What happened: Lamar Jackson has been officially ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Jesse Minter confirmed the decision, sidelining the quarterback for the prime-time matchup.

Why it matters: The absence forces a change under center for the prime-time road game. The decision comes after he missed practice time earlier in the week while managing the injury.

What to watch: The team will turn to its backup quarterback for the road game in Atlanta.
