Lamar Jackson attends Ravens’ voluntary workouts

Posted on | by Field Level Media

As the Baltimore Ravens became the first team to report for offseason workouts Monday, two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson was front and center.

Participation is voluntary and there was some question about whether the veteran quarterback would report as the two sides work on a contract extension.

The Ravens posted a short video of Jackson’s arrival at the Under Armour Performance Center on social media.

Jackson’s presence was important as Baltimore begins its first offseason under new head coach Jesse Minter and new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle.

“I just think that he’s excited for us to connect, for us to build a relationship, for us to trust each other, for us to be able to talk through things,” Minter said of Jackson at the NFL owners meetings last week in Phoenix.

“You don’t become the level of player that he has without a great work ethic, without being a great teammate, and without being a leader. I am just excited for him to continue to grow, evolve, and become an even better version of Lamar.”

Jackson, 29, and the Ravens missed the playoffs last season under longtime coach John Harbaugh. He passed for 2,549 yards with 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 13 starts (6-7 record), adding 349 yards and two scores on the ground.

Report: Tyler Huntley returning to Ravens on 2-year deal

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Quarterback Tyler Huntley is staying with the Baltimore Ravens, with the sides agreeing to a two-year $5 million deal, multiple outlets reported.

Per reports, the contract contains up to $6 million in incentives.

Huntley, 28, has spent five of his six NFL seasons with the Ravens, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2020.

The Miami Dolphins claimed him off the Ravens’ practice squad in 2024, and he re-signed with the Ravens in 2025.

He has started 11 games for an injured Lamar Jackson and started five more in place of Tua Tagovailoa with the Dolphins and has a 7-9 record as a starter.

Huntley has appeared in 30 games overall, completing 66.2% of his passes for 3,212 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He has five rushing touchdowns and 795 yards on the ground.

Ravens tip cap to Browns; Lamar Jackson’s status TBD

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Ravens celebrated the Cleveland Browns on their scheduled day off Sunday.

Cleveland’s win over the Steelers left the door open for the Ravens to make the playoffs by virtue of a Week 18 victory at Pittsburgh.

Baltimore stayed alive by winning at Green Bay on Saturday, then went home with hope and spent Sunday rooting for the Browns.

“We had fun (watching), but it was a nailbiter. Great job by the Browns, obviously,” Harbaugh said Monday. “That was a great example of AFC North football.”

Tyler Huntley won his second start this season in place of Lamar Jackson, who missed the game due to a back contusion. Jackson’s status for Sunday will be clearer by Wednesday, Harbaugh said.

“It’s to be determined. He’s working at it. I saw him in here today working at it,” Harbaugh said.

Injuries have dogged Jackson since he injured his hamstring in September at Kansas City. He was unable to practice last week and the back issue is the latest on a list of maladies blocking Jackson from participating in a full week of practice for two months.

“We’re excited for the opportunity. It’s a division championship game for sure,” Harbaugh said.

The Steelers are dealing with their own personnel questions and again will be without wide receiver DK Metcalf (suspension). Tight end Darnell Washington is out after breaking his arm Sunday.

Jackson made improvement as last week progressed and gave the Ravens “cause for optimism,” but Harbaugh clarified again Monday that all injury decisions are in the hands of the medical and training staff.

“The fact we have a lot of confidence in Tyler is a real big plus but it’s not a factor in whether we play Lamar. If he’s healthy, he’s playing,” Harbaugh said.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) inactive for game vs. Packers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson has been downgraded from doubtful and is inactive for the Ravens’ game Saturday night at Green Bay because of a back contusion.

The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player missed practice all week after being kneed in the back in the first half of the 28-24 loss Sunday to the New England Patriots.

Tyler Huntley will start for the Ravens (7-8), who need to beat Green Bay (9-5-1) to avoid elimination from the playoffs.

Baltimore is 6-6 with Jackson and 1-2 without him this season as he also missed three games in October because of a hamstring injury.

The Packers on Friday ruled out starting quarterback Jordan Love, who is in concussion protocol on Friday after being hurt in the first half of a 22-16 overtime loss at Chicago.

Backup Malik Willis, who missed Wednesday’s practice (illness) and was limited on Tuesday and Thursday (shoulder), is expected to get the start.

Other inactives for the Ravens are wide receiver Tylan Wallace, cornerback Keyon Martin, offensive tackle Joseph Noteboom and defensive tackle Aeneas Peebles.

Other inactives for the Packers are offensive lineman Zach Tom, wide receiver Savion Williams and defensive linemen Collin Oliver, Nazir Stackhouse and Barryn Sorrell.

With elimination looming, Ravens’ Lamar Jackson misses practice

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed practice Wednesday with a back injury, putting his availability in question for Saturday’s road game against the Green Bay Packers.

Jackson was knocked out of Sunday’s 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots with a back injury in the second quarter.

The Ravens (7-8) face elimination from the playoff chase with a loss to the Packers after winning consecutive AFC North titles. As it is, Baltimore’s chances of reaching the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons are slim.

The Ravens need to win each of their final two games — against the Packers and Steelers — while Pittsburgh also loses this week against the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens would be eliminated this week with a loss and a Steelers victory.

Just doing their part by winning two games would be a tall order without Jackson, who missed three games in October with a hamstring injury as Baltimore went 1-2. When Jackson returned in Week 9, the Ravens won four consecutive games to improve from their 1-5 start to the season.

Jackson was the only Ravens player to miss practice Wednesday.

Jackson, 28, has completed 63.7% of his passes this season for 2,311 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. But his mobility has been nowhere near what it has been in the past with 340 rushing yards. He has never finished a season with fewer than 695 rushing yards.

In eight NFL seasons, all with the Ravens, Jackson has completed 64.8% of his passes for 184 touchdowns and 55 interceptions over 115 games (106 starts). He is 3-5 over his eight career playoff games.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson returns to practice

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice on Thursday, one day after sitting out the session for rest purposes.

Jackson has missed at least one practice for five consecutive weeks due to a variety of reasons.

The two-time NFL MVP threw for a touchdown and rushed for another in Baltimore’s 27-22 setback to the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. He is expected to be under center for the Ravens (6-7) this Sunday against the host Cincinnati Bengals (4-9).

Injuries have limited Jackson for more than two months. He missed three games with a hamstring injury following a 37-20 loss at Kansas City on Sept. 28.

Jackson, 28, has completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 2,060 yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in 10 games this season. He’s also rushed for 307 yards with two scores.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson returns to practice, set to face Steelers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice on Friday and will be under center when Baltimore hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday with first place in the AFC North on the line.

Jackson confirmed that he was stepped on during practice on Wednesday, leading to him being limited in that session. The ankle injury kept him out of practice on Thursday.

Head coach John Harbaugh was quick to confirm that the two-time NFL MVP will start Sunday’s contest between the Ravens (6-6) and Steelers (6-6).

As for Jackson, he is looking to atone for a three-turnover performance on Thanksgiving night in Baltimore’s 32-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

“It’s a turnover-battle game. The team who has the ball the most and puts the most points on the board, that’s the gonna be the outcome of who’s gonna win the game,” Jackson said of this Sunday’s contest.

“That’s all there is to it. It’s a huge rivalry. It’s like a playoff game.”

Jackson has missed at least one practice for four consecutive weeks while the Ravens dug out of a hole in the AFC North. Baltimore started the season 1-5 but worked to get back to 6-5 before losing last week and throwing the division into a toss-up that could even include the Bengals. Cincinnati (4-8) has Joe Burrow back in the fold and heads to Buffalo on Sunday.

Injuries have limited Jackson for more than two months. He missed three games with a hamstring injury following a 37-20 loss at Kansas City on Sept. 28.

But he beat the Steelers in two of their three games last season — including the wild-card round win in January 2025 — throwing six touchdown passes and leaning on running back Derrick Henry for massive production. Henry gained 186 yards with two touchdowns in the playoff win only four weeks after rushing for 162 yards on 24 carries Week 16.

The Steelers won the game played last November in Pittsburgh, 18-16, and swept the Ravens in 2023.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson misses Thursday practice

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Lamar Jackson missed practice on Thursday as the Baltimore Ravens shifted gears on preparation for a collision with the rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday that will set the top of the AFC North standings.

Jackson had three turnovers on Thanksgiving night in the Ravens’ loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and was limited Wednesday because of an ankle injury that erased him from participating at all Thursday.

Jackson has missed at least one practice for four consecutive weeks while the Ravens dug out of a hole in the AFC North. Baltimore started the season 1-5 but worked to get back to 6-5 before losing last week and throwing the division into a toss up that could even include the Bengals. Cincinnati (4-8) has Joe Burrow back in the fold and heads to Buffalo on Sunday.

Tyler Huntley stepped in for Jackson and defeated the Chicago Bears (30-16) on Oct. 26 to kickstart a five-game winning streak. Huntley made a start in Jackson’s place in the regular-season finale in 2023, a 17-10 Baltimore loss. Huntley was sacked four times and completed 15 of 28 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown.

Injuries have limited Jackson for more than two months. He missed three games with a hamstring injury following a 37-20 loss at Kansas City on Sept. 28.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) returns to practice

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday’s session with an ankle injury.

It is the second straight week the two-time MVP did not practice on Wednesday of a game week. Last week, it was knee soreness that interrupted his preparations.

If the pattern holds, Jackson should be ready to start on Sunday when the streaking Ravens (5-5) host the New York Jets (2-8) while looking for their fifth straight win.

Jackson completed 14 of 25 passes for 193 yards and two interceptions in last Sunday’s 23-16 road victory against the Cleveland Browns. He was sacked five times and finished with a season-low passer rating of 47.6.

This has been an injury-plagued year for the 28-year-old Jackson, who missed three games earlier this season due to a hamstring ailment. Baltimore lost two of those games and fell to 1-5 before a Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears kicked off the Ravens’ current streak.

For the season, Jackson has completed a career-best 68% of his passes for 1,442 yards with 15 touchdowns and three interceptions in seven starts. He has been running less this season, gaining 226 yards on 39 carries with one TD.

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will start Sunday’s road game against the Cleveland Browns, head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Friday.

Jackson returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday’s workout with knee discomfort. The two-time MVP missed three games earlier this season with a hamstring injury.

Jackson told reporters Thursday that his knee is “fine” and he’s ready to lead the streaking Ravens (4-5) against the Browns (2-7). Baltimore has won three straight and can reach .500 for the first time this season with a win.

Jackson completed 19 of 29 passes for 225 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-17 home win against the Browns in Week 2. He was sacked three times, with Cleveland star Myles Garrett credited with 1.5 sacks.

“Try to get as much hands and objects on him as possible,” Jackson said of the Ravens’ game plan against Garrett on Sunday. “I’m going to do whatever it takes to win.”

Jackson, 28, has completed 70.1% of his passes for 1,249 yards with 15 touchdowns and one interception in six starts this season. He has rushed for 216 yards and one score.
