What happened: Tyler Huntley will start at quarterback against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. He steps in for Lamar Jackson, who was officially ruled out following an ankle injury.

Why it matters: The quarterback change shifts the offensive approach for the Week 5 matchup. Huntley provides an experienced presence under center. The offense will operate without Jackson's primary dual-threat production.

By the numbers: In 2025, Huntley completed 52 of 67 pass attempts for 426 yards and two touchdowns over five games. Jackson logged 2,549 passing yards and 21 touchdowns in 13 appearances last season.

What to watch: Huntley commands the offense on Sunday while the medical staff monitors Jackson's recovery timeline.
