Ravens' Lamar Jackson is Questionable But Headed in 'Right Direction'

The Baltimore Ravens are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7, and the team is dealing with some significant injuries. 

Head coach Jesse Minter announced that Tavius Robinson is out for the season, while quarterback Lamar Jackson might be a game-time decision. Jackson spoke to the media and revealed he is "heading in the right direction."

The full injury report is as follows:

Jackson said that he has a bit of a grace period to determine if he can play on Sunday, but he believes that he can. The issue is whether or not the ankle can hold up. 

Jackson also revealed that the medical staff stated he suffered a high ankle sprain, which makes sense considering the quarterback has missed the past two games. He could miss a third game if the ankle does not respond by the time the Bengals game comes up.

What was most important about Jackson's admission of his injury is that he will not take the field if he cannot plant his foot without pain. The biggest issue holding him back from playing is being limited in his movements, which he said would not do "justice for the team."

Jackson not being 100 percent and taking the field would not be good, especially given that he may injure his ankle further. 

Should Jackson not be able to play, it will be Tyler Huntley taking over yet again.

Defensive tackle Broderick Washington is questionable for the game with his nagging ankle injury. 

Other than that, the aforementioned Robinson is out due to suffering a pectoral injury that has now led to a more significant injury. The linebacker will now be out for the rest of the 2026 season.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter also stated that safety Jaylinn Hawkins is dealing with a knee injury and is also out for Week 7. The update from Minter seemed to point to the safety potentially being out for a bit of time due to the knee injury.

No other Baltimore player has an injury status for the Bengals matchup.

This is huge news for the team, as the offense will get back a strong starting offensive line. Center Cam Jurgens is ready to go after dealing with concussion protocol, and he will now take over. 

Jurgens taking over at center will kick rookie guard Vega Ioane back to the right guard position. Both Andrew Vorhees and Emery Jones Jr. are also healthy and ready to go should anything happen.
