Head coach Jesse Minter said Friday that the Ravens have ruled out Jackson (ankle) for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Considering Jackson hasn't practiced since spraining his left ankle in the middle of the Ravens' Week 4 win at Tennessee, it comes as no surprise that Minter again made the decision to keep the team's No. 1 QB on the sideline Sunday. With Jackson in street clothes this weekend, Baltimore will continue to roll with Tyler Huntley leading the offense. Jackson's next chance to play is Sunday, Oct. 25 against the Bengals.
Jackson (ankle) isn't practicing Friday, making him unlikely to play Sunday at Cleveland, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun.

Jackson will miss a second consecutive game in Week 6 against the Browns due to his ankle injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Although there'd been some rumblings that Jackson could return for Sunday's AFC North clash, the two-time MVP never managed to practice during Week 6 prep. Jackson was officially ruled out by head coach Jesse Minter on Friday, though Minter also denied that the injury was more serious than originally thought and said the decision to keep the talented signal-caller out again was simply "for his best interest."

Jackson (ankle) "has a realistic chance" to return to action Sunday against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
It was reported Sunday that Jackson had "a real chance" to return in Week 6, and he appears to be in the same spot several days later. Jackson's involvement in practice -- or lack thereof -- before the end of the week ultimately figures to determine whether or not he will be back under center against the Browns.

Head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that Jackson is "definitely doing better" in his recovery from a sprained left ankle, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson was held out of Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons due to a left ankle sprain that he sustained during the Ravens' Week 4 win over the Titans. Minter added that he wasn't sure whether Jackson would be cleared to practice Wednesday, and the superstar quarterback's participation during Week 6 prep will ultimately determine whether he or Tyler Huntley starts against the Browns on Oct. 18.
Jackson has a "real chance" to return for Week 6 against Cleveland, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Jackson exited Baltimore's Week 4 win over the Titans at halftime due to an ankle injury and was ruled out for Week 5 against the Falcons, paving the way for backup Tyler Huntley to start under center. If Jackson responds well to rehab, he could be ready to return as soon as Week 6 against the Browns, who are hanging around in the AFC North race at 3-2.
Jackson (ankle), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, has a "real chance" to return to action next week against Cleveland, pending how he responds to rehab, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jackson didn't practice in any fashion this week after he was sidelined for the entire second half of last Sunday's win over the Titans, but the Ravens remain optimistic that his ankle injury is a short-term concern. Though Tyler Huntley will get the starting nod in place of Jackson against Atlanta, Rapoport notes that the Ravens' franchise quarterback has been "in the building early working crazy to get himself back on the field" this week. Assuming the rehab work Jackson has put in translates into him returning to practice at some point next week, he should be able to meet his goal of playing after a one-game absence.

Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Falcons, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
After Jackson didn't practice all week, this comes as no surprise. Tyler Huntley is expected to get the start in Jackson's place after he handled first-team reps in practice this week. It's a green-light spot for the Falcons defense in fantasy.
Jackson has officially been ruled out for Sunday night's Week 5 matchup against the Falcons, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
It was reported earlier in the week that Jackson may be in line for a multi-game absence due to the ankle issue he suffered just before halftime in Week 4, so Friday's announcement wasn't unexpected. Jackson unsurprisingly missed practice all week, and Tyler Huntley, who's led Baltimore to five of the six wins the Ravens have managed without Jackson since the start of the 2019 season, will be under center against Atlanta.

The Ravens listed Jackson (ankle) as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
Head coach Jesse Minter was non-committal on Jackson's status for the Ravens' Week 5 matchup with the Falcons following practice, noting that "there'll be a point later in the week" where the team "figures out where he's at." Per Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun, Minter also noted Wednesday that Jackson could miss the majority of the practice week and still play Sunday, but at this point, the two-time MVP seems more likely than not to sit out in Atlanta while he manages a sprained left ankle. Tyler Huntley took the reps with the first-team offense during Wednesday's practice and would be in line to start if Jackson is sidelined this weekend.
Jackson's ankle injury could sideline him for multiple weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Ravens haven't officially ruled him out yet for a Week 5 meeting with the Falcons, but the nature of the ankle injury Jackson suffered in Sunday's win over the Titans suggests he'll likely be required to miss multiple games. In Jackson's absence, Tyler Huntley will start under center for Baltimore.

Jackson appears "unlikely" to play Sunday against the Falcons due to a "rarer type of ankle sprain" that could put him at risk of missing multiple games, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The ankle injury sidelined Jackson for the entire second half of last Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans, resulting in backup Tyler Huntley directing the offense for the final two quarters. Huntley now appears to be trending toward the Week 5 start while Jackson recovers from the ankle issue, which Rapoport suggests is an "unconventional" injury that's not necessarily a low- or high-ankle sprain. The Ravens are expected to take a week-by-week approach with their star quarterback, who isn't believed to be at risk of a long-term absence but could end up sitting out more than one game, depending on how he responds to rehab.
Jackson (ankle) is not dealing with a long-term injury, but he has "only an outside chance to play" in Week 5 and "could end up missing multiple games," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jackson is believed to be dealing with a sprain, but the report indicates it's more likely than not he will sit out Baltimore's upcoming Sunday Night Football matchup with Atlanta -- and he may miss more time beyond that. Jackson's participation -- or lack thereof -- in practice this week will likely determine his availability for Week 5. If he is unable to go, Tyler Huntley would be next in line at the signal-caller spot.

Jackson sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Titans, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Jackson was seen limping after getting sacked near the end of the first half, and after halftime he was deemed questionable to return. Considering the Ravens have a firm 24-7 lead at the time of the announcement, the team may exercise caution with Jackson and roll with Tyler Huntley unless the Titans happen to close the gap over the final 30 minutes of the contest.
Jackson (back) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
Jackson missed the beginning of Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, but his full participation Thursday suggests there is nothing to worry about regarding the star QB's health. Heading into Sunday's home game against the 0-3 Titans, Jackson has produced a 4:1 TD:INT with his arm while adding 124 rushing yards and a touchdown with his legs to guide the Ravens to a 2-1 record.
Jackson (back) is participating at the start of Thursday's practice, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore Sports Radio reports.
Jackson was deemed a limited participant Wednesday, when he missed the early part of practice before joining teammates later in the session. The star quarterback's presence at the start of Thursday's practice suggests Jackson is in position to log a full session Thursday, though confirmation on that front won't come until after the Ravens wrap up their practice. There has been on indication that Jackson's status for Sunday's home game against the Titans is in any doubt.
Jackson completed 17 of 25 passes for 324 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding seven rushes for 40 yards and another score in Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts. He also lost a fumble.
Although Derrick Henry put together a dominant performance of 144 rushing yards and three touchdowns, Jackson still found his way to a standout afternoon that included an average of 13.0 yards per attempt. Jackson also was the first to strike for Baltimore, capping off the Ravens' first possession with a five-yard scoring run. He went on to add a 54-yard scoring strike to Zay Flowers (hamstring) in the first half, and the one blemish on the star quarterback's afternoon was his fumble on a sack deep in his own territory during the latter portion of the second quarter. Jackson ultimately connected with nine different targets overall, and his impressive passing yardage figure was generated with Flowers missing the entire second half because of his injury. Jackson's prospects will remain bright in a Week 2 home matchup next Sunday against a Saints team that allowed 31 points to the Lions in Week 1.
Jackson and the Ravens aren't expected to agree on a contract extension before 2027, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jackson's current contract runs through the end of 2027, but there was always a possibility he and Baltimore would negotiate an extension this summer. Instead, the star quarterback is likely to play out the 2026 campaign under his current deal, with extension talks likely to resurface following the season. Jackson has spent all eight years of his career to this point with the Ravens, earning three first-team All-Pro selections -- but no Super Bowl appearances.
Jackson told reporters recently that injuries factored into his running less in 2025, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. "I believe you know ... a lot of people know [that] I was hurt last year, so I really could not do anything like I wanted to," said Jackson.
Hamstring and back injuries forced Jackson to miss four games last season and sapped his rushing ability even when he was active. This led to Jackson posting career lows in rushing attempts (67) and yards (349). Jackson is now fully healthy going into 2026, his first season operating Declan Doyle's offense. The Ravens open the season on the road in Indianapolis on Sept. 13.
