The Story in 60 Seconds

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to an ankle injury. Jackson revealed he is recovering from a high ankle sprain suffered on Oct. 4 against the Tennessee Titans. While swelling has subsided, he noted lingering pain and stated his availability will depend on pain tolerance and mobility.

Jackson participated on a limited basis in practice all week, but he expressed caution after regretting rushing back from an injury last season. Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed the team will take as much time as necessary to decide. If Jackson cannot play, Tyler Huntley will make his third straight start.
