Lamar Jackson headed in the ‘right direction,’ but Week 7 availability still unclear

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson stated that he is heading in the right direction, but his availability remains uncertain for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson, who has been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain against the Tennessee Titans on October 4, practiced on a limited basis for three consecutive days and is officially listed as questionable.

Jackson explained that he will not play if restricted mobility limits his ability to protect himself and perform effectively. Head coach Jesse Minter indicated a final decision could be made as late as Sunday morning, with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley prepared to make his third straight start if Jackson cannot play.
