Lamar Jackson set to return in Week 8 to help Ravens snap 2-game losing streak: 'That's what I'm ready to do'
Jackson has been out since Week 4 with a high ankle sprain.
The Baltimore Ravens plan to bring Lamar Jackson back into the lineup for their upcoming Week 8 matchup against the 5-1 Buffalo Bills, aiming to end their two-game losing streak. Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed on Friday that Jackson is ready to return, having participated fully in practice sessions over the past three days. The quarterback, who has been out since Week 4 due to a high ankle sprain, expressed his excitement about returning to the field and helping his team secure a victory.
During Jackson's absence, the Ravens struggled, going 1-2 with Tyler Huntley under center, including losses to division rivals Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals. Baltimore occupies the fourth spot in the AFC North, trailing division leaders Cleveland and Pittsburgh by a single game, while the Bengals sit one game ahead at four wins.
Jackson emphasized the urgency to regain momentum, stating that his fellow players are eager to bounce back after last week's loss to the Bills. He highlighted the significant impact he has on the team, noting that the Ravens have scored 14 touchdowns in the 14 quarters he has played this season, compared to just five times during the same period without him.
