Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson appears ready to return after missing three games with a hamstring injury. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Jackson is expected to start Thursday night\u2019s matchup against the Miami Dolphins, marking a major boost for the Ravens as they aim to extend their recent momentum.<\/p>\n
Jackson sustained the injury in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs, forcing him out of action since September 28. His return could redefine Baltimore\u2019s offensive rhythm just as the team begins a crucial midseason stretch.<\/p>\n
John Harbaugh Confirms Positive Progress in Lamar Jackson\u2019s Recovery<\/h2>\n
Speaking to reporters on Monday, coach John Harbaugh expressed strong optimism about Jackson\u2019s availability for Week 9. \u201cI feel very confident about it,\u201d Harbaugh said, noting that the quarterback looked \u201cgreat\u201d during the team\u2019s latest walkthrough. According to ESPN, Jackson was listed as a full participant, a major sign that he is nearing full fitness.<\/p>\n
Before the injury, the two-time MVP led the NFL with a 130.5 passer rating, tallying 10 touchdowns and just one interception. His leadership and mobility are key assets for the Ravens\u2019 offense, which has struggled with consistency during his absence.<\/p>\n
Jackson initially injured his hamstring late in the third quarter against Kansas City and has since undergone an intensive rehab program. After limited practice sessions last week, he progressed well enough to take full reps on Monday, signaling that Baltimore\u2019s franchise star is back on track.<\/p>\n
Without Jackson, the Ravens managed a 1-2 record but saw promising performances from backup quarterback Tyler Huntley. In Sunday\u2019s 30-16 victory over the Chicago Bears, Huntley completed 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown, and added 53 rushing yards. His efficient play helped Baltimore end a four-game losing streak, but the difference Jackson makes under center is undeniable.<\/p>\n Since Jackson became the starter in 2018, the Ravens hold a 74-32 record (including playoffs) with him on the field, compared to just 5-12 when he\u2019s sidelined. His dual-threat ability has consistently elevated the offense, and his return against a top-tier Miami defense could serve as a pivotal moment in the Ravens\u2019 season.<\/p>\n If cleared to start, Thursday\u2019s game will mark Jackson\u2019s first action since Week 4. Historically, he has excelled in return games, holding a 2-0 record when coming back from injury. Baltimore will likely tailor its game plan to ease him in\u2014focusing on quick passes and controlled mobility to minimize stress on his hamstring.<\/p>\n The Dolphins enter Week 9 with one of the NFL\u2019s most dynamic offenses, led by Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill. Jackson\u2019s presence will be vital to keep Baltimore\u2019s pace and sustain long drives. The Ravens\u2019 offensive line will also play a critical role in protecting their quarterback from unnecessary hits.<\/p>\n As Thursday approaches, all signs point toward Lamar Jackson\u2019s long-awaited return. If his recovery continues smoothly, the Ravens could regain their MVP-caliber leader just in time to reignite their playoff push.<\/b><\/p>\n Coach John Harbaugh said Jackson looked great in walkthroughs and is expected to start against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Jackson suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs on September 28, 2025.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n The Ravens are 5-12 without Jackson since 2018, compared to 74-32 when he starts, including playoffs.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley started in Jackson\u2019s absence, delivering a strong performance in a 30-16 win over the Bears.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Following their clash with the Dolphins, the Ravens will continue a challenging schedule that could define their playoff seeding.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n \niNews covers the latest and most impactful stories across Get the latest news first by following us on![\"Lamar](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/inews.zoombangla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lamar-Jackson.jpg?ssl=1\")
