The Atlanta Falcons Host The Baltimore Ravens On Sunday Night Football With QB Lamar Jackson Ruled Out Due To Injury; Tyler Huntley To Serve As Ravens Backup + Full Sunday & Monday Game Schedule

The Baltimore Ravens will take the field under the primetime lights tonight without their biggest star, confirming that quarterback Lamar Jackson will miss this evening’s highly anticipated matchup against the Atlanta Falcons due to an ankle injury.

The two-time MVP suffered the ankle sprain during the Ravens’ Week 4 victory over the Tennessee Titans. After a week of intense speculation regarding his availability, team officials officially ruled Jackson out, shifting the national spotlight to backup quarterback Tyler Huntley.

Huntley, who is set to make his first start of the season under center, faces a tall task. He enters a hostile environment at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to duel with a surging Falcons defense. Head coach Jesse Minter expressed confidence in his backup earlier this week, noting that Huntley’s dual-threat capabilities allow Baltimore to keep its core offensive playbook intact.

The Falcons, meanwhile, look to capitalize on Jackson’s absence. Atlanta’s offense has found its rhythm behind quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who has ignited the team’s passing game since returning to the starting lineup. A victory tonight would firmly cement Atlanta’s status as a legitimate contender in the NFC.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 PM EDT, with national television coverage broadcasted on NBC and Peacock.
