Ravens QB Lamar Jackson Fully Participates In Practice Ahead Of Bears Game

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson fully participated in practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, offering hope for his return after a right hamstring injury that sidelined him for two games. Coach John Harbaugh remained cautious, stating that Jackson's status would be evaluated as they determine the best chance to win, and Jackson is expected to be listed as questionable on the injury report. The Ravens, currently 1-5 and tied for their worst start in franchise history, have struggled offensively without Jackson, averaging only 6.5 points in his absence compared to 32.8 points in his starts. Backup Tyler Huntley is the likely starter if Jackson cannot play, as Cooper Rush has struggled with zero touchdown passes and five turnovers in two starts. Ravens tight end Mark Andrews highlighted Jackson's importance as a player and leader, calling his potential return an "incredibly big spark" for the team. Jackson's full practice participation marks his most extensive work since the injury 26 days ago, signaling a positive development for the Ravens' playoff hopes.
