    Lamar Jackson (ankle) is questionable to return in Week 4 against the Titans.

    Lamar was sacked on the Ravens’ final play of the first half. His ankle got caught under Titans EDGE Jermaine Johnson on the play, and when the Ravens took the field in the third quarter, it was backup Tyler Huntley who was under center. With the Ravens holding a 24-7 lead, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Ravens opted to play it safe with Jackson and keep him out for the remainder of this one.

    Jackson began the week on the wrong side of questionable after spraining his ankle in Week 4 against the Titans. Ravens coach Jesse Minter has already said that Jackson doesn’t need to practice “much” in order to play. While some sort of limited session is still possible for today, it is unlikely, with Jackson skipping warmups. If he can get in a limited session tomorrow, he has a chance to play. Stay tuned.

    As expected, Jackson was listed as a DNP for today’s practice. Jackson is dealing with an “unconventional” ankle sprain and looks highly unlikely to play in Week 5. Tyler Huntley will draw the start if Jackson isn’t able to suit up. Ravens coach Jesse Minter later added that Jackson does not need to practice “much” in order to play the same week, though Huntley still looks like the likely starter at this time.

    The sprain Jackson sustained in Week 4 against the Titans, according to Rapoport, is neither low nor high. Rapoport said Monday that Jackson has an “outside” shot at suiting up in Week 5 against the Falcons and could miss multiple games with the unique ankle situation. Tyler Huntley will once again sub in for Jackson until he’s ready to return. Baltimore will likely be far more run heavy with Huntley under center, limiting targets for Zay Flowers and the rest of the Ravens pass catchers.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Dealing with a sprained ankle he sustained last week against the Titans, Jackson will sit out at least one game and could miss multiple weeks, according to Rapoport. Tyler Huntley will make his annual start or two (or three) for the Ravens when they take on the Falcons defense, which is allowing the third lowest drop back success rate in the NFL. It’s a downgrade for Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers, though both should be played in 12-team leagues in Week 5. Huntley should be added in all superflex leagues.

    The Ravens didn’t have the results of the imaging yet and punted on a real answer here, meaning we’ll have plenty more updates on Lamar Jackson’s ankle injury as the week goes on. This will probably get a sourced update tonight and, if not, then on Tuesday. Welcome back to LamarWatch, a subsidiary of Rotoworld industries.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    It was reported after Sunday’s win over the Titans that Jackson was “believed to be day-to-day” after he left the game with what appeared to be a relatively minor ankle injury. Jackson was spotted in a walking boot, which has raised a bit more concern for his Week 5 availability, but hopefully the MRI doesn’t reveal anything too severe. Jackson and the Ravens are set to take on the Falcons on Sunday night, which could make for a difficult situation for fantasy managers. We’ll surely receive countless updates on his status throughout the week, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place in the event he enters the weekend with a questionable designation. If he’s unable to play, Tyler Huntley would draw his first start of the season.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Head coach Jesse Minter said after the game that the team considered putting Jackson back in at one point. That said, with the game well in hand against the lowly Titans, the decision to sit the two-time MVP was likely an easy one. Jackson, who was spotted in a protective boot after the game, didn’t appear to be in a great deal of pain whenever he was shown on the sideline in the second half of Sunday’s win over the Titans. It wouldn’t be surprising if Jackson was limited in practice as a precaution, but it would be surprising if he missed next week’s game against the Falcons.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    An ankle injury suffered at the end of the first half sidelined Jackson for the entire second half. That said, Jackson put in an entire game’s worth of production in the two quarters he did play in, completing four passes of 20-plus yards on the day, one of which came on a 52-yard strike to Zay Flowers that helped set up a three-yard touchdown by Mark Andrews on the next play. Lamar also connected with Flowers on a 19-yard touchdown pass to give him two total touchdown passes on the day and his second game in a row with multiple TD passes. Jackson was never officially ruled out and appeared engaged on the sideline while displaying a small limp. It wouldn’t be surprising if he was limited in practice this week, but from what we could see on the broadcast, Jackson didn’t look like a player who is at risk of missing Week 5’s game against the Falcons. We will be sure to provide all updates on the Ravens’ QB1 as they come throughout the week.

    As noted yesterday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport believes Jackson’s reps in practice going forward will be managed at his behest, so don’t get too startled on Wednesday if he’s limited again. Jackson is an obvious overall QB1 candidate in Week 4 against the Titans.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport mentioned in a hit earlier today that Jackson might continue to be eased up on in practice per his preference throughout the season, so don’t get too concerned if this keeps popping up. It seems like there’s no real doubt he’ll play against the Titans on Sunday.

    Carnell Tate (back) is good to go for Week 5 against the Texans.

    Tate popped up on Thursday’s injury report with a back injury, but it appears that was mostly due to some tightness that isn’t expected to slow him in Week 5. Tate has seen 21 targets over the last two weeks and has posted a 15-203-0 line over that span. He has some solid WR3/FLEX appeal against a Texans defense that has struggled against the pass early in the season.

    Ja’Marr Chase (concussion) was seen practicing on Friday.

    Chase still needs to clear concussion protocol if he hopes to suit up for Week 5’s game against the Dolphins. That said, he appears to be trending toward being able to play after logging back-to-back practices to close out the week. Tee Higgins (groin/neck), who was a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday was also seen sprinting and running routes on Friday, which suggests he could also be good to go for Sunday’s game. We will check back in with official game day statuses in the coming hours when the team releases its final injury report.

    Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is not practicing on Friday.

    Diggs was unable to get on the practice field this week and will likely be ruled out for Week 5’s game against the Giants in the next few hours. Rookie receiver Antonio Williams would again be in line for a busy day and could be the favorite to lead the team in targets this week, especially if Terry McLaurin (hamstring) also misses this week. McLaurin’s status remains wait and see after he was spotted on the practice field Friday after being a DNP on the first two days.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the “belief is that D’Andre Swift (hip/knee) should be able to go” in Week 5 against the Packers.

    We will get a better sense of Swift’s availability soon when the Bears release their final injury report of the week. After being a DNP in Wednesday’s practice, Swift was able to log a limited session on Thursday, which is a good sign for his availability with one practice left to go. Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe), who has yet to practice this week, could be at risk of missing Week 5, which could lead to a busy day for Swift, while Roschon Johnson would serve as the Bears’ RB2.

    Adonai Mitchell (finger) will not play in Week 5 against the Brown.

    Mitchell will miss his third straight game with the finger injury he sustained in practice, ahead of Week 3’s game against the Lions. During Mitchell’s absence, Isaiah Williams has run 59 routes, the second-most of any Jets receiver, but has seen just five targets. Garrett Wilson is the only reliable receiver in this passing game, while rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq is a boom-or-bust option against a defense that has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season.

    Breece Hall (quad) will not play in Week 5 against the Browns.

    Braelon Allen will once again be in line to lead the Jets’ backfield with Hall sidelined for a second consecutive week. Hall did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday and will presumably be a DNP again on Friday, now that he has been ruled out ahead of practice. Allen saw 100 percent of the Jets’ running back opportunities last week, rushing 14 times for 59 scoreless yards while adding two receptions for an additional eight yards on two targets. He’ll be a fringe RB1/RB2 in what should be another high-volume day for the third-year back.

    Free agent WR Tyreek Hill testified in an assault and batter civil case in Miami on Thursday.

    This trial stems from a 2025 case in which Hill was alleged to have physically abused his estranged wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro. At his hearing, Hill admitted to saying to her that he was “able to get people to hurt her,” but denied allegations that he “hit, scratched or shoved Vaccaro, pulled out her hair, spit in her face or punched toward her stomach while she was pregnant,” per ESPN’s Xuan Thai. Legally speaking, a jury will decide whether or not Hill’s actions warrant any kind of punishment, but the league will likely decide after the trial whether or not Hill’s actions warrant a suspension, which could be as high as six games. Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, recently suggested the 32-year-old receiver could sign with a team in the very near future, but it wouldn’t be surprising if teams interested in him waited to see how this trial plays out. The trial is expected to continue on Friday, when Vaccaro’s attorney will have a chance to question Hill.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports CeeDee Lamb’s quad injury is not believed to be serious after Week 5’s loss to the Buccaneers.

    Lamb was on the field for a few more plays in Thursday’s loss to the Buccaneers after his injury was announced. Rapoport reports that Lamb is believed to be dealing with a quad bruise, which is not believed to be serious. Lamb and the Cowboys now have over a week to rest up before facing the Packers on Sunday Night Football in Week 6. Barring an unexpected development, we would expect Lamb to be good to go for next week’s game against the Packers at Lambeau Field.

    Ryan Flournoy caught 3-of-4 targets for 90 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Flournoy continues to operate as the clear WR3 behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, typically incapable of returning viable fantasy production in their shadows. He hit for a 48-yard reception at the end of the second quarter to set up a go-ahead field goal entering the break, otherwise remaining about as quiet as we would expect. This was the first game in 2026 over a modest 37 yards for Flournoy, who could be tasked with additional emphasis in the immediate future after Lamb departed with a quad injury in the fourth quarter. He could be worth a speculative add ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the reeling Packers.

    Jake Ferguson caught 3-of-6 targets for 19 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Ferguson committed two uncharacteristic drops against the Buccaneers, the second of which resulted in a game-sealing interception to push the Cowboys to 2-3 ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Packers. Now held to 43 yards or fewer in five consecutive games, Ferguson is relegated to a touchdown-dependent TE2.
