Ravens QB Tyler Huntley questionable vs. Bengals with illness; Lamar Jackson still sidelined at practice
The Ravens’ quarterback situation just got a little more complicated.
Tyler Huntley (illness) and Lamar Jackson (ankle) both are considered questionable for Sunday’s crucial game against the Cincinnati Bengals after missing practice Friday. Jackson hasn’t practiced since being carted off the field in a Week 14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, leaving Huntley to again prepare this week as if he were starting in a potentially AFC North-deciding matchup.
But his absence Friday, due to an illness unrelated to the coronavirus, raises the possibility that the Ravens could be without both their Pro Bowl starter and his impressive backup Sunday. With practice squad quarterback Chris Streveler placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, recent signing Josh Johnson would be the team’s only available quarterback.
The Ravens, who have 12 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, could be missing several other key players Sunday. Left guard Ben Powers will miss his second straight game with a foot injury, while offensive tackle Tyre Phillips (knee) and wide receiver and Pro Bowl returner Devin Duvernay (ankle) are doubtful after not practicing this week.
Five other Ravens were listed as questionable. Right tackle Patrick Mekari (hand) is on track to return Sunday after participating fully in his second straight practice. Fullback Patrick Ricard (knee) did not practice Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. Defensive lineman Calais Campbell (thigh), who missed Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, was limited all week. Rookie outside linebacker Odafe Oweh sat out Friday with an illness, while safety Brandon Stephens (illness) was limited after missing Thursday’s workout.
Tight end Nick Boyle (knee), who was limited all week, and cornerback Tavon Young (concussion), who was a full participant Friday, were not listed on the injury report and are expected to play Sunday.
In Cincinnati, the Bengals will be without starting inside linebacker Logan Wilson (shoulder). Starting guard Hakeem Adeniji (ankle), reserve tackle Fred Johnson (illness) and reserve defensive end Khalid Kareem (concussion) are questionable.
