OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens are uncertain whether quarterback Lamar Jackson will play Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons.

"I don't know the chances yet," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Monday. "We're still gathering a lot of the information and the imaging and things like that, just dealing with a little bit of an ankle and we'll kind of see where that shakes out. [I have] full trust and confidence in him that when it's ready to roll that we'll roll and go from there."

Jackson injured his left ankle in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Tennessee Titans and did not play in the second half. The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player left M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday night wearing a protective boot on his left foot.

Asked if the injury is considered short- or long-term, Minter said, "I really don't think it's going to be crazy long-term, but we'll see what happens."

If Jackson can't play Sunday, the Ravens would start Tyler Huntley, who is 5-6 as a fill-in starter for Baltimore.
