The Ravens have three games in 12 days, with a visit to Buffalo next Sunday and then a home game against the Jaguars on Via @TomPelissero on X

What happened: Lamar Jackson (ankle) was listed as questionable after practicing as a limited participant on Friday before Baltimore downgraded him to out for Sunday's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Snoop Huntley will make his third straight start at quarterback in Jackson's place, per Tom Pelissero and Adam Schefter, extending his fill-in run for the Ravens.

Why it matters: Holding Jackson out Sunday comes as Baltimore opens a compressed stretch of three games in 12 days despite his increased Friday workload. The AFC North game carries immediate playoff positioning stakes between the No. 7 seed Ravens and the No. 8 seed Bengals.

By the numbers: Baltimore enters Week 7 at 4-2 (No. 7 seed, L1) following a 13-10 road loss on Oct. 18, while Cincinnati sits at 3-2 (No. 8 seed, W1) after a 31-24 road win on Oct. 11. Upcoming Thursday opponent Jacksonville is also 4-2 (No. 3 seed, L1) after a 34-31 loss on Oct. 18.

What to watch: After facing the Bengals on Sunday, the Ravens visit Buffalo next Sunday and return home to host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night.
