Recovery and Practice Progress
Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson will start Sunday against the Buffalo Bills after sitting out the past three games with a high ankle sprain. He took part in every practice this week for the first time since the injury occurred 26 days earlier. Jackson described the discomfort as manageable and noted improved movement compared to the prior week, though he has not reached full strength. He was seen jogging without favoring the ankle during limited media sessions but avoided full-speed running.
Team Records With and Without Jackson
Since becoming the full-time starter in 2019, the Ravens hold a 76-35 record with Jackson and average 28 points per game. Without him across the past seven seasons, the team is 7-14 and averages 17.6 points. This season, Baltimore scored 14 touchdowns in 14 quarters with Jackson but only five touchdowns in 14 quarters without him. The club enters the game at 4-3 after two straight losses and sits last in the AFC North.
Matchup Context and Expectations
Buffalo stands at 5-1 and has won the past three meetings in its home stadium. The Bills defense ranks 31st against the pass. Jackson ranked third in the NFL with an 82.6 QBR before the injury, throwing six touchdown passes against one interception while leading all quarterbacks with 144 rushing yards. The team has prepared for possible rust by simulating game conditions in practice.
