Lamar Jackson Returns to Ravens Practice Amid Hamstring Injury Ahead of Bears Game

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is back at practice for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury on Sept. 28.

Jackson joined the Ravens on the field about 20 minutes into practice and was seen running and practicing warm-up throws, per The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec.

Jackson had not previously played or practiced since suffering a hamstring injury in the third quarter of a Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Ravens have since gone 0-2 with Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley under center. Rush and Huntley most recently combined for just 117 passing yards and no touchdowns in a Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Jackson started out the season by throwing for 869 yards with 10 touchdowns and one interception through four games.

The two-time NFL MVP had completed 71.6 percent of his passes while adding 166 rushing yards and a touchdown on 21 carries prior to his injury.

With Baltimore's playoff odds in jeopardy following a 1-5 start to the season, the team will hope its Week 7 bye gave Jackson enough recovery time to return ahead of Week 8.

Given how much the Ravens rely on their quarterback's mobility, the team will need to assess his recovery status before deciding if he will be able to participate when Baltimore returns to action Sunday with a home game against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.

If Jackson remains sidelined for the Week 8 contest, Rush and Huntley could once more split the workload as the Ravens look to turn around what has so far been a disappointing 2025 season.
