Tops 300 yards in win Jackson completed 22 of 37 passes for 316 yards and a touchdown while adding 28 rushing yards on seven carries in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.

Impact He showed off his arm strength on the TD, as Marquise Brown laid out in the end zone to haul in a 49-yard heave from Jackson in the second quarter that put the Ravens in the lead for good. The 316 yards were not only a season high for Jackson, it represented his first 300-yard performance in over two years (Week 1 of 2019 against Miami). Jackson will look for more success through the air in Week 5 at home against the Colts.

Suits up Sunday Jackson (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Likely to play Jackson (back) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Broncos, but he's expected to play barring any setbacks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Jackson was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday due to the injury, but he returned for a full practice Friday. With that in mind, Jackson should be able to suit up against a Broncos defense that has taken advantage of relatively favorable matchups through three games. Jackson, meanwhile, has racked up 761 passing yards and 251 rushing yards while accounting for five touchdowns in three contests.

Lamar Jackson back at practice for Ravens

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was back at practice after missing the previous two days with a back issue

OCTOBER 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Listed as questionable after full practice Jackson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after returning to a full practice Friday.

Impact Jackson is one of nine players listed by the Ravens as questionable for the contest, but after logging a full practice session Friday -- and looking good in the process, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com -- the QB is on track to suit up this weekend, barring any setbacks in advance of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Practices fully Coach John Harbaugh relayed that Jackson (back) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Impact Back-to-back absences Wednesday and Thursday put the focus on Jackson's Friday participation level. It's still possible that the Ravens elect to list the QB as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, but at this stage it looks like he'll be good to go in Week 4.

Practicing Friday Jackson (back) is participating at Friday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jackson sat out practice the past two days while managing back soreness, so it's a good sign to see him back on the field, even if he only ends up working as a limited participant. It's unclear whether the 24-year-old will end up with an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos, though he at least appears to be trending in the right direction.

Logs another missed practice Jackson (back) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jackson is dealing with what Zrebiec describes as back soreness, with Josina Anderson of USA Today relaying that the Ravens view the injury as a "low-level concern." Anderson adds that the team would have more concern about Jackson's availability for Sunday's game in Denver if the quarterback is unable to practice again Friday, so he'll ideally return to the field for the final session of the week as a limited participant, at the very least.

Back flares up Offensive coordinator Greg Roman relayed Thursday that Jackson is dealing with a back flare-up and should be fine, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact That said, Roman noted that the team is in "wait-and-see" mode in terms of the QB practicing Thursday. With that in mind, we'll circle back on Jackson's status once the Ravens re-take the field, but for now at least, his availability for Sunday's game against the Broncos does not appear to be in any danger.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with back issue Jackson's absence from practice Wednesday was due to a back issue, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Shaffer notes that Jackson "took a couple good hits to the upper body" during this past Sunday's win over the Lions, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest that the QB's Week 4 availability is in any danger as a result. A return to the field Thursday, in any capacity, would support that notion.
