Lamar Jackson, after missing three straight weeks, is finally expected to be back under center for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. This is the news Ravens fans have been waiting for, a massive development as their team navigates a tricky early season.
The MVP Is Back, Baby!
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport dropped the bomb on Tuesday, reporting Jackson is believed to be “as close to 100% as he’s been” since that ankle injury sidelined him. Rapoport didn’t mince words, saying, “First of all, I expect based on the people I’ve spoken with that Lamar Jackson will play this week. He’ll be on the field this week against the Buffalo Bills.” That’s not just a rumor, folks; that’s the word from the insider, and the Ravens themselves expect him to play. This is the first time Jackson has been this close to full health since the injury, which is a massive signal that things are finally trending in the right direction. It’s not yet officially confirmed by the Ravens or Jackson, but this report is the most positive sign that he’s coming back.
The Ravens NEED Him On The Field
And boy, do they need him. The Ravens have clearly felt Jackson’s absence hard. They even blew a 13-0 lead in Week 7, a game everyone thought he’d be in. Now sitting at a somewhat vulnerable 4-3, getting Jackson back for this huge clash against the Bills is an absolute game-changer. Tyler Huntley has been holding down the fort, but Jackson coming back means the Ravens are bringing their full firepower to the field. What a relief for the entire squad!
So, get ready for Week 8. The Ravens are gearing up to face the Buffalo Bills, and it looks like their MVP is back. After a three-week layoff, and now being almost fully healthy, all eyes will be on Jackson to see if he can immediately reignite that offense and get Baltimore back on track. This could define their season’s momentum, especially after a couple of tough weeks without him.
