Lamar Jackson Returns to Practice

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (foot) returned to practice on Monday, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. A teammate stepped on Jackson's foot during training camp practice last Wednesday, and although the issue was never considered serious, the Ravens gave the 28-year-old two-time MVP a few days off to rest last week. Now that Jackson is officially back at practice, he'll have two full week of practice to prepare for the Week 1 regular-season opener versus the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Sept. 7. Only the Bills' Josh Allen is ranked higher at the QB position at RotoBaller for fantasy going into the 2025 season, so managers are going to have to pay a pretty penny to secure Jackson as their starting signal-caller in upcoming drafts. The four-time Pro Bowler is as dangerous as they come with both his arm and legs after throwing for 4,172 yards and 41 TDs and running for 915 yards last year.

Lamar Jackson Should Practice on Monday

According to Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, quarterback Lamar Jackson (foot) will practice on Monday. However, Harbaugh added (with a smile on his face) that it could change if the signal-caller "doesn't want to." He was injured during Wednesday's practice after his foot was stepped on. Fortunately, X-rays came back negative, so he should be good to go moving ahead. Jackson is coming off a strong 2024 campaign, throwing a career-high 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns. He also tossed only four interceptions and added four more scores on the ground while finishing just 85 yards shy of the 1,000-yard rushing mark. Baltimore has a tougher schedule compared to most of the teams around the National Football League, meaning Jackson may not be as productive. Still, he's a top-tier fantasy quarterback and should have a place in the MVP conversation all season, assuming he stays healthy.

Lamar Jackson is Fine After X-Rays Come Back Negative

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that quarterback Lamar Jackson (foot) is fine after he was stepped on during Wednsday's training camp practice. Jackson got an X-ray, which came back negative, just for peace of mind. "Prayers do get answered," Harbaugh said. The Ravens held Jackson out of practice on Thursday because his foot was still sore. The 28-year-old two-time MVP will not play in the team's preseason finale on Saturday against the Washington Commanders, but he'll be just fine for the Week 1 regular-season opener in a showdown with the Buffalo Bills. Jackson was already an elite fantasy threat with his legs, but he took the next step as a passer last year, too. He finished as the QB1 with 4,172 passing yards, 41 touchdowns and only four interceptions while rushing for 915 yards and four more scores.

Lamar Jackson Not Practicing on Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (foot) is not practicing with the team on Thursday after leaving Wednesday's practice early after having his foot stepped on, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. The Ravens said on Wednesday that Jackson is fine, so they are just giving th two-time MVP a day off after a minor injury. Jackson is not going to play in the preseason finale on Saturday against the Washington Commanders, but he'll be ready to rock for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, in a rematch of the AFC Divisional Round versus the Buffalo Bills. The 28-year-old former first-rounder is in his prime as an elite dual-threat quarterback. Jackson threw for a career-best 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns and four interceptions in 17 regular-season starts in 2024 and also ran for 915 yards and four more TDs.

Lamar Jackson Dealing With Minor Foot Injury

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (foot) left training camp practice on Wednesday because his foot was stepped on, according to a team spokesman. Jackson is expected to be fine. It was initially reported that Jackson appeared to injure his hand/wrist. The two-time MVP will be ready for the start of the regular season and will be one of the first signal-callers off the board in fantasy drafts. The 28-year-old took the next step as a passer in 2024, throwing for a career-high 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns and only four interceptions on 474 pass attempts over 17 regular-season starts. He added 915 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground on 139 rushing attempts. The Ravens offense proved last year that both Jackson and running back Derrick Henry can eat on the ground. Jackson is the QB2 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings.

Lamar Jackson Suffers Apparent Hand Injury

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hand, wrist) left Wednesday's training camp practice early with what appeared to be a right-wrist/hand injury, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Jackson was knocked down around 90 minutes into practice and stayed for a few plays before heading into the team's facilities. It's unclear if the 28-year-old hit his hand on another player's helmet, but we will certainly bring you updates on the two-time MVP's status going forward. Jackson's dual-threat abilities under center make him one of the most dangerous signal-callers in the league, so Baltimore's offense would take a major hit if this turns out to be an injury that sidelines him going into the regular season. If Jackson misses time, former Dallas Cowboys QB Cooper Rush would be forced into starting duties for the Ravens.

Lamar Jackson Not Expected to Play in Second Preseason Game

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that the same players who didn't play at all in the preseason opener last week against the Indianapolis Colts won't play in their second preseason tilt versus the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, either. It means that key starters like quarterback Lamar Jackson won't be suiting up. Backup Cooper Rush could get more than a quarter of action this weekend. The 28-year-old Jackson didn't play at all last preseason, so don't be surprised if the same thing happens this year after he threw for a career-high 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns and only four interceptions in 17 regular-season games a year ago. The four-time Pro Bowler and two-time MVP is at the top of his game and is a high-end, dual-threat QB1 for fantasy managers in 2025. Jackson isn't dealing with any sort of injury this summer.

Lamar Jackson to be Even Better in 2025?

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson finished the 2024 season with career-highs in passing yards (4,172), completions (316) and touchdown passes (41) while throwing only four interceptions on 474 attempts. He added 915 yards on the ground and passed Michael Vick for all-time rushing yards by a QB. Jackson is scary good as a passer and a runner, which is why he'll be one of the first QBs taken in fantasy drafts in the early rounds. BaltimoreRavens.com's Clifton Brown writes that Jackson is set up for even more success in 2025 going into his third season with Todd Monken running the offense. Baltimore became the first team in NFL history with 40 passing TDs and 20 rushing TDs in the same year in 2024. They were also the first team to throw for at least 4,000 yards and rush for at least 3,000. There's the potential for Jackson to take his game to yet another level.

Extension for Lamar Jackson on Ravens Docket

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that a contract extension for star quarterback Lamar Jackson is on the docket for the Baltimore Ravens. "We're in the introductory stage of looking at what an extension looks like," general manager Eric DeCosta said. As things stand right now, Jackson is the 10th-highest paid QB in the NFL. The 28-year-old four-time Pro Bowler, three-time All-Pro and two-time MVP not only deserves a new contract, but the Ravens want to get one done so that they can lower his high salary cap number. If Jackson becomes the highest-paid signal-caller in the league, which is probably likely, he'll make more than $60 million per year. He was incredible last year as the QB1 in fantasy with a career-high 4,172 passing yards, 41 TDs and only four picks in 17 regular-season starts while adding 915 rushing yards and four more TDs. As long as he stays healthy, he's pretty much a lock as a top-five QB.

Ravens Have Had Early Extension Talks With Lamar Jackson

The Baltimore Ravens have had early contract-extension talks with quarterback Lamar Jackson, and head coach John Harbaugh said that when a deal does get completed, Jackson will become the highest-paid player in NFL history. It's not that big of a surprise after Jackson came close to winning his third MVP award in 2024. The four-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro had another excellent season for the Ravens last year, throwing for a career-high 4,172 yards, career-high 41 touchdowns and only four interceptions in 17 regular-season starts while also adding 915 rushing yards on 139 attempts for another four touchdowns on the ground. Baltimore's season came to a disappointing end in the Divisional Round in a loss to the Buffalo Bills, but the 28-year-old dual-threat signal-caller was the QB1 overall in fantasy points and should be the first quarterback off the board in fantasy drafts in 2025.

Lamar Jackson Falls Just Short During Comeback

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson committed a couple of uncharacteristic turnovers in the first half on Sunday, but almost turned it all around in the second half. During the 27-25 loss to the Bills, Jackson finished with 254 yards and one interception on 18-for-25 throwing while gathering 39 yards on six carries and a fumble. He did a great job shaking off the rough first half to get the team within a two-point conversion of tying the game in the fourth quarter. He went 12-for-15 for 131 yards and a touchdown in the second half, but the third costly turnover from Mark Andrews and a dropped two-point conversion was the nail in the coffin.

Lamar Jackson Carries Big Expectations Into Buffalo

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has produced his best season yet and goes into Buffalo to take on the other MVP candidate in a rematch from Week 4. In that first matchup, Jackson posted 156 yards and two touchdowns on 13-for-18 throwing, and six carries for 54 yards and another touchdown. Both teams have changed considerably since then, but the Ravens' run game definitely hasn't slowed down. The game is supposed to be one of the coldest that Jackson has ever played in which means it could turn to more of a running script again, but it's hard to get better than Jackson in DFS formats. The option should be featured quite heavily while Rashod Bateman can find himself open for a deep strike.

Lamar Jackson Not On The Injury Report For Divisional Round

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) suffered a minor back injury in last Saturday's wild-card win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers but is not listed on the injury report this week as the team begins preparing for a Divisional Round showdown this Sunday against the hosting Buffalo Bills. Jackson's status for this weekend's big game was never really in question, but now it's official that the 28-year-old will be good to go. Last year's NFL MVP had only 175 passing yards and two touchdowns in the win over Pittsburgh, adding 81 rushing yards on 15 attempts, but he'll likely be needed to do more against Buffalo in what should be a high-scoring affair. The QB1 in overall fantasy points during the regular season, Jackson will be a high-priced, top-tier QB option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues against Buffalo, even if he's without top wideout Zay Flowers (knee) for a second straight game.

Lamar Jackson Not Expected To Be Limited In Practice This Week

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) was kneed in the back in the second quarter of Saturday's wild-card win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. However, head coach John Harbaugh didn't seem too concerned on Monday that it would affect Jackson's practice status this week. "It doesn't look that way, from what I've been told," Harbaugh said. The 28-year-old Jackson, who could win his second straight MVP award for the 2024 season, was seen grimacing late in the 28-14 win over Pittsburgh, but he never left the game and should be fine to play in a Divisional Round showdown versus the Buffalo Bills at Orchard Park this coming weekend. Jackson threw for only 175 yards but added two passing TDs and 81 rushing yards against the Steelers. In what should be a high-scoring shootout against Buffalo, Jackson will be a high-end, expensive starting QB in fantasy.

Lamar Jackson Posts All-Around Efficient Game In Win Over Steelers

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put together an incredibly efficient performance to easily dismantle the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card matchup on Saturday. The three-time All-Pro finished with 175 yards and two touchdowns on 16-for-21 throwing while adding 81 yards on 15 carries. He averaged 5.4 yards per carry and 10.9 yards per completion, finishing with a 132.0 passer rating. Jackson said he's not cheering for anyone specifically to play in the next round, but depending on the Bills and Broncos game, they will either host the Texans or travel to Buffalo next.

Lamar Jackson Draws Rival Steelers In First Round

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson drew a first-round matchup with the longtime rival Pittsburgh Steelers in what he hopes will be a different playoff experience. Jackson and company split the season series with the Steelers but won via blowout in their last game at home. That was the first non-COVID era home game he started against the Steelers and he registered 207 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception on 15-for-23 throwing with nine carries for 22 yards. Since their bye week, Jackson has thrown for at least two touchdowns in each game and has averaged 220.5 passing yards with 59.3 rushing yards. Signs point to much of the same which would make Jackson the big-time favorite for any and all DFS lineups in this showdown.

He also leads the league in seven different passing stats according to pro-football-reference. Jackson and company will host a first-round playoff game once the matchups are decided.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is in the race for his second consecutive MVP and third overall while leading the team into a regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns.

The last time these two teams faced off, Jackson posted 289 yards and two touchdowns on 23-for-38 throwing despite losing 24-29. The Browns have a long injury list this time around and have decided to rest some players since they're out of the playoff race. Fantasy managers still competing in Week 18 will want to keep Jackson in all lineups.

The Ravens were so comfortably in the lead after the third quarter that Jackson was able to get some rest in the fourth. They now control their division destiny and will take on the Cleveland Browns to finish the regular season.

Lamar Jackson Ready To Make An MVP Statement On Christmas

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has come out of the team's Week 14 bye with a vengeance after posting big-time performances against the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, in a short week, he goes up against the Houston Texans who allow 17.4 fantasy points per game (12th most) to opposing quarterbacks. The last time these two times faced off in last year's playoffs, Jackson finished with four total touchdowns, 152 passing yards on 16-for-22 throwing, and 100 yards on the ground. The QB1 on the season remains a set-it-and-forget-it type of play.
