From the episode

Lamar Jackson's been dealing with an ankle injury. Sprained his left ankle in week four, didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday, and then not spotted at the beginning today... the thing about injuries, even if they're not terribly serious early on, especially when you're talking about somebody like Lamar, who's so dependent on his mobility, the last thing you want to do is put him in a position where he's going to be compromised and potentially cost him multiple weeks of the season.

Lamar Jackson's ankle injury worsens; limited practice time before Falcons game.

Lamar Jackson sprained his left ankle in week four and did not practice Wednesday, Thursday, or at the beginning of Friday practice ahead of week five matchup with Falcons. Stefania Bell notes that while the injury may not be terribly serious early on, Jackson's mobility-dependent playing style makes it risky to put him in a compromised position, potentially costing multiple weeks of the season. Ravens have no bye until week 13, limiting rest opportunities. Bell suggests the team may be in conversation about his availability, though she believes if anyone gets a last-minute chance to play, it's Lamar.
