Lamar Jackson’s Inspiring Return Energizes Ravens Ahead of Steelers Clash
The Baltimore Ravens kicked off their first practice open to the media in nearly a month with a full roster, providing a much-needed boost as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. This Week 14 AFC North showdown holds significant implications, with the top spot in the division standings at stake.
Among the most heartening developments was the presence of franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has been notably absent at the start of practice leading up to the last three games. Prior to this session, Jackson missed practices due to various injuries: a knee issue following the Ravens’ victory over the Minnesota Vikings, an ankle setback after defeating the Cleveland Browns, and a toe injury that kept him sidelined after a win against the New York Jets.
The return of Jackson to the field represents a turning point for the Ravens. His participation marks the first time in four weeks that he has been able to join his teammates on the practice field at the start of the week.
In addition to Jackson’s return, cornerback Nate Wiggins was also able to participate, bouncing back from a foot injury. With both players back in action, the Ravens appear to be rallying at just the right moment, gearing up for a crucial divisional battle against their long-time rivals.
Fans and teammates alike are hopeful that Jackson’s presence will translate into a strong performance as the Ravens aim to solidify their position in the playoff race.
