Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was ruled out for the Week 7 AFC North matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a left high ankle sprain sustained on October 4. In his absence, backup Tyler Huntley led the offense, which had been averaging 17.9 points per game compared to 28.1 with Jackson. 

The Bengals, playing with quarterback Joe Burrow despite back discomfort, secured a comeback victory in the divisional contest. Cincinnati scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to defeat Baltimore, highlighted by a touchdown from Ja’Marr Chase, his 10th career score against the Ravens.

The game was also noted for officiating controversy in the second quarter. Bengals defensive end Boye Mafe was flagged for an illegal block below the waist, though replays and analysts, including former player J.J. Watt, suggested the contact may have been initiated by Ravens running back Derrick Henry.

Jackson has since missed three games, leaving the Ravens with a 1-2 record in his absence. While the team faced the Cleveland Browns without him on October 18, Jackson is reportedly working toward a return from the high-ankle sprain. Head coach Jesse Minter expressed optimism after Jackson performed some work late last week, though his status for the upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills remains uncertain. Jackson has noted that the injury affects his mobility and that his return will depend on his pain tolerance.
