Tyler Huntley will likely make his fifth career NFL start on Sunday in Jackson’s absence as they take on the Steelers. The injury couldn’t come at a worse time, as the Ravens are fighting to keep up with the Cincinnati Bengals atop the AFC North. In such a competitive conference, Baltimore will want Jackson back on the field as soon as possible to avoid another disastrous end to the season similar to 2021.

Through 12 starts, Jackson has completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 2,242 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions this season. He has also rushed for 764 yards on 112 rushes with three rushing touchdowns.
