- Lamar Jackson injured his left ankle on the final offensive snap before halftime when Titans defensive end Jermaine Johnson II's shoulder landed on the outside of the ankle during a sack from behind, and did not return for the second half of the Ravens' 24-18 win.
- Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Jackson was "dealing with a little bit of an ankle" and a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Jackson is believed to be day-to-day.
- Jackson was dominant before the injury, completing 15 of 20 passes (75%) for 222 yards and two touchdowns — the fourth-most passing yards in a first half of his nine-year career.
- Backup Tyler Huntley went 8-of-9 for 63 yards in relief but produced zero scoring drives across five full series, with Baltimore punting four times and missing a 40-yard field goal.
- Huntley has previously succeeded as a fill-in, winning both of his starts last season against playoff teams in the Bears and Packers.
- The Ravens also lost cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf), right guard Andrew Vorhees (foot), and tight end Durham Smythe (Achilles) to in-game injuries, with Minter offering no updates beyond saying more would be known Monday.
Why it matters: Jackson has now missed 13 games due to injury across his nine-year career, including four last season, and the Ravens' thin margin — winning by just six despite a two-TD first half from their MVP — exposes how dependent Baltimore remains on his availability for both scoring drives and game control.
