Ravens change course, rule out QB Lamar Jackson vs. Bengals

By Field Level Media Oct 24 (Field Level Media) Lamar Jackson practiced and said he was ​ready to return from ‌a two-week absence caused by a high-ankle sprain, but the Ravens are going a different direction against the ‌Cincinnati ​Bengals on Sunday. Baltimore downgraded ⁠Jackson to out ⁠on Saturday afternoon, less than 24 hours before the AFC North rivals collide in Cincinnati. ​Tyler Snoop Huntley, 1-1 this season subbing for Jackson, gets the ⁠call for his ⁠third consecutive start. I just ​know it was a sprain, and ​it hurt bad, Jackson said of ‌the injury to reporters on Friday. It was very, very, very, very, very painful. The Ravens are ⁠one of three 4-2 teams in the AFC North and lead the division ⁠in ‌points (156) while ranking last ⁠in points allowed (132). Baltimore ​has ‌116 points and 14 touchdowns ​with Jackson ⁠at quarterback this season, compared to 40 points and four touchdowns without him. Jackson is 11-2 in his career against the Bengals.
