All right, the big question this week is Lamar. He missed the Browns game with the ankle injury, and the Ravens have now gone two straight without him. So naturally, everyone’s going to be watching practice. Is he out there? Is he moving around? Is he doing more as the week goes on? We’ll get a much better sense of where things stand from that than from trying to read between the lines of a press conference.

There’s also Stanley and Hendrickson, and the schedule doesn’t give Baltimore much breathing room. The Bengals are coming off their bye for Sunday’s game in Baltimore. Then it’s Buffalo, with the Bills coming off their bye. Two rested teams in two weeks, and two serious tests for Minter’s group.

Lamar Jackson’s Practice Status

Lamar hasn’t practiced since the ankle injury on October 4th. If he gets back out there this week, that’s a good sign. But let’s see how much he’s actually able to do and whether he can build on it through the week. Just seeing him at one practice doesn’t automatically mean he’s ready for Sunday.
