NFL: The Insiders on Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson out Week 5 with rare ankle sprain; return timeline uncertain beyond one week.

Lamar Jackson suffered an unconventional ankle sprain (not high or low) in the first half against the Titans in Week 5 and will miss at least this week against Atlanta; the injury is rare and depends on rehab and functional ability. Head coach Jesse Minter noted Jackson is working hard to return but the team does not know if he will be available next week. The injury is particularly challenging for Jackson's return timeline because his elite athleticism and elusiveness mean he must be the complete package to play, making it harder to get him back on the field.
