Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson remained sidelined in the past three NFL games, including Sunday’s 30-16 win against the Chicago Bears. Jackson was ruled out due to a hamstring injury that he had sustained against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4.
In a major relief to the Ravens, a positive update on the two-time MVP’s potential return has now been revealed. Jackson is expected to make a comeback from his injury and start Thursday night’s game against the Miami Dolphins, ESPN quoted coach John Harbaugh as saying.
Lamar Jackson to be back soon
“I feel very confident about it,” Harbaugh said. “It was a great walkthrough for him (Jackson). He looked great.”
Prior to his injury, Jackson led the NFL with a 130.5 passer rating, throwing 10 touchdowns and one interception, as per ESPN. Jackson was estimated as a full participant in the team’s walkthrough on Monday.
A devastating injury
Jackson hurt his hamstring in Kansas City on September 28 when he had to leave in the third quarter of his side’s 37-20 defeat. The 28-year-old made a comeback to practice last week as a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday.

Jackson’s participation has proved to be vital for the Ravens. Since 2018, the Ravens have been 74-32 (.698), including playoffs, with Jackson as their starting quarterback. Without him, during that time period, the Ravens are 5-12 (.294).
In his eight-year career, Jackson is 2-0 in his first game after being sidelined.
In their last game, the Ravens got the better of the Chicago Bears, registering a 30-16 win. The defeat ended their four-game winning streak on Sunday. Ravens, on the other hand, brought their four-game losing run to an end with the win over the Bears.
For the Ravens, their backup quarterback, Tyler Huntley, played a key role in the game, completing 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown while adding 53 yards on the ground.
