Ravens head coach Jesse Minter shared the headline of the team’s Week 5 injury report when he announced that quarterback Lamar Jackson has been ruled out for Sunday night’s game against the Ravens.
The team released its full injury report later in the day and it includes a questionable tag for the team’s top wide receiver. Zay Flowers was limited in practice all week with a foot injury and the team will wait to make a final call about his availability in Atlanta.
Cornerback Marlon Humphrey (hamstring, calf) is also listed as questionable after returning to practice on Friday. Guard Andrew Vorhees (foot) rounds out the questionable group for this weekend.
Linebacker Trey Hendrickson (finger) and center Cam Jurgens (concussion) were also ruled out ahead of the release of the full injury report. Minter said earlier this week that he expects Jurgens to make his Ravens debut in Week 6.
The Ravens will officially be playing their backup quarterback when they take on the Falcons on Sunday.
Head coach Jesse Minter told reporters in his Friday press conference that Jackson is out with the ankle injury he suffered last week, which means Tyler “Snoop” Huntely will start at QB.
Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson (finger) also won’t play on Sunday.
“Both of them, feel really good maybe headed after this week,” Minter said. “But that’s the way we’ll be. A ton of confidence in Snoop to play really well. I think everybody on the team is excited to see that and [for] him to have this opportunity.”
Could Jackson play next week when the Ravens take on the Browns? That’s still to be determined.
“It’s always going to be in the best interest of the player,” Minter said on Jackson’s timeline to return. “And the timing of it, just knowing probably today that this was going to be the scenario. To Lamar’s credit, he’s working his tail off to get back. So I think, don’t know the specifics of next week. But I know he’ll be doing everything in his power to get back.”
Jackson has completed 70.8 percent of his throws for 967 yards with six touchdowns and one interception so far in 2026. He leads the league in yards per attempt (10.1) and yards per completion (14.2).
Hendrickson has recorded one sack and three QB hits in three games so far this year.
The Ravens full injury report with game statuses will be released later on Friday.
Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews made his 199th consecutive start last Monday, but the streak is at risk of ending on Sunday night.
Matthews is listed as questionable to face the Ravens due to the groin injury he suffered in Atlanta’s win over the Saints. Matthews moved up to full practice for the first time this week on Friday, which bodes well for his chances of being in the lineup even if head coach Kevin Stefanski said the team will wait to see how he responds before making any firm plans for Sunday.
Three defensive players are also listed as questionable for the game.
Defensive ends Za’Darius Smith (concussion, neck) and Samson Ebukam (hamstring) join linebacker Divine Deablo (hamstring) in that category. All three players were limited participants in Friday’s practice.
It looks like the Ravens are unlikely to have quarterback Lamar Jackson when they play the Falcons on Sunday night.
Jackson is not practicing on Friday, according to multiple reporters on the scene. He has not been on the field all week since sustaining a sprained ankle during last week’s victory over Tennessee.
While head coach Jesse Minter told reporters earlier this week that Jackson could play without practicing, backup Tyler Huntley is likely in line to start.
Jackson has completed 70.8 percent of his passes for 967 yards with six touchdowns and one interception so far this season.
Huntley completed 8-of-9 passes for 63 yards and rushed four times for 16 yards in relief of Jackson last week.
The Ravens will release their full injury report with game statuses later on Friday.
While Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson remained out of practice again Thursday, safety Kyle Hamilton returned to full participation.
Hamilton was limited by his ankle injury Wednesday.
Jackson is not ruled out for Sunday night’s game against the Falcons, but his ankle injury has kept him in rehab this week. Tyler Huntley will start if Jackson is out, with rookie Joe Fagnano as the backup.
Outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson (finger), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (hamstring, calf), and center Cam Jurgens (concussion) did not practice again Thursday. The Ravens acquired Jurgens in a trade with the Eagles on Wednesday.
Offensive guard Andrew Vorhees (foot) returned to limited work after not practicing Wednesday, and offensive guard John Simpson (groin) and wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) remained limited.
Wide receiver Rashod Bateman, offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (rest/toe/ankle) and wide receiver Chris Moore (ankle) were full participants. Moore and Bateman were limited Wednesday, and Stanley did not practice on Wednesday.
