The primetime spotlight on "Sunday Night Football" will shine on the Atlanta Falcons and the Baltimore Ravens, and quarterback Lamar Jackson's injury status has been in question all week.
Jackson injured his ankle in the second quarter of a Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans when Titans defensive end Jermaine Johnson tackled him, landing his shoulder on Jackson's left ankle.
Fortunately, the Ravens didn't need him, and they hung on to win 24-18 to improve to 3-1.
Jackson was 15-for-20 for 222 passing yards and two touchdowns, and added 20 yards on the ground before leaving the game.
For Sunday's game in Atlanta, linebacker Trey Hendrickson and center Cam Jurgens, who was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles this week, will also miss the game.

the latest on the two-time NFL MVP:
When will Lamar Jackson return?
Jackson was ruled out of the "Sunday Night Football" game against the Falcons with the aforementioned ankle injury. Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said that Jackson's status for Week 6 against the surprising Cleveland Browns is unknown.
"To Lamar's credit, this dude's working his tail off to get back," Minter said. "He's in there all the time. Don't know the specifics of next week, but he'll be doing everything in his power to get back."
This season, Jackson is completing 70.8% of his passes for 967 yards, with six touchdowns and one interception, and has added 144 rushing yards with one score.
Jackson will be replaced in the starting lineup Sunday night by Tyler Huntley, who has a 5-6 career record with the Ravens.
"We've got a ton of confidence in Snoop," Minter said. "He played really well. I think everybody on the team is excited to see that and him to have this opportunity."
