Lamar Jackson returns to Ravens practice ahead of game vs. Broncos in Week 9

Lamar Jackson returns to Ravens practice ahead of game vs. Broncos in Week 9

The Ravens will play two games in four days, and after two days of rest, Lamar Jackson returned to practice on Friday.

Head Coach John Harbaugh said Jackson got a “rest day” on Wednesday, though he was officially listed with a back/knee injury designation.

Following Sunday’s game against the Broncos, the Ravens have a short turnaround before facing the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night, then the Pittsburgh Steelers the following Sunday.

Jackson hasn’t missed a game due to injury since the end of the 2022 season.

Defensive end Broderick Washington (knee), defensive tackle Travis Jones (ankle), and defensive end Brent Urban (concussion) are all not practicing Thursday. With nose tackle Michael Pierce (calf) going on IR earlier this week, the only healthy defensive lineman on the 53-man roster is Nnamdi Madubuike.
