Ravens make final decision on Lamar Jackson's availability in Week 6

By Andrew Wright | Last updated Oct 16, 2026 2:14 PM ET

For the second consecutive week, the Baltimore Ravens will have to navigate a difficult situation without their biggest offensive weapon on the field.

Lamar Jackson has been ruled out

According to Baltimore's injury report released on Friday, quarterback Lamar Jackson is out for a second consecutive week with an ankle injury.

Jackson injured his ankle in the second half of the Ravens' win in Week 4 before ultimately being forced to miss Week 5. Without Jackson, it will be Tyler "Snoop" Huntley getting the nod against the Cleveland Browns.

Tyler Huntley has played well this season

In his limited action this season, Huntley has played well and proved why he continues to be considered one of the best backup quarterbacks in the NFL.

Huntley has completed 32-of-41 passes for 264 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers. He's also carried 10 times for 36 yards with a touchdown on the ground.

He's been more than capable under center for Baltimore and even led it down the field to force overtime and eventually win in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Baltimore Ravens have a massive stretch of games coming up after Week 6

After Week 6 against Cleveland, the Ravens have a massive three-game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Baltimore will need Jackson at 100% for that three-game span that could ultimately determine playoff seeding when January rolls around.
