Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson also won't play Sunday because of a finger injury.
The Ravens will be without Lamar Jackson for their Week 5 matchup against the Falcons. Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed in his Friday press conference that Jackson is out with the ankle injury he suffered last week, clearing the way for Tyler Huntley to make his first start of the season.
Jackson did not practice at all this week, and the two-time MVP's absence puts the full weight of the offense on Huntley, who has filled in for Jackson before. Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is also out Sunday with a finger injury.
Minter expressed confidence in his backup quarterback heading into the game. "We have a ton of confidence in Huntley to play really well," Minter said. "I think everybody on the team is excited to see that and for him to have this opportunity."
As for Jackson and Hendrickson, Minter said, "Both of them, feel really good maybe headed after this week." Whether Jackson will be ready for next week's matchup against the Browns remains undetermined, with Minter noting any decision will be made in the best interest of the player.
