Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that Jackson (foot) should resume practicing Monday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harbaugh joked that the QB is on track to return but will only participate if he wants to. Either way, it's the latest sign Jackson avoided a serious injury after a teammate stepped on his foot Wednesday. He didn't practice Thursday but should be back early this week as Baltimore transitions from the preseason to preparing for a Week 1 road game at Buffalo.

Coach John Harbaugh confirmed Thursday that Jackson is "fine" after X-rays on the QB's foot revealed no damage, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson, who left Wednesday's practice early because a teammate stepped on his foot, was held out of Thursday's session because his foot is sore, but at this stage the issue isn't viewed as a concern by Harbaugh. Chances are, Jackson will be held out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Commanders, and if that's the case, he'll turn his focus toward preparing for the Ravens' Sept. 7 regular-season opener against the Bills.

Jackson (foot) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson left Wednesday's practice early because a teammate stepped on his foot, though afterward a team spokesperson said that the QB is "fine." With Jackson not participating in Thursday's session, it doesn't seem likely that he'll appear in Saturday's preseason finale against the Commanders.

Jackson left Wednesday's practice early because a teammate stepped on his foot, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initial reports from beat writers suggested Jackson's departure was due to a hand/wrist injury. He may have dealt with discomfort in that area earlier in Wednesday's practice, but a team spokesman clarified that Jackson ultimately left because his foot was stepped on. The spokesman also downplayed the incident and said Jackson is fine.

Jackson left Wednesday's practice early with a possible hand/wrist injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He reportedly stayed on the practice field for a few more plays after getting knocked down, but Jackson then left early before the rest of his teammates. Ravens coach John Harbaugh may be able to provide an update later Wednesday or Thursday.

Jackson is not in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Hensley, the same goes for RB Derrick Henry, as well as other front-line starters who (like Jackson and Henry) didn't play in last Thursday's preseason opener. It remains to be seen if Jackson will see any snaps in Baltimore's Aug. 23 preseason finale against the Commanders, but even if he does, it likely won't be many, as the team's priority is understandably keeping the star QB healthy ahead of Week 1.

Jackson and other key starters won't play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson didn't play at all last preseason and likely won't stay in for long if he does start the second or third exhibition. There's been no report of any health issues or missed practice time this summer, but TE Isaiah Likely (foot) hasn't been so fortunate and may miss the regular-season opener at Buffalo.

Jackson is entering Year 3 with offensive coordinator Todd Monken in 2025 with the most complete set of skill-position talent of his career, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

While falling short of his third MVP award last season, Jackson still managed career highs in passing yards (4,172), touchdown passes (41) and yards per attempt (8.8). He also tacked on 915 yards on the ground to surpass Michael Vick for most rushing yards for a QB in his career. Baltimore's returning offensive talent features RBs Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman and TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, but the team added a new dimension in free agency with contested-catch artist DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins mustered a career-low six catches of 20-plus yards between the Titans and Chiefs in 2024, but Jackson so far has spoken glowingly of the 12-year pro, stating, "He is different. ... I am looking forward to throwing a lot of touchdowns to him this year." If the unit elevates its level of play further, Jackson and company could become the second offense in NFL history to surpass 4,000 yards through the air and 3,000 rushing yards in a single campaign, repeating what the Ravens did last year.

Jackson completed 18 of 25 passes for 254 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed six times for 39 yards in the Ravens' 27-25 divisional-round loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson's afternoon started off swimmingly with an eight-play, 73-yard march the star signal-caller capped off with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman. However, Jackson badly overthrew Bateman under pressure on the next possession and then lost a fumble on a sack by Damar Hamlin to short-circuit Baltimore's third drive. The latter turnover helped lead to a Bills touchdown four plays later, but Lamar was able to battle back in the second half and threw his second touchdown pass of the evening on a dynamic play where he bought time with his legs before delivering a 24-yard strike to Isaiah Likely to bring the Ravens to within two. Jackson then threw a very catchable pass to Mark Andrews for the would-be game-tying two-point conversion, but the veteran tight end failed to hang on and essentially sealed the loss with his drop. The narrow defeat came in the wake of another MVP-caliber season for the 2018 first-round pick, who completed 316 of 474 passes for a career-high 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. Jackson tossed only four interceptions as well and added 915 rushing yards and four scores on the ground, and he'll head into 2025 set to play out the third year of the five-year, $260 million extension he signed prior to the 2023 campaign.

Jackson isn't listed on the Ravens' injury report ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Jackson got kneed in the back during the second quarter of this past Saturday's wild-card win over the Steelers, but the star QB's practice reps weren't impacted at all Wednesday, setting the stage for him to face Buffalo on Sunday. While Jackson's status for the contest is secure, the availability of top wideout Zay Flowers (knee) -- who didn't practice -- is in question.
