team's announcement on Friday solidifies the status of Jackson and Hendrickson, providing clarity on their availability for the upcoming game.

Background

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.

Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II could miss multiple weeks due to an ankle injury he suffered during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
