Lamar Jackson still has not practiced this week. Baltimore has not closed the door on him playing Sunday.

The Ravens quarterback sat out Wednesday's practice as he works back from a sprained left ankle. Head coach Jesse Minter said Jackson remains day to day. A person familiar with the situation said Jackson has a realistic chance to face the Cleveland Browns.

Midweek checkpoint

Jackson hurt the ankle on the final offensive snap of the first half against Tennessee on Oct. 4. He missed all of last week's practices and sat out Sunday night's overtime win in Atlanta. Minter said Monday the ankle was "definitely" better and that Wednesday would bring more clarity.

Wednesday's report listed Jackson as a non-participant. Receiver Ja'Kobi Lane returned as a full participant after wrist surgery and pass rusher Trey Hendrickson was also full after a finger injury.

Huntley is ready if needed

Tyler Huntley has won both starts in Jackson's place. He threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns against the Falcons and ran in the overtime winner. Baltimore is 4-1.

If Jackson cannot go Huntley would start again at Cleveland. Kickoff is noon Central on Sunday.
