2026 Week 5 Fantasy Football: Lamar Jackson Ankle Injury Reaction
Jackson sat out the second half Sunday with an ankle injury — here's what it means for your roster.
Lamar Jackson left Sunday's Ravens win over the Titans at halftime with an ankle injury and did not return, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Head coach Jesse Minter said after the game there were conversations about bringing Jackson back, but Baltimore held a 24-7 lead and rode backup Tyler Huntley the rest of the way against a Tennessee team that managed only a late touchdown and a field goal in the second half.

Minter's tone was cautiously optimistic — "hopefully it's in a good spot" — which is better than nothing, but it's far from a clean bill of health. The source story also notes Jackson was limited in practice last Wednesday with a back injury, so this is a player dealing with multiple issues heading into a Sunday night game in Atlanta. The Ravens haven't provided a timeline, and the coming days will be critical for clarity. Until you hear he's practicing fully, treat Jackson as a game-time decision for Week 6 — don't start him blind in a must-win matchup. In dynasty, no alarm bells yet, but monitor the injury reports closely this week.
