Lamar Jackson to Start Sunday After Three Full Practices

The Ravens hope his return will revive an offense that sputtered during his three-game absence against a 5-1 Bills team led by Josh Allen.

Overview

  • Ravens coach Jesse Minter confirmed Friday that Lamar Jackson will start Sunday at Buffalo after Jackson completed full practice sessions Wednesday through Friday.
  • Jackson missed three games with a high-ankle sprain and said he still feels pain but described it as "bearable" and that he can move better than he could a week ago.
  • Baltimore went 1-2 while Jackson was out and averaged about 17.7 points in those starts, with second-half scoring drying up in the last two losses.
  • The Ravens’ final injury report ruled out right guard Vega Ioane and safety Jaylinn Hawkins for the game, which could weaken the offensive line and the secondary.
  • Pre-game consensus favors the Bills, with most pundits picking Buffalo as a narrow favorite, and analysts warn limited mobility from Jackson could blunt the Ravens’ usual run-pass threat.
