Ian Rapoport reports that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has a sprained ankle and an outside chance of playing against the Falcons this Sunday.
Rapoport added that Jackson could miss multiple weeks depending on how his rehab goes, but the injury isn’t considered long-term. Rapoport also ruled out surgery as a possibility.
He had previously left the stadium in a protective walking boot and was considered day-to-day.
Jackson, 29, was a first-round pick of the Ravens in 2018. He played out the fourth year of his four-year, $9,471,652 contract that included a $5,968,472 signing bonus.
The Ravens picked up Jackson’s fifth-year option, which cost them $23 million, fully guaranteed for 2022. He was due to become an unrestricted free agent in 2023 when the Ravens used the non-exclusive franchise tag at a fully guaranteed $32.3 million.
Baltimore later signed Jackson to a five-year, $260 million extension. He’s scheduled to carry cap numbers of $34,390,000 and $84,340,000 in the final two years of the deal in 2026 and 2027.
In 2026, Jackson has appeared in four games for the Ravens and threw for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception while completing 70.8 percent of his passes. He also rushed 19 times for 144 yards and one touchdown.
