Lamar Jackson absent at the start of practice, 3 days after injuring his ankle

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson was not at practice for the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday during the portion open to reporters.

Jackson also wasn't available before practice — Wednesday is when he usually talks — after injuring his ankle in Sunday's win over Tennessee. Jackson's ankle appeared to roll under an opposing player near the end of the first half, and he did not return.

Baltimore plays at Atlanta on Sunday night.

Tyler Huntley is Jackson's backup. He led the Ravens to wins over Chicago and Green Bay last season.
