Ravens’ Lamar Jackson returns to practice ahead of Week 12

Lamar Jackson is making significant progress towards recovering from a recent injury ahead of the Baltimore Ravens' Week 12 matchup for the 2025 NFL season.

Jackson has had injuries affect his availability on the field for the Ravens. A hamstring injury he sustained against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4 had him miss three consecutive games before he came back in Week 9.

The star quarterback picked up another injury, this time involving the ankle. It had him miss Wednesday's practice, but it wasn't enough to keep him out of Thursday's session, per reporter Jamison Hensley.

“Lamar Jackson has returned to practice Thursday. Jackson missed Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury,” Hensley wrote.
