Lamar Jackson has missed each of the Baltimore Ravens' last three games since suffering an ankle injury in Week 4. The Ravens won their first game without Jackson on the field, but have since lost each of their next two matchups. They fell to the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, surrendering a lopsided 35-13 final score in Baltimore and dropping to 4-3 on the year.
Jackson logged limited participation in practice throughout the week leading up to Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Bengals, but was ultimately ruled out. Now, the Ravens turn their attention toward a highly-anticipated matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. When speaking with reporters on Monday, Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said Jackson is in a "decent spot" when it comes to his chances to play on Sunday.
"Lamar is working his butt off to be back and be out there. He was able to get in a little bit of work towards the end of last week, so I think he'll be in a decent spot. But we'll know a lot more on Wednesday," Minter said.
The Ravens have been operating with Tyler Huntley as starting quarterback in Jackson's absence. On Sunday, Huntley completed 23 of his 34 pass attempts for 298 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Sunday's game against the Bills will kick off at 1 p.m.
