Jackson has been dealing with an ankle injury, and optimism about his availability early in the week gave way to his absence as game day approached. This season, he has produced 967 passing yards over four games, guiding the Ravens to a 3-1 record when he starts. He has thrown six touchdowns to one interception and currently holds a league-best passer rating of 119.6.
Tyler Huntley will start in place of Jackson. Huntley has a 8-9 record as a starter.
Browns defense Faces Injury Issues With Lamar Jackson Out
The Browns’ defense is coming off a challenging week, as several key players are nursing injuries. There remains hope that some of the team’s top contributors will be healthy enough to play on Sunday.
Defensive lineman Mason Graham (knee, ankle) and linebacker Carson Schwesinger (ankle) are listed as questionable after limited practice time last week. Edge rusher Derek Barnett (ankle) is also questionable.
Graham could provide valuable depth on the line, though Sam Kamara and Chris Williams performed well in his absence. However, linemen Mike Hall Jr. (ankle) and Kalia Davis (quad) are sidelined, impacting interior and edge rotation.
With these injuries, the Browns will rely on remaining depth and cohesive team defense to slow a Ravens offense led by Huntley at quarterback. The game will test the Browns’ resilience and their ability to adapt on defense as they aim to secure a win at home.
