Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. <\/p>\n
The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> won without 2-time NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson<\/a> in less-than-ideal circumstances in Week 5 \u2014 on the road against the upstart Atlanta Falcons<\/a>, with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley<\/a> starting and leading the team to a 30-23 win in overtime.<\/p>\n It turns out Huntley might be the NFL\u2019s best backup quarterback, which is another reason the Ravens are legitimate contenders. And getting Jackson back soon is another, after an ankle injury suffered in Week 4.<\/p>\n \u201cTo his credit, (Lamar) is doing everything he can to get back out there,\u201d Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said<\/a> on Monday. \u201cWhat a wonderful teammate and leader he was even when he\u2019s not playing.\u201d<\/p>\n The Ravens play their first NFC North Division opponent in Week 6, traveling to face the 3-2 Cleveland Browns<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cCould be interesting week on injury\/recovery front,\u201d The Athletic\u2019s Jeff Zrebiec wrote<\/a> on his official X account on Monday. \u201cIs Lamar Jackson<\/a> ready to go? Can Trey Hendrickson<\/a> return? Will Cam Jurgens<\/a> clear concussion protocol in time to play Sunday? Also, WR Ja\u2019Kobi Lane and CB TJ Tampa are eligible to return to practice this week if they are able.\u201d<\/p>\n Snoop swooped in and rallied his Ravens troop \ud83e\udd37<\/p>\n Tyler Huntley\u2019s late game heroics sealed the @Ravens<\/a> victory <\/p>\n Snoop Huntley Continues to Shine for Ravens<\/p>\n Jackson himself heaped praise on Huntley after he won his 3rd consecutive start in place of Jackson dating back to last season.<\/p>\n \u201cMake it rainnnnnnnnn!\u201d Jackson wrote<\/a> on his official Instagram account on Monday. \u201c5 Gon do it!!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTyler Huntley completed his FINAL 11 passes against Atlanta,\u201d Ravens Nation Live wrote on its official X account. \u201c11\/11, 80 passing yards, 1 passing TD. He then finished the game with a rushing TD in overtime. With the game on the line, Snoop didn\u2019t miss.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The Ravens are now 4-1 and lead the AFC North by one game over the Browns, Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>, and Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>, all 3-2.<\/p>\n Jackson Suffered Injury in Win Over Titans<\/p>\n Jackson did not play the 2nd half of a Week 4 win over the Titans<\/a> after hurting his ankle late in the first half.<\/p>\n \u201cLamar Jackson: Left high-ankle sprain, hopefully a mild grade 1,\u201d Dr. Jesse Morse wrote<\/a> on his official X account. \u201cI expect him to miss the rest of the game if the high\/medial ankle is sprained, especially since they\u2019re up 24-7. Not worth the risk.\u201d<\/p>\n Jackson was playing at his usual MVP level when he left the game. In the first half, he was 15-of-20, for 222 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions, and he added 2 carries for 20 yards.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tTony Adame<\/a> covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, and the entire NFC East Division.
