Lamar Jackson’s status is still murky heading into Sunday night, but the betting market isn’t treating the Ravens like a team in panic mode just yet.
Baltimore head coach Jesse Minter said he still doesn’t know whether Jackson will be able to go against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5 after the quarterback exited the Ravens’ Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans with an ankle injury. Minter also downplayed the long-term concern, saying, "I don't know the chances yet." Minter added, "I don't think it's going to be crazy long-term."
Even with the uncertainty, the Ravens remain favored on the road. The lookahead number opened with Baltimore laying six, then moved to Ravens -3.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook. After Minter’s update, the line was still sitting at 3.5 points, with Baltimore listed at -105.
A further shift could come if Jackson is unable to get on the practice field to open the week. For now, though, the market is still leaving room for him to suit up.
If Jackson can’t play, Tyler Huntley would be next up. He handled the second half against Tennessee without much trouble, even if the offense stalled. Huntley completed eight of nine passes for 63 yards and added four carries for 16 yards in the win.
Jackson’s own numbers this season have been strong. He has completed 70.8 percent of his passes in 2026 for 967 yards, six touchdowns and one interception, while also rushing 18 times for 144 yards and a score. Before leaving against the Titans, he was 15 of 20 for 222 yards and two touchdowns.
There were also differing reports on the severity of the injury. NFL insider Ian Rapoport described Jackson as "day-to-day," while ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reported that he’s "week-to-week."
So the picture is still unsettled, and the line is holding until there’s something firmer on the two-time league MVP’s availability for Sunday night.
