Ravens Rule Out Lamar Jackson; Huntley Starts

The Baltimore Ravens announced quarterback Lamar Jackson will not play Sunday against the Chicago Bears and that Tyler Huntley will start in his place. The team retroactively downgraded Jackson’s Friday practice designation from “full” to “limited,” saying he was present and participated but did not take starter reps, and then ruled him out after further evaluation. The adjustment and subsequent team statements have drawn media scrutiny and prompted a league review because accurate injury reporting is required to prevent misuse of insider information amid gambling-related concerns. Jackson has missed the last two games with a hamstring issue; through four games this season he has 10 touchdowns, 869 yards and a 71.6% completion rate. The developments leave the Ravens facing on-field challenges and off-field questions about transparency and adherence to NFL reporting rules.
