Lamar Jackson Cleared for Return, Ravens Eye Playoff Push After Hamstring Recovery

Lamar Jackson is set to return for Thursday night's game after missing the past three games due to a hamstring injury. He was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, stating his hamstring "feels great" and expressing no concerns about rust, emphasizing, "That’s what practice is for... Come Thursday night, we'll just fly." Jackson had previously returned to limited work last week. Before his injury, he led the NFL with a 130.5 passer rating, throwing 10 touchdowns and one interception, with the Ravens averaging 32.7 points per game with him. His return sparks debate among analysts like Willie Colon, Danny Parkins, and Coach Eric Mangini about his ability to turn the Ravens' season around and lead them to a late AFC playoff push.
