The Ravens are dealing with a trauma that could spell disaster for their offense. Fullback Lamar Jackson was taken to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury during the 24-22 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Jackson was injured in the second half after completing a pass to Mark Andrews. The Raven full-back was hit by a header by Browns midfielder Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and was hurt after the game.

Jackson was helped to the side and into the blue medical tent for treatment, and he was taken to the locker room shortly after. He was sitting in front of the trolley with a bored expression. He did not return to the game.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Jackson had been diagnosed with a sprained right ankle.
“Lamar has a sprained ankle. We’ll look at it more tomorrow and see where we are,” Harbaugh said.
Harbaugh spoke again on Monday and said that Jackson doesn’t have high ankle sprain. Raven is planning to have him play on Sunday, but they will “see where it goes” in practice.
Tyler Huntley replaced Jackson at quarterback after his injury. Huntley is a sophomore pro who played as a team at Utah and made one appearance for the Ravens against the Bears earlier this season. Huntley went 26 of 36 219-yard passes and intercepted in the Ravens’ 16-13 win.
