Ravens Rule Lamar Jackson and Trey Hendrickson Out Against Falcons

Baltimore will be without two key players when the Ravens face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night in Atlanta, as quarterback Lamar Jackson and edge rusher Trey Hendrickson have both been ruled out because of injuries. According to CBS News, Tyler Huntley will replace Jackson, while Mike Green is set to start in Hendrickson's place.

Jackson did not practice during the week after injuring his ankle in the first half of Sunday's game against Tennessee. The quarterback appeared to roll his ankle underneath an opposing player near the end of the first half and did not return to the field.

Huntley will take over under center for Baltimore. According to the team's record over the past five years, he has a 5-6 record in 11 starts and led the Ravens to victories over Chicago and Green Bay last season.

Head coach Jesse Minter said the team was still evaluating Jackson's condition and had not determined whether he would be available for the Ravens' Week 6 game against Cleveland.

"To Lamar's credit, this dude's working his tail off," said Jesse Minter, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.

Minter had previously indicated that he did not expect the ankle injury to have an especially prolonged impact. The team was continuing to assess the injury as it considered Jackson's recovery and potential return.

On Monday, Minter described the medical evaluation and said the team would wait until Jackson was ready before putting him back into action.

"We're still gathering a lot of the information and the imaging and things like that. Just dealing with a little bit of an ankle, and we'll kind of see where that shakes out," said Jesse Minter, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.

Minter also expressed confidence in Jackson's eventual return, while leaving the timing dependent on his condition.

"Full trust and confidence in him, that when it's ready to roll that we'll roll," said Jesse Minter, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.

Hendrickson will miss his second consecutive game because of a finger injury. The four-time Pro Bowl selection is in his first season with Baltimore and, like Jackson, did not practice during the week before the matchup with Atlanta.

Mike Green will start in Hendrickson's place again, according to the team's announced plans. The Ravens will therefore enter the game without both their starting quarterback and the injured edge rusher.
