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.
