Quick Summary

Lamar Jackson is considering returning from a high ankle sprain for the Baltimore Ravens' Week 7 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, though he remains unsure if he can play effectively yet. Jackson suffered the injury during a 29-yard scramble against the Titans and has been out of action since October 4th. Both Jackson and head coach Jesse Minter emphasize that his return will depend on whether he feels capable of performing at his usual high level; backup Tyler Huntley, who has started the last two games, has struggled with offensive production, scoring just 40 points in those contests.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
