Titans Suddenly Face A Very Different Ravens Test

With Lamar Jackson sidelined by an ankle injury, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley steps back into the spotlight against the Titans.

Tyler Huntley was back under center to open the second half for Baltimore after Lamar Jackson left Sunday’s Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans with an ankle injury late in the second quarter.

Jackson was hurt on the second-to-last play before halftime when Jermaine Johnson II got to him and appeared to twist the quarterback’s ankle. The Ravens listed him as questionable to return.

Before heading to the sideline, Jackson was dealing in a big way. He finished the half 15 of 20 for 222 yards and two touchdowns, and he also added 20 rushing yards. Baltimore took a 24-10 lead into the break.

Jackson was later seen on the sideline walking around and talking with teammates, though CBS Sports' Amanda Balionis reported that he was moving with a noticeable limp.

For Huntley, this marked his first action of the season. He went 2-0 as Baltimore’s starter last year, and “Snoop” earned a Pro Bowl nod as an alternate in 2022 after stepping in for Jackson and going 2-2 as the starter while helping the Ravens reach the playoffs.

With Huntley in the game, Baltimore figures to lean even more on Derrick Henry against his former team. The Titans let Henry leave in free agency in 2024, and since then he has piled up 3,817 rushing yards and 38 rushing touchdowns, both NFL-leading totals over that span.

Jackson came into Sunday with 745 passing yards, four touchdowns and one interception through three weeks. He also led the league in yards per attempt at 9.8 and yards per attempt off play-action at 13.4. Now the Ravens are trying to hold onto their edge and chase their third win of the season without him.

Titans Suddenly Have A Lineup Problem They Can't Afford In Baltimore

The Titans head into their Week 4 trip to Baltimore with more uncertainty than they probably wanted this early in the season, as injuries have put parts of the lineup in flux. Tyjae Spears and Garrett Dellinger are among the players listed as questionable, and Robert Saleh has already acknowledged that availability is still very much up in the air as the week moves on.

For a Tennessee team trying to stabilize its rotation and settle on the best mix up front, the timing is not ideal. Baltimore has a way of exposing any soft spots, so the Titans may have to adjust their starting group if the injury report breaks the wrong way, and the last thing they can afford is another last-minute scramble before kickoff.

Titans Walk Into Baltimore Facing A Derrick Henry Problem Again

Baltimore brings the old problem right back onto Tennessees schedule, with Derrick Henry set to face the Titans after moving on from the franchise following the 2023 season. Since joining the Ravens, Henry has been piling up the kind of rushing production that once made him the centerpiece of the Titans offense, and now Tennessee has to deal with him from the other sideline.

For Robert Salehs group, the challenge is familiar even if the uniform is different: find a way to slow a runner who still forces defenses to commit extra attention while Tennessee keeps pushing forward with Cam Wards development. The Titans task gets tougher up front, too, with two injured offensive linemen now on injured reserve, leaving less margin for error in a matchup already shaped by one of the leagues most familiar headaches.

Titans Keep Finding Painful New Ways To Waste Their Chances

The Titans are already in a familiar and uncomfortable place after four weeks, and the latest loss to Baltimore only added to the growing list of small failures that have turned into big problems. Tennessee had chances to keep itself in the game, but the afternoon kept tilting the wrong way, from special teams mistakes to a late interception that undercut any hope of a rally. Former Titan Derrick Henry also found the end zone, another painful reminder that even the good moments have a way of slipping out of reach.

What makes the slide harder to watch is how many different phases have taken turns letting Tennessee down. The offense faded badly in the second half, while Brian Dabolls decisions were part of the broader conversation around how the game unraveled. Even Carnell Tate, who turned in a notable performance, was part of the story in a way the Titans could not afford after a costly fumble, and the result left them still searching for their first win.
