The Atlanta Falcons and the Baltimore Ravens are set to face off on Sunday Night Football in Week 5, and both teams are dealing with some key injuries. Quarterback Lamar Jackson headlines a long list of Ravens players who are banged up.

Jackson (ankle) was out for the second day in a row on Thursday and his status looks bleak for Sunday's game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Meanwhile, the Falcons listed three edge rushers - Za'Darius Smith, Samson Ebukam and Cameron Thomas - on their Thursday injury report.

Smith (concussion) missed his second practice, while Ebukam was limited with a hamstring injury. Thomas was listed as a full participant, so he's trending in the right direction. Linebacker Divine Deablo was also added to Thursday's report with a hamstring injury.

Atlanta received some good news on left tackle Jake Matthews, who returned as a limited participant after sitting out on Wednesday. Matthews exited Monday's win in the first half and didn't return, but his 200-game iron-man streak appears to be safe for now.
