Overview

  • Quarterbacks coach Tee Martin said he sensed about two weeks ago that Jackson was ready for the opener, and Jackson has since resumed practicing after his hand was stepped on.
  • Reporters and teammates describe a sharper, more vocal leadership approach from Jackson throughout training camp.
  • Baltimore reinforced the roster by signing DeAndre Hopkins, extending Derrick Henry, adding defensive backs Jaire Alexander and Chidobe Awuzie, and finalizing a four-year, $100.4 million extension with safety Kyle Hamilton.
  • Jackson is coming off career-best passing marks in 2024 with 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns, a league-leading 119.6 passer rating, and 915 rushing yards.
  • The quarterback enters 2025 with a 3-5 postseason record after last season’s divisional loss to the Bills, and Baltimore opens Week 1 in prime time against Buffalo.
