2026 Week 7 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Lamar Jackson Still Not Practicing Wednesday
Jackson missed Wednesday's session for the third straight week, keeping his status murky ahead of Sunday's Ravens-Bengals matchup.
Lamar Jackson did not practice Wednesday as the Ravens opened their Week 7 preparation, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Jackson has missed Baltimore's last two games with an ankle injury, and head coach Jesse Minter — while suggesting Monday that Jackson could "potentially" practice this week — still lists him as day-to-day. The Ravens' first official injury report of the week is due Wednesday afternoon, which may add some clarity.
Lamar Jackson
Until Jackson is actually on the field, treat him as a game-time decision at best for Sunday against the Bengals. Minter's "potentially" is not a green light — it's a hedge. With the Ravens already stumbling to a 13-10 loss in Cleveland last week (per recent reporting), the pressure to get Jackson back is real, but there's no indication yet that he's close enough to trust in fantasy lineups. Keep him on your bench for now and monitor the injury report throughout the week.
Tyler Huntley
Huntley has started the last two games for Baltimore, per ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). If Jackson is ruled out again, Huntley retains his spot as the Ravens' starter. The offense clearly struggled without Jackson — Baltimore was held scoreless after a 10-0 first-quarter lead against Cleveland — but Huntley still has standalone streaming value in deeper leagues if Jackson is officially ruled out. Do not start Huntley speculatively; wait for confirmation that Jackson won't play before plugging him in.
