Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who was listed as a full participant at the team's walkthrough practice on Monday, said on Tuesday that he's "ready to go now." "I just started to feel good," according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. The two-time MVP missed three games due to a hamstring injury, but he's trending towards returning for Thursday night's contest in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins. Head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that he expects Jackson to be out there this week as well. Jackson could be limited in what he does with his legs, but even so, fantasy managers must get him back into their starting lineups if he's active for Thursday Night Football. Miami's defense shut down Falcons QB Kirk Cousins on Sunday, but overall this year, they've allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers.

The Baltimore Ravens are expecting quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) to play on Thursday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. "I feel very confident about it. I expect him to be out there Thursday," head coach John Harbaugh said. Jackson has been out of action since straining his right hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It was initially believed that the 28-year-old two-time MVP would be available coming out of the Week 7 bye, but Baltimore held him out for a third straight game this past weekend in the win over the Chicago Bears. But as long as he doesn't aggravate his hamstring in practice on a short week, it's looking like Jackson will play this week against a burnable Dolphins secondary. If Jackson is back on the field on Thursday night, he'll be a must-start in fantasy lineups.

The Baltimore Ravens could be disciplined by the league after violating the NFL's injury report policy regarding Lamar Jackson, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh spoke on the issue and said it was "an honest mistake." Jackson was originally listed as a full participant in Friday's practice ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the Bears after being listed as limited for the Wednesday and Thursday practices. However, Jackson only ran the scout team on Friday, and then the Ravens later changed his Friday practice participation to limited on Saturday and ultimately ruled him out for Week 8 as he continues to work back from a hamstring injury. More news will certainly follow in the coming days on this story. Jackson is currently expected to suit up for their Thursday night matchup against the Dolphins, but Tyler Huntley will be in line to make his second start if he is unable to go.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the NFL will review the "practice and participation situation" surrounding Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring). He was initially listed as a full participant at practice on Friday, implying there was a chance he would be active in Week 8 versus the Chicago Bears. However, after the signal-caller was ruled out on Saturday, the designation was retroactively modified from "full" to "limited." The Ravens denied any malicious intent, indicating that Jackson was a full participant, although after speaking with the league office, his status was changed since he didn't take reps with the starters. Rapoport added that the NFL "reviews any matter involving a change to a player's status," suggesting there may not be anything more to this story. Still, it's something to monitor moving ahead. As of now, Jackson is expected to suit up for the Week 9 matchup with the Miami Dolphins, with Tyler Huntley taking over under center against the Bears.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will remain sidelined for his team's Week 8 matchup against the Chicago Bears and is expected to make his return in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins. Jackson will miss his third consecutive game after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4. In his absence, Baltimore will turn to Tyler Huntley at quarterback in Week 8. Huntley replaced Cooper Rush at quarterback in Baltimore's 17-3 Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, completing 10 of 15 pass attempts for 68 yards, adding 39 yards as a rusher on three carries. Huntley brings a dual-threat element with his rushing ability, but he should be avoided by fantasy managers due to his limitations as a passer. Fantasy managers would also be wise to downgrade Baltimore's skill position players based on how the team's offense has struggled when Jackson has been sidelined this season.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) ran the scout team during practice on Friday, which could be "an indication that the two-time MVP is a week away from returning." Jackson has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in Week 4. He was able to practice in full on Friday, but it appears there is real concern that he will not be able to play in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. If Jackson is unable to go, veteran quarterback Tyler Huntley is in line to start against Chicago. In 26 career games (14 starts), Huntley has completed 64.7% of his pass attempts for 2,854 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Should Jackson be cleared to play, he remains a must-start fantasy quarterback, but fantasy managers should likely lower their expectations for what he will do as a rusher. If Huntley gets the start, fantasy managers would likely be wise to avoid Huntley and significantly downgrade key Ravens skill position pieces such as wide receiver Zay Flowers and running back Derrick Henry.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) officially picked up a questionable tag for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. His first full practice came on Friday, so it wasn't enough for the team to outright declare him as the starter yet. If he does suit up, however, Jackson has been matchup-proof, with the exception being in Week 4 when he suffered the hamstring injury. Chicago is right around the middle of the back against opposing QBs, giving up an average of 18.3 fantasy points per game. The biggest factor will be the offensive line, and if the coaches actually made the changes they talked about over the bye week. Regardless, Jackson is a must-start every time he's on the field, in case anyone was on the fence.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 8 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Jackson was able to log his first full practice of the week on Friday, but the team has not yet committed to him making his return against Chicago. The superstar signal-caller has been sidelined since Week 4 due to a hamstring injury. In four games before getting hurt, Jackson recorded 869 yards and 10 touchdowns as a passer and 166 yards and a score as a rusher. If Jackson remains out in Week 8, veteran Tyler Huntley would get the start for Baltimore. Should Jackson be healthy enough to play, he profiles as a must-start fantasy quarterback. His presence would also significantly benefit Ravens skill position players like wide receiver Zay Flowers and running back Derrick Henry, who have struggled in his absence.
Oct 24, 2025 3:59 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, and head coach John Harbaugh said the team will "see where it's at going forward." After beginning the week with two limited practices, Jackson's ramp-up is a positive sign for his availability when the Ravens host the Bears in Week 8. With Baltimore off to an unexpected 1-5 start, there is an urgency to get their two-time MVP quarterback back onto the field as soon as possible. Jackson exited the team's Week 4 loss to the Chiefs before missing two games and getting an additional week's rest with a Week 7 bye. While Cooper Rush started and struggled in the previous two games, Harbaugh has indicated that Tyler Huntley would start on Sunday if Jackson is unable to go. Jackson's status should be monitored by all when early-game inactives are announced, as his presence heavily affects the fantasy value of Ravens pass catchers Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and Rashod Bateman.
Oct 24, 2025 2:17 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) logged a limited practice again on Thursday. The star of the offense has missed the last two games for the Ravens, both losses. The Ravens return to action this week to host a Bears defense allowing 350 yards per game. If Jackson finds a way to play this week, he has an excellent opportunity to jumpstart an offense that has struggled, averaging just 251.5 yards per game with Cooper Rush under center. A return of Jackson would increase the Ravens' ability to get rest for a defense that has been gashed this season. Fantasy owners should continue to monitor Ravens injury reports throughout the weekend and be ready to plug in Jackson if healthy.
Oct 23, 2025 2:24 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) was seen on the practice field on Wednesday in the portion of practice open to the media, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. It was Jackson's first appearance at practice since straining his hamstring on Sept. 28 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He "mostly did warmup throws" with the media watch but did also "run around a little bit." The 28-year-old two-time MVP missed Weeks 5 and 6 with his hamstring strain and had last week's bye to heal up. The Ravens have been optimistic that he will return to play in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears, but nothing is set in stone just yet. We'll check back on Jackson's official practice status later on Wednesday, but he might need to practice in full by Friday to be cleared to suit up this Sunday. If Jackson is active against Chicago, he needs to be returned to all starting fantasy lineups.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has seen consistent involvement to start the 2025 season. Through six games, he's logged 15 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown, while adding 18 receptions for 144 yards and another score. Hill and Derrick Henry have operated in a near-even timeshare, with Henry playing 54% of snaps and Hill at 45%. However, with Lamar Jackson returning to the lineup, that balance could shift. In Baltimore's five losses in 2024, Henry has averaged 14.8 carries per game, compared to 20.9 carries in their wins. Hill is heavily used as a receiver in this Ravens' offense, so when the Ravens lead games, they rely on their 6'3, 250-pound running back to take over. With a healthier roster and a favorable upcoming schedule, expect Hill's usage and snap share to decline as the Ravens put more on Henry's plate.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) remained sidelined at Monday's practice, the team's first practice since coming off their Week 7 bye, according to Jamison Hensley of The Baltimore Sun. The two-time MVP hasn't suited up since injuring his hamstring in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs back on Sept. 28. The Ravens have expressed optimism that Jackson will return for the Week 9 game against the Chicago Bears, but the 28-year-old is going to need to return to practice at some point this week to be cleared by the weekend. For now, fantasy managers should consider Jackson to be questionable this week. Check back on Wednesday when the Ravens hold their first official practice of the week. Jackson is a must-start, high-end QB1 in fantasy if he returns to action this Sunday. But if he misses another game, Cooper Rush will be forced to make another start.
Oct 20, 2025 7:29 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, is expected to return when the Ravens come off their bye in Week 7 to face the Chicago Bears in Week 8, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson will have three weeks of rest, so he should be a full-go when the team comes off their bye to face Chicago. The 28-year-old two-time MVP has gone 1-3 in his four starts in 2025, but he does lead the league with a 10.5 touchdown percentage, a 10.78 adjusted yards gained per pass attempt, and a 130.5 QB rating. While this may end up being a lost season for the Ravens, Jackson still has the ability to carry fantasy football teams once he's back from his hamstring injury. The elite dual-threat signal-caller needs to be back in all starting fantasy lineups if he's active in Week 8, which is expected.
Oct 16, 2025 8:53 PM EST
The Baltimore Ravens hope that quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) can return following next week's bye, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The injury is reportedly not long-term, and Jackson has been in the team's facilities rehabbing. While a Week 8 return has certainly not been confirmed, the team views that as a reasonable target as the star quarterback continues to make progress with his recovery. In the meantime, Cooper Rush will make one more start in Week 6. Baltimore's offense has looked very underwhelming under Rush, so getting Jackson back would be good news all around. He's a fantasy QB1 whenever he's healthy.
Oct 12, 2025 10:05 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is not practicing on Friday and will miss his second straight game in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Jackson has not practiced since tweaking his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and he'll miss his second straight game. The Ravens are on their bye in Week 7, so fantasy managers can only hope that the 28-year-old will be ready to go in Week 8 for a game against the Chicago Bears. Backup Cooper Rush will make a second straight start after looking bad in the blowout loss to the Houston Texans in Week 5. Baltimore will face another capable defense in the Rams, too, so fantasy managers must once again downgrade all of the Ravens' offensive skill players. Rush went 14-for-20 for 179 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions last Sunday.
Oct 10, 2025 12:11 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, putting his Week 6 status firmly in doubt. With Jackson trending toward another absence, veteran backup Cooper Rush is expected to make his second straight start when the Ravens face the Los Angeles Rams. Fortunately for Baltimore, the team's bye week follows this matchup, giving Jackson extra time to heal before a potential Week 8 return against the Chicago Bears. Despite missing time, Jackson has been stellar when on the field, boasting a 10-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and a league-best 130.5 passer rating. Fantasy managers should stash Jackson with confidence, as he remains an elite option once he's cleared to return, while Rush can be ignored in most formats outside of two-quarterback leagues.
Oct 9, 2025 2:31 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will miss his fourth straight practice on Wednesday, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. The two-time MVP tweaked his hamstring in Week 4 and was held out of the Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans. It's looking likely that he will miss a second straight contest this Sunday versus the visiting Los Angeles Rams. The Ravens have their bye coming up in Week 7, which would allow Jackson another week of rest before potentially making his return in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears on Oct. 26. Reports earlier on Wednesday suggested that the 28-year-old is fighting an "uphill battle" to play in Week 6 against the Rams, so fantasy managers should keep him on their benches. Backup Cooper Rush, who struggled mightily last week against Houston, will be in line to make a second straight start for the 1-4 Ravens.
Oct 8, 2025 1:51 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's (hamstring) status for Week 6 is "in doubt," according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Jackson injured his hamstring in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs and subsequently missed Week 5 at home against the Houston Texans. His status for Week 6 was initially questionable but is now reported as doubtful. Cooper Rush has stepped in as the team's quarterback and will presumably continue to take the snaps against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6. With the Ravens having a Week 7 bye looming, the Ravens may want to play it safe with Jackson and allow him an extra two weeks of rest to ensure their superstar is fully healthy for the second half of the regular season. Fantasy managers should plan contingencies at the quarterback position sooner rather than later.
Oct 8, 2025 9:42 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Week 5 against the Houston Texans, and he could also end up missing Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson picked up the injury and last week's loss to the Bills, and even though he logged a full practice on Friday, Cooper Rush will start at quarterback for the Ravens. Rapoport's timetable for Jackson makes sense as the Ravens have a Week 7 bye, so if he misses next week's game, he'd have nearly a full month to recover before returning to action Oct. 26. In the meantime, Baltimore's offense could experience some growing pains. The quarterback change is a general downgrade to the offense, especially when rushing the football and trying to score points near the goal line. As soon as Jackson is healthy enough to play again, he'll return to the high-end QB1 tier.
