OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed practice again.
This time it was because of an ankle issue. That marks the second straight week he was missing for Wednesday's session.
Jackson has already missed three games this season because of a hamstring injury. He was listed with a knee issue last week, but he was still able to play in Baltimore's 23-16 win over Cleveland on Sunday.
He threw for 193 yards and was sacked five times while also having two deflected passes intercepted. Jackson ran for only 10 yards on four attempts in that game. The Ravens host the New York Jets this weekend.

n Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will have season-ending surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The Falcons announced Penix's surgery plans on Wednesday, two days after saying the 25-year-old would be placed on injured reserve and miss at least four games. The team said Penix has a partially torn ligament in the knee. Veteran Kirk Cousins will start for the remainder of the season as the Falcons prepare to play at New Orleans on Sunday. Penix suffered the injury in last week's 30-27 overtime loss to Carolina, which extended the Falcons' losing streak to five games.
n Buffalo's Josh Allen played like the reigning NFL MVP with a six-TD performance against Tampa Bay. The Texans are back in the playoff mix with consecutive wins behind backup Davis Mills. He'll start again tonight against the Bills (minus 6) with C.J. Stroud still recovering from a concussion. The Texans are first in scoring defense, giving up just 16.3 points per game. Allen is 24-5 straight up, 23-5-1 ATS against teams allowing fewer than 20 points per game. AP likes Bills, 23-16
n Shedeur Sanders will make his first NFL start on Sunday in Las Vegas as the Browns turn to the high-profile quarterback while fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel recovers from a concussion. Sanders replaced an injured Gabriel for the second half of last week's 23-16 loss to Baltimore. It was a shaky debut as Sanders, who was drafted by Cleveland in the fifth round, completed just 4 of 16 passes with an interception. He also was sacked twice and fumbled once. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Gabriel remains in concussion protocol. Sanders will be the 42nd quarterback to start for Cleveland since 1999.
n Ja'Marr Chase's one-game suspension for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey was upheld by a hearing officer, which rules him out of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. The suspension, without pay, was upheld Tuesday by hearing officer Jordy Nelson, jointly appointed by the NFL and the NFLPA. Chase will be docked his game salary of $448,333.33.
