Lamar Jackson Returns to Practice as Limited Participant While Week 7 Status Remains Uncertain

Limited on-field work signals progress with Jackson's availability for Sunday still undecided and likely to shape Baltimore's game plan.

Overview

  • Jackson has not played since suffering an ankle injury on Oct. 4 and returned to the practice field Wednesday as a limited participant for the first time since then.
  • Reporters earlier observed Jackson absent at the start of Wednesday's practice, creating conflicting real-time accounts before the team's official update confirmed limited work.
  • Ravens coach Jesse Minter continues to list Jackson as day-to-day and said the club will need to be sure he is healthy enough to play before making a decision.
  • Tyler Huntley has started the two games Jackson missed and gone 1-1, a stopgap that preserves competitiveness but narrows Baltimore's play-calling compared with Jackson's skill set.
  • Other practice returns on Wednesday included center Cam Jurgens clearing concussion protocol and cornerback T. J. Tampa coming off IR, moves that could shift lineups regardless of Jackson's game-day status.
