The Baltimore Ravens entered today’s critical meeting with the Cleveland Browns already plagued by injuries, as the team most recently lost cornerback Marlon Humphrey for the rest of the season with a torn pectoral muscle.
Now they might need to comeback against their divisional rivals with their start quarterback on the sidelines as well.
Lamar Jackson was taken off the field and carted to the locker room after suffering a lower-leg injury. He came out of the game after this play:

Jackson was in obvious pain and struggled to put weight on his leg after the hit:
Here comes the cart for Lamar Jackson. He's hobbling onto the cart w/ Dr. Curl and not putting any weight on one foot. #Ravens

Backup Tyler Huntley is in the game for the Ravens now, as they try and erase a ten-point deficit in the early going. With Jackson sidelined due to illness a few weeks ago, Huntley earned his first NFL start and guided the Ravens to a win against the Chicago Bears. Now, with the season looking like it might be slipping away from Baltimore, the backup will need to come up huge for the Ravens.
