Overview
- After a designated rest day Wednesday, Jackson was a full participant Thursday, marking the fifth straight week he has missed at least one midweek session.
- Coach John Harbaugh called the approach “no science,” Jackson said rest is vital for recovery, and offensive coordinator Todd Monken noted the timing and physical challenges when players miss practice.
- Jackson’s production has dipped during this stretch, with sub-60% completion in recent games, one touchdown and four interceptions over the past four weeks, and a 39.6 QBR as reported by ESPN; red-zone metrics have also worsened this season.
- Baltimore is 6-7 entering Sunday’s game at Cincinnati, which ESPN Analytics says would drop the Ravens’ playoff chances to 14% with a loss.
- Practice notes show TE Mark Andrews (glute) and WR Rashod Bateman (ankle) limited for Baltimore, CB Chidobe Awuzie limited, and Cincinnati placing DE Trey Hendrickson on injured reserve while WR Tee Higgins remained limited.
