Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a high ankle sprain, marking his third consecutive game missed. Initially listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice, Jackson struggled to put weight on his left leg and ultimately decided that returning before he was fully ready would be a "disservice" to his team. Tyler Huntley will start in his place for the third straight game.
In addition to Jackson's absence, the Ravens are also dealing with injuries to key defensive players, including safety Jaylinn Hawkins and outside linebacker Tavius Robinson, who has been placed on injured reserve with a season-ending pectoral injury. Cornerback T.J. Tampa is listed as doubtful, further complicating the Ravens' preparations for the divisional matchup. Meanwhile, the Bengals come into the game off a bye week and with a clean injury report, presenting a significant challenge for Baltimore as they navigate these setbacks.
