Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is set to return from a high ankle sprain for Sunday's clash against the Buffalo Bills. The two-time NFL MVP missed three games but participated fully in practice this week, describing his ankle pain as "bearable." Jackson noted improved mobility, saying, "I feel like I'm no longer a statue." While not at full strength, his return is expected to provide an emotional lift. The Ravens are 76-35 with Jackson as starter since 2019, averaging 28 points per game, compared to 7-14 without him.
Coach Jesse Minter emphasized game-like reps to counter rust. Jackson addressed social media criticism, asking, "Why would you second-guess me?" Baltimore (4-3) sits last in the AFC North after two straight losses. The Bills (5-1) have beaten the Ravens three straight times in Buffalo.
Jackson ranked third in NFL QBR (82.6) with six touchdowns before the injury.
