Tyler Huntley will start for Baltimore on Sunday.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will not vs. Green Bay on Sunday due to a bone bruise in his ankle, according to Fox's Jay Glazer. 

Jackson did not return to Baltimore's Week 14 loss to the Browns after injuring his ankle in the second quarter. The Ravens "did not expect" Jackson to be active for Sunday earlier in the week, though the team's hopes of a return were raised in recent days, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. After testing his ankle on Sunday, Jackson was ultimately ruled out

Ravens’ QB Lamar Jackson is dealing with a bone bruise in his ankle, not an ankle sprain, per source. Jackson never has missed an NFL game during his four-year career due to injury; he has missed two due to illness.
