Ravens beat Titans 24-7 as Lamar Jackson exits with ankle sprain

On Tuesday night at M&T Bank Stadium, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Tennessee Titans 24-7 after quarterback Lamar Jackson sprained his ankle midway through the first half and did not return.

Jackson’s injury forced backup Tyler Huntley to take over quarterback duties for the second half. Huntley steadied the offense, but the Ravens relied heavily on the lead they had built before the change, holding the Titans scoreless after halftime.

Coach Jesse Minter said the ankle injury was “just a little bit of an ankle” and expressed confidence that protecting Jackson was worth the short‑term adjustment. “Snoop came in and ran the operation in a way that allowed us to get the win,” Minter added, referring to the game plan that kept the lead intact.

The Ravens entered the contest 24‑7 up at the break, a margin they successfully defended. The Titans, 0‑3 on the season and averaging only 12.3 points per game, managed a lone touchdown late in the fourth quarter, but the deficit was too large to overcome.

Jackson was seen smiling on the sideline despite the sprain, and an MRI was scheduled for Monday to assess the injury further. The quarterback’s optimism and the coaching staff’s decision to limit his exposure reflected a broader strategy of safeguarding the team's star player for the remainder of the season.

Statistically, Baltimore’s defense, ranked seventh in the league for pass defense, stifled Tennessee’s offense, while the Ravens’ own offense, described as average in both the running and passing game, performed enough early to create a comfortable cushion.

With the win, the Ravens maintained their position in the AFC North and demonstrated depth at the quarterback position. The next development will be the results of Jackson’s MRI and whether he will be cleared for the upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
