What happened: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will miss his second consecutive game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns due to a left ankle sprain sustained against the Tennessee Titans. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley will make his second start of the season after filling in against the Atlanta Falcons.

Why it matters: Baltimore sits atop the AFC North and leans on Huntley to steady the offense in a divisional matchup against Cleveland. Head coach Jesse Minter cited the veteran backup's calm demeanor and command of the locker room while Jackson remains sidelined.

What to watch: Huntley leads the Ravens into Sunday's divisional kickoff against the Browns with first place in the AFC North at stake. Baltimore's practice reports next week will provide the next formal update on Jackson's availability.
