Overview
- Lamar Jackson did limited work at practice on Wednesday as he works back from an ankle injury sustained Oct. 4, but the Ravens have not cleared him as a full participant for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
- The team’s official Wednesday report listed Jackson as limited, center Cam Jurgens as a full participant after concussion protocol progress, and wide receiver Rashod Bateman as limited, with 15 players overall on the report.
- Baltimore’s offense noticeably declined without Jackson, producing just 10 points in a 13-10 Week 6 loss at Cleveland that dropped the Ravens to 4-2 and cost them the outright AFC North lead.
- Execution and line play have been persistent problems this season: the offense has been flagged an NFL-worst 31 times, the Ravens have used a league-high number of offensive-line combinations, and the club has made in-season moves like acquiring Jurgens to address those gaps.
- Sunday’s home game with Cincinnati now carries added consequence for the division race and the Ravens’ three-week stretch; Jackson’s final game-day status will shape Baltimore’s play-calling and the club’s short-term outlook.
