Lamar Jackson was not originally on the Raven's initial injury report Saturday morning. But, the team tweeted shortly after that they were adding him, and Jackson is now listed as questionable in Sunday's game against the Bears.
We are adding QB Lamar Jackson (illness) back to the injury report, and he is questionable to play tomorrow vs. Chicago.

Just before 11 a.m. Saturday morning, the Ravens released their official list of injury reports titled “Who's Playing, Who's Not: Ravens Offense May Get Pieces Back for Bears Game.”

This title alluded to the possibility of Jackson starting Sunday in Chicago. He did not practice twice this week due to a non-COVID related illness, and returned to the practice field on Friday. Seeing Jackson participate Friday was a positive sign for Ravens fans, Lamar Jackson fantasy football GMs, and his team.
However, something happened between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., because now Jackson is questionable to start. Two other potential signs of hope for the offense include wide receivers Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman. The two practiced Friday with Jackson after also missing practice time. Brown's practice was limited (thigh injury) and he is listed as questionable for Sunday. Bateman was a full participant in Friday's practice and has no game designation.
Obviously, not having their star quarterback would be a huge loss for the Ravens offense. The mobile quarterback has thrown 14 touchdowns and ran for two himself so far this season. He has a total of 2,447 passing yards and 639 rushing.
