NFL WEEK 5 / SUNDAY NIGHT / OCTOBER 11, 2026

Ravens at Falcons: the confirmed absences and the 7:50 p.m. market

Lamar Jackson is inactive. Atlanta is a 3-to-3.5-point favorite across the recorded sportsbook quotes. The roster and prices are verifiable; market chatter is not an official pick.

Who is officially inactive?

The NFL's Week 5 inactive report includes Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson, center Cam Jurgens, receiver Elijah Sarratt, guard Andrew Vorhees, defensive tackle Aeneas Peebles and edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. Tyler Huntley starts at quarterback. The absence of Jackson and two offensive linemen is confirmed personnel context, not a computed betting recommendation.

Atlanta's inactives are Za'Darius Smith, Christian Harris, Cooper Rush (emergency third quarterback), Jack Strand, Ethan Onianwa, Malcolm DeWalt IV and Robert Longerbeam. Left tackle Jake Matthews was reported active. The available reports were checked against the stored team injury feed.

What did the sportsbook market say at 7:50 p.m.?

Sports Intelligence's stored odds snapshot, captured October 11 at 7:50:05 p.m. Eastern, showed Atlanta -3 to -3.5 and Baltimore +3 to +3.5, with game totals of 43.5 to 44 depending on book. DraftKings carried Baltimore moneyline +145 and Atlanta -175; Hard Rock Bet showed Baltimore +150 and Atlanta -180. These are time-stamped historical quotes, not guarantees of current availability.

What is NOT SCORED?

Grok's pregame report attributed a possible under/reverse-line-movement story to ProComputerGambler. The exact original source publication time, matched bookmaker sequence and claimed betting splits were not independently established. This is REPORTED MARKET CONTEXT, NOT SCORED. It should not be read as a confirmed sharp-money signal.

Grok also described Atlanta around 62%-63% across Kalshi and Polymarket. We did not independently validate comparable contract definitions and exact capture times, so these percentages also remain attributed, NOT SCORED observations rather than verified actionable odds.

Why separate these categories?

By October 8 the reported spread had reversed from Baltimore favored to Atlanta favored, amid Lamar Jackson's ankle uncertainty. Tonight's inactive list establishes the quarterback's absence but cannot, by itself, prove every claimed cause of earlier line movement. No model pick, probability, frozen price, or historical grade was changed by this editorial update.
