The Ravens’ path to victory on Sunday against the Packers is about to get even tougher.
Ian Rapoport is reporting that it looks unlikely that starting quarterback Lamar Jackson will be able to suit up. He suffered a sprained ankle last Sunday against Cleveland and didn’t return.
This means that it will be the Tyler Huntley show as Baltimore looks to avoid dropping its third straight game.

Huntley played well against the Browns last Sunday and almost led the Ravens to a comeback win. Baltimore cut it to 24-22 and recovered the onside kick but Huntley couldn’t drive the offense into field goal range.
He finished with 270 yards through the air with one touchdown pass and no interceptions.
Before this loss, Huntley started and won against the Chicago Bears on Nov. 21. He started due to Jackson being sick and led the Ravens to a comeback win with less than a minute remaining.
The NFL world had a lot of different reactions to this news.

The stuff of #fantasyfootball and #DFS nightmares. As the season comes to a close and playoffs are intense you better have drafted for depth if you want to compete or been a hell of a waiver wire/free agent pick up artist. https://t.co/kftkrrLqri

The Ravens will be without their starting: QB, RBs (3), LT, FS, SS, CB1, CB2.
If they beat the Packers it’s undoubtedly the upset of the season.

A hobbled Lamar Jackson isn’t better than a healthy Tyler Huntley
