Lamar Jackson has realistic chance to return vs. Browns in Week 6

Missed Week 5 with ankle injury after 6 TDs in four starts

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 1h1 min read

What happened: Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Monday Jackson was definitely doing better after missing Week 5 with an ankle injury. ESPN gives Jackson a realistic chance to face Cleveland on Sunday after missing all practices last week.

Why it matters: Baltimore gets its starting quarterback back in the frame for an AFC North road game. His availability decides whether the Ravens repeat last week's replacement plan or restore the regular offense. The call also shapes preparation on a short week before Sunday at Cleveland.

By the numbers: Through four games this season: 70.8% completions for 967 yards, 6 TDs, 1 INT; 144 rushing yards with 1 TD. In 2025: 192 of 302 for 2,549 yards, 21 TDs, 7 INTs across 13 games.

What to watch: Baltimore's first Week 6 injury report is due Wednesday. That listing will clarify whether Jackson returns to practice.
