Lamar Jackson Returns to Practice Amid Injuries

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice after missing multiple sessions due to back and knee injuries, raising hopes he will play in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. Earlier reports indicated concern over his condition, especially following the team's surprising loss to the Cleveland Browns. Jackson's performance this season has been stellar, with 2,099 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and only two interceptions, making him a key player in the Ravens' Super Bowl aspirations. The team also acquired wide receiver Diontae Johnson to bolster their offense, while several defensive players are sidelined, including nose tackle Michael Pierce. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh initially described Jackson's absence as a rest day, but the official injury report reflected a different narrative. The situation remains fluid as the Ravens prepare for back-to-back games against the Broncos and Bengals.
