Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not play in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans after sustaining an ankle injury late in the second quarter. He was sacked by Titans defensive end Jermaine Johnson on the final offensive snap of the half, according to the New York Post. Before leaving, Jackson completed 15 of 20 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 20 yards, helping Baltimore build a 24-7 lead. Backup Tyler Huntley took over at quarterback for the second half, completing 8 of 9 passes for 63 yards. The Ravens held on to win 24-18, improving to 3-1. Coach Jesse Minter said after the game he did not yet know the extent of the injury, calling it “a little bit of an ankle.”
