Quick Summary

During Sunday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans, Lamar Jackson left with an ankle injury after being sacked near halftime. Jackson, who was playing exceptionally well before getting hurt—completing 15 of 20 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the first half—was replaced by Tyler Huntley at quarterback to start the third quarter. The two-time MVP's status has been questionable due to previous injury concerns throughout his career, including four missed games last season.
