Ravens likely to start Tyler Huntley as Lamar Jackson sits out second straight game
Quarterback Lamar Jackson missed Friday's practice due to an ankle injury, prompting the Baltimore Ravens to consider Tyler Huntley as the starter for the upcoming Week 6 game against the Browns.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was absent from the media-accessible portion of Friday's practice as he continues to recover from an ankle injury sustained on Oct. 4. Head coach Jesse Minter indicated that Jackson could still play in the Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns without having practiced, but the team appears poised to start backup quarterback Tyler Huntley.
Huntley, who threw for 201 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Ravens' victory over the Atlanta Falcons last week, also added a rushing touchdown on six carries. The coaching staff is expected to confirm the starter after Friday's media briefing, and the Ravens will release an official injury report later in the day.
In addition to Jackson, left tackle Ronnie Stanley, tight end Matt Hibner, and defensive linemen Calais Campbell and Broderick Washington were also absent from practice.
