2026 Week 5 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Lamar Jackson Misses Ravens Practice Thursday
Jackson still off the field with an ankle injury, putting Tyler Huntley in line to start Sunday night against Atlanta.
Lamar Jackson remains out of Baltimore Ravens practice Thursday with the ankle injury that forced him out of the Week 4 win over the Titans, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Head coach Jesse Minter said Wednesday that Jackson doesn't necessarily need to practice to play Sunday night against the Falcons in Atlanta — but missing all of Thursday and potentially Friday makes it hard to feel confident he suits up. If Jackson is ruled out, Tyler Huntley starts, with rookie Joe Fagnano serving as the backup.
The fantasy stakes here are obvious. Jackson is a must-start when healthy, but right now his Week 5 status is genuinely uncertain. Don't wait on official word — line up a streaming backup QB now if your roster is thin at the position.
