Ravens unsure if QB Lamar Jacakson (ankle) will play Week 5

Oct 05, 2026

“I don’t know the chances yet [of Lamar Jackson playing],” head coach Jesse Minter said in his Monday press conference. “We’re still gathering a lot of the information, imaging, things like that. Just dealing with a little bit of an ankle. We’ll kind of see where that shakes out.

PFT said in the story they reported Sunday after the game Jackson was week to week, which puts his status in doubt for Week 5. But the good news is the team doesn't seem to think it will be long term. “I really don’t think it’s going to be crazy long term,” Minter said in the story. “But, we’ll see what happens.” Jackson left the game late in the second quarter and had completed 15-of-20 passes for 222 yards with two touchdowns already. If Jackson can't go, Huntley would be in line to start.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase in concussion protocol

Zac says Ja'Marr Chase is still in protocol and they'll take him and Tee day to day.

Fantasy Impact:

Given players in protocol typically miss the next week, it doesn't look good for Chase right now. But he'll need to be monitored. Higgins (adductor) is day to day, which gives him a shot to play in Week 5. He could be in for a huge day again if Chase is out. Gesicki has three TDs over his first four games and Meyers could be a sneaky add off the wire with Chase out. He had seven catches on nine targets for 82 yards. Brown also could have a big day in the passing game again as he caught 11 balls for 71 yards in Week 4.

Nick Sirianni on Saquon Barkley: "We'll see. ...We'll have more answers Wednesday for you probably with that stuff."

Related players: Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley

Fantasy Impact:

Bigsby also left the game in Week 4 with an apparent groin injury, according to reports, so this could be a tricky situation. Bigsby, if healthy, is a must-add this week, but Shipley could have value too. Right now it's a fluid situation given the lack of information on Bigsby. The initial reports on Barkley seemed to be good, but hamstrings can be tricky and he's not a lock to play. The Eagles will have an early morning game in Week 5 as they play in London against the Jags.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (adductor) day to day

Pro Football Talk

40 minutes ago

Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Monday that Tee Higgins is considered day-to-day after suffering an adductor injury late in Sunday’s game.

Fantasy Impact:

Higgins had 11 catches for 157 yards before his injury. As the story said, Higgins had a busy day when Chase left with a concussion. Given how it typically takes more than a week to clear protocol, Chase's status for Week 5 is definitely in doubt. The day to day tag gives Higgins a shot to play in Week 5, but we'll need to monitor his progress this week on the practice field. Higgins could be in store for another busy day. Gesicki had three catches and a TD in Week 4. He has three TD catches over the first four weeks. Brown had 11 catches while not doing much in the running game and Meyers could be a sneaky pickup this week - he had seven catches for 82 yards on nine targets.
