Baltimore Ravens coach Jesse Minter provided an initial assessment of the situation on Monday, noting that the organization is still evaluating the extent of the damage. Jackson left Sunday’s game late in the first half after taking a sack that pinned his left ankle beneath a defender. reported that Minter expressed confidence in his starting quarterback while acknowledging the ongoing medical review.
“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,” Minter said, according to The Associated Press. “Full trust and confidence in him, that when it’s ready to roll that we’ll roll.”
Minter added perspective on the potential duration of the absence, telling reporters, “I really don’t think it’s going to be crazy long term, but we’ll see what happens.” Jackson himself acknowledged the incident publicly on social media, writing “ouch” in response to a video clip of the play posted online.
Past absences disrupted Baltimore campaigns
The injury recalls recent history for Baltimore, where multi-game absences for Jackson have repeatedly disrupted autumn campaigns. Last season, Jackson missed four games after sustaining an injury during Week 4, remaining sidelined until Week 9. During that stretch, the Ravens dropped to a 1-5 start before rallying to finish 8-9, ultimately missing the postseason.
With a 3-1 record to open the current campaign, the team faces renewed pressure to maintain momentum if Jackson misses extended time. When Jackson exited against Tennessee, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley stepped in to run the offense. The Ravens maintained their lead to secure the 24-18 win, though the unit did not score any points under Huntley’s direction.
