Jesse Minter on Lamar Jackson: A lot of time between now and Sunday

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn’t practice on Wednesday because of the ankle injury that has left doubt about whether he’ll play against the Falcons this Sunday, but head coach Jesse Minter isn’t ruling him out at this point.

Minter said he wasn’t worried about Jackson being prepared to play because of missed practice time and that the team isn’t going to rush making any decision until they see how he responds to treatment in the coming days.

“It’s Wednesday. There’s a lot of time between now and Sunday,” Minter said. “To Lamar’s credit, he’s getting a lot of treatment and doing things. There’ll be a point later in the week where we’ll kinda figure out where it’s at. . . . When he’s ready to play, he’ll be ready to play.”

Tyler Huntley will get the start for Baltimore if Jackson does not play. He was 8-of-9 for 63 yards in the second half of last Sunday’s win over the Titans.
